Harp Contact Microphone

The picture shows an Accusound Contact Microphone, fitted to the front of a Harp

Our customers have commented on how good the Accusound Contact Mic reproduces the harp's sound.

When they have been playing as part of a group, the audience has said that it was the first time they had properly heard the harp


The Accusound contact microphone, shown on a harp above, provides a method of picking up the many vibrational nodes distributed throughout a harp's sound-board. Since the pattern of these nodes varies according to the note that is being played a ‘hot spot’ type pick up will select less of these nodes. The device is attached to the sound-board by means of low-tack double-sided tape. Where especially sensitive surfaces are involved a special non-invasive technique is available.

All Accusound contact microphone are available in two electrical configurations:

A FET version and phantom power adaptor is supplied to connect to a standard mixing desk or balanced microphone input of a PA system. If phantom power is not available then a battery phantom power adaptor can be supplied, this can also be used into a back-line or guitar amplifier.

A non-FET version can be supplied if you wish to connect to a back-line or guitar type amplifier but do not wish to use a phantom power adaptor.

 

These systems can also be supplied as wireless systems.
