Frequently Asked Questions
KnetiCore is designed to be more responsive to subtle nuances in string vibration, resulting in a more natural, less 'quacky' sound than many standard piezo discs.
While it can be used direct, a preamp is highly recommended to boost the signal and shape the tone, especially for live performance.
Yes, Schatten’s adhesive is specifically formulated to hold securely even on heavier instruments, but surface preparation is key for optimal adhesion.
