This website is dedicated to electronic pickups which are a new kind of devices. Electronic pickups are pickups for stringed instruments, unlike traditional pickups they do not use coils or piëzo's. They are completely build up from electronic components. Electronic pickups are patented with Dutch and International Patents. Electronic pickups have some advantages over traditional pickups. Some of the advantages are listed below: |
Much higher dynamics than traditional pickups, with this we mean that the difference between a soft and a hard struck note is much louder than with the traditional pickups. Very high channel separation, or very low signal crossover. This makes it possible for instance by a 12 string guitar, to pickup each of the double strings separately or in groups. |
The high channel separation makes them ideally suited for use as hexaphonic pickup for driving V-guitar systems or guitar synths. Electronic pickups can be made very thin, so they can be placed under the strings of for instance a citer. Because electronic pickups do not use coils they work very well on metal covered nylon strings. With a little trick they can also be used for nylon strings without metal cover |
Electronic pickups are insensitive for magnetic fields, this makes them ideally suited to use in a feedbacksystem with a magnetic actuator. Because electronic pickups do not use magnetic fields they have no string pull and so a longer sustain than electromagnetic pickups. They are not sensitive to stray magnetic fields, from for instance your amplifier, like coil based pickups. |

Electronic pickups have a flat frequency curve, so no resonance "color" is added. Unlike traditional pickups that do not have a flat frequency response. This allows for broader "colouring"by means of equalisation or tone control. |
