This is the same type of pickup as on an electric guitar, it does not directly pick up a sound or a physical vibration, but the vibration frequency of a material sensitive to magnetism which vibrates nearby (a few millimeters at most) !
It is also sensitive to electromagnetic waves, which allows us to explore a whole world of sounds inaudible to the naked ear, hidden in our installations and electrical / electronic devices!
Connected directly to an amp, or accompanied by a recorder (not supplied) it is the ideal companion for all sonic exploration and experimentation!
The two holes at the ends, the elastic cord provided and the screw thread compatible with camera tripods located on the back of the pickup allow you to consider a large number of installation solutions for your recordings.

Non-contractual photos, wood being a living material, it is possible that the microphone you will receive does not have exactly the same patterns as the photos above.
