Contact Microphones

Contact microphones Ischell C1, C2 and C3 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.

  1. I bought this microphone for a hybrid classical/flamenco luthier guitar.
    The naturalness of the sound is impressive.
    Perfect balance between registers, no muffled or buzzing areas.
    The key is finding the exact location where the contact microphone should be placed. It took us two hours to find this spot (somewhere under the nut, between strings 4 and 5), but once we found it, it was impressive.
    Whether it's an arpeggio with a classic attack, a powerful rasgueo or a golpe on a soundboard, the naturalness is always there, just as the possible range of nuances is as wide as in acoustics.
    I say it a third time, impressive!!!
    Merci mille voice Ischell

  2. Dear Fischer, thank you for finally making my amplified Double Bass sound just like it does acoustically. It is much more feedback resistant than a mic, but still sounds like one. I've tried every Piëzo pickup under the sun and nothing comes as close as the X48C3-T from you. The sound is so natural and blends perfectly with a minimum of EQ (mostly just a high pass filter). Goodbye Piezo, I will never go back. In fact, I think I'll have to get me a spare/backup X48C3-T.

    I found the placement on my bass was perfect if placed right between the G-side bridge foot and the sound post, without touching the bridge. I'm extremely happy with this purchase and can highly recommend it to Double Bass players seeking a natural amplified sound, without the dreaded 'Piëzo-quack'; and without the feedback pitfalls of using a microphone through an amp for Live use.
