A.R.T.(Acoustic Resonance Transducer) technology
A pickup/preamplifier system newly developed for electric acoustic guitars.
Newly developed contact pickup - Unique multilayer structure achieves optimum dynamic balance.
Yamaha acoustic-electric guitars have consistently used piezoelectric pickups to repdoduce the pure sounds of the
acoustic guitar. But piezoelectric pickups tended to overreact to changes in attack, which in turn caused distortion. To
achive ideal playability, we had to improve the way that these dynamics were controlled.
To provide a solution to this issue, the new pickup was designed with a multilayer structure consisting of six layers of
different materials. This dampens excessive vibration from the topboard while picking up small resonances to achieve ideal
sensitivity and outstanding dynamic balance. Also, because the pickup is fitted directly beneath the topboard, it functions as
a transducer attached to the body.
3-way configuration
In addition to two main pickups mounted under the saddle, this system has one each on the bass and treble sides to
capture the vibrations of the entire length of the strings and body, as well as the sound’s bass and treble components.
The pickups are laid out in such a way as to achieve clear reproduction even during high-position soloing.
Offers separate controls for
main and the two sub pickups
(bass and treble). It also has
a Master Volume control for final
output level adjustment.
The preamplifier has only four
controls on the body side so
as to minimize impact on body
resonance. These push-lock
knobs fit into the body when
not in use.
The main pickups are controlled via the
master volume, while the bass and treble
pickups are controlled independently.
The system is also equipped with a 3-
band equalizer for versatile sound production
that fully satisfies the musician’s
creative demands.
The onboard tuner is easy to view on
stage, even under low light conditions.
This system offers individual controls for
the main pickup and two sub pickups
(bass and treble). It also has a 3-band
equalizer and Master Volume for fine
tone tailoring.
