Contact Microphones

Contact microphones Ischell C1, C2, C3 and C4 are new types of pickups that attach to the instrument with a specific putty audio adhesive. The sound is comparable to an aerial microphone, fidelity, warmth, width, air… With the acoustic insulation and the feedback resistance of a piezo pickup, allowing to play in conditions of high levels on stage. You can easily use it in an amp, apply effects or make clean loops. A revolution in the amplification of many instruments on stage! An innovation Ischell

Miniature Aerial Microphonesaircapt

The aerial microphones Ischell A1 and A3 are miniature condenser microphones with a design studied to be placed closer to the sound on the instrument. It optimizes sound pickup with more gain, less feedback and less ambient noise. Particularly suitable for acoustic situations or as a complement to our contact microphone, they faithfully and very naturally reproduce the sound of your instrument with precision, dynamics and allow comfortable levels on stage without a microphone stand.

    X48C4-T Great microphones!!
    I use them in stereo for a Yamaha upright piano.
    The balance is superb and the sound presence is incredible.
    I highly recommend them!!

    X48C4-T I am very satisfied with this microphone, which allows for a faithful reproduction of the sound of my double bass, whether pizzicato or bowed. Installation is quick, and the different suggested positions produce truly distinct results. This allows you to find the desired sound and fine-tune the settings.
    I highly recommend it.

    Ich habe das C3 Mic auf meinem laminierten Kontrabass (ca. 1950/60 Osteuropa) installed, am natürlichsten war der Klang ca. mm below the Stegfußes an der E-Saite, direkt auf der Linies des Bass Balkens. Auf der Position unterhalb des anderen Stegfußes an der G-Saite klang es nicht so gut. Der Sound Post befindet sich bei diem Bass ca, 20 mm unterhalb des Stegfußes. I find the Klang that is gut and old schöner als an Piezo Abnehmer. Klare Empfehlung von mir es auch auf laminierten Bässen zu probieren. Danke für den Support an Fischer!

    This microphone is excellent for my Celtic harp, both for live performance and as a complement to studio recordings. I highly recommend it!

    ​ »The pickup performs exceptionally well, producing a warm and natural tone of my Zither. The frequency separation is great, keeping both low and high frequencies clear and distinct. »
