The Fishman RARE EARTH SINGLE COIL Single Coil Soundhole pickup for Acoustic Guitar, Active electronics. Produces a natural, bright and characteristic single-coil sound.
The Fishman Rare Earth Single Coil pickup is a compact active magnetic soundhole pickup, designed for most steel-string, flat top guitars. Its low profile design ensures that both your picking style and the guitar’s acoustic tone will not be affected. The natural sound of your acoustic guitar is reproduced a by the Rare Earth thanks to state-of-the-art magnetic field/coil structure and advanced active electronics. A unique arrangement of neodymium magnets is responsible for the Rare Earth's excellent string balance and light weight. Neodymium (a rare earth element, hence the name) has 10 times the magnetic strength of ceramic magnets, which makes the Rare Earth smaller and lighter than many traditional soundhole pickups. Each magnet in the Rare Earth is voiced for precise balance with bronze or phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings. This model is for those who prefer the brightness and character associated with a single coil pickup. Note that this version, like all single coil pickups, is susceptible to 50-60 HZ hum. To minimize noise, keep the Rare Earth Single Coil away from fluorescent lights, dimmer packs, computer monitors and transformers.
