Nanoflex pickups do not only pick up the vibrations of the strings like conventional underbridge pickups. Nanoflex records the string vibrations AND the vibrations of the instrument body at the same time.
As a result, Nanoflex pickups create a sound that is similar to that of a microphone / bridge pickup combination. No other pickup technology achieves such a high level of amplified reproduction of the original sound of acoustic instruments.
Due to the active amplification directly on the pickup and a 100% shielding of the entire system, Nanoflex pickups are absolutely hum and noise-free.
Because of these properties, the SH 945 NFX is used by the world's most talented violinists.
The volume and tone control unit is mounted on the violin like the chin rest. This includes the input socket for the pickup, a 6.3mm output socket and the battery. With the low energy consumption of the system, the 3V cell battery (type: 2032) lasts for one year.
No drilling or milling is necessary to install the pickup on the instrument!
