Frequently Asked Questions
It's decent, but expect a slight loss of high-end sparkle compared to a top-tier wired pickup – the piezo element has inherent limitations.
Probably, but you’ll need to be mindful of frequency overlap. It's best suited for smaller ensembles to avoid interference.
While it's designed for 86mm, it *might* fit slightly larger holes, but the clamping mechanism's effectiveness will be reduced and you risk instability.
