The Schaller Oyster D/S acoustic guitar pickup is designed for guitarists who want to amplify their acoustic sound quickly and with control. Thanks to the contact pickup principle, the vibration of the soundboard is captured directly, resulting in a balanced and musical reproduction of your playing. The built-in volume control allows you to adjust the output level directly on the instrument, without the need for additional equipment.
What sets this pickup apart is its simple installation. The Oyster D/S is mounted on the inside of the soundboard using a special malleable adhesive compound. This means that no drilling or permanent modification to your guitar is required. The sound remains open and dynamic, with sufficient definition for both fingerstyle and strumming.
Compared to many other passive pickups in this class, the Oyster D/S offers a notably full midrange and controlled bass response. Susceptibility to feedback remains limited, making it suitable for use in band settings or on an amplified stage. This makes the pickup a versatile choice for singer-songwriters, accompanists in acoustic ensembles, and guitarists who also perform amplified.
The Schaller Oyster D/S comes supplied with mounting materials and a jack cable as standard, making it ready for immediate use with an acoustic amplifier or PA system. For players who want to get the very best out of the Schaller Oyster D/S, an
acoustic guitar amplifier can be a valuable addition. These amplifiers are specifically designed for the frequency range of acoustic instruments, ensuring that the natural sound of the pickup is preserved, both at home and during smaller performances.
