From piezo to pure, warm acoustic sound: Yamaha's SRT2 pickup
The innovative SRT2 pickup offers a wide range of professional sound reproduction. Accordingly, the portion of the Undersaddle pickup can be mixed with two microphone types to achieve the optimum sound result. For the simulated microphone signal, a Neumann U67 and a Royer R122 were used as models.
A total of four controllers are available: Knob(A) controls the output volume, knob(B) adjusts the high frequencies, knob(C) provides the level adjustments of the low bass frequencies, while pressing activates automatic feedback reduction. Control (D) controls the mixing level between the pickup and the simulated microphone source, while pressing switches between the two microphone types.
