Schatten Banjo Pickups BJ-02 Std. and BJ-02 Pro
Fits All Banjos - 4 string, 5 string, 6 string
Revolutionary!
The BJ-02 pickup sensor is installed on the underside of the banjo head and is
usually placed directly under and inline with the center foot of the bridge.
The pickup is totally non-damping. It does not interfere in any way whatsoever
with natural acoustic tone or output of the banjo.
New For 2008 - The BJ-02 Pro model - Our Best Selling Banjo Pickup Is Now Available With A Volume Control
This particular placement of the sensor allows the pickup to "hear" just what the banjo is doing.
The center foot of the bridge is driving the element directly for maximum output and
clarity and it is due to this same placement of the element that also gives the BJ-02's
their superior anti-feedback characteristics. It is very difficult for feedback to drive
the pickup in reverse due to the overall stiffness of the bridge area.
The BJ-02 series is designed to work on any banjo. Five string, tenor, six string; all sound excellent with this pickup.
Installation of the pickup system takes about ten minutes and everything that you need to
complete the installation is included with the system.

On a 'normal' banjo with a three footed bridge, the pickup is to be installed on the underside of the
head directly under the centre foot of the bridge. On tenor banjos or banjos having a two footed bridge,
the suggested placement for the pickup is on the underside of the head directly under the bass side bridge foot.
The BJ-02 Std. comes with our NBJA rosewood bodied jack assembly with a 1/4" output jack. The new BJ-02 Pro
features a small black ABS jack assembly with a 1/4" output jack and an integrated volume control.
These jack assemblies nestle in tight against the tensioning hooks and simply clamp to those tensioning
hooks in the same way that a normal arm rest attaches.
This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a
preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).If you require the added ability to be able to
plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add one of our Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.

BJ-02M - Combination Pickup and Condenser Microphone System
Fits All Banjos - 4, 5, and 6 String
Introducing Schatten Design's newest model of banjo pickup the BJ-02M. By combining an interior mounted powered condenser mic with our proven BJ-02,
we have produced a banjo system that provides a fullness of sound that was not possible before.
The new BJ-02M adds an internally mounted powered condenser microphone and a 2 channel Mini Pre 2 outboard belt clipable preamp to our outstanding
BJ-02 to provide unparalleled sound quality.
Revolutionary - When we introduced the BJ-02 series of pickups about 12 years ago we said that it was ....''A banjo pickup that allows your
banjo to sound like your banjo, only louder''.... The addition of the M powered condenser microphone in the BJ-02M opens up the sound and
allows for more natural tonality.
So we could say that the BJ-02M allows your banjo to sound like your banjo, only more so.The new BJ-02M system offers good feedback rejection along with simple,
non-invasive installation.
Schatten haven't forgotten you. M Kits are available to upgrade your existing Schatten banjo pickup.

| Schatten Bouzouki/Mandola Pick up Series |
|
The new BM-1 Series of pickups was designed with a lengthened sensor element to enable it work properly
on the bridges of Bouzouki's, Mandola's, fixed non-adjustable Mandolins and Citterns that traditionally
have a wider string spacing format than a standard mandolin. This series of pickups allows you to add a
pickup system to your instrument without having to change the bridge or modify anything .
Featuring our new MVC jack assemblies (which simply attach to the underside of the existing tailpiece),
the BM-1's offer a real alternative to pickups that require bridge replacement.
The BM-1 sensor is small and light in weight. 1/4" high by 2 1/4" in length and will not affect the acoustic
sound of the instrument. It will work on virtually all of these instrument's bridges, adjustable or fixed, and
only requires a small flat area on the bridge face for the sensor to adhere to.
Features:
* Ease of installation, the pickup adheres to the bridge with VHB foam tape.
* The jack assembly, available with or without a volume control simply adheres to the underside of the tailpiece.
* Clean, clear sound reproduction.
This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound good without the use of a preamp when
plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.). As with any pickup, the sound can be
further enhanced and EQ'd with an outboard preamp. If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly
into a P.A. or mixer on a regular or occasional basis, then you may wish to add one of our Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.

Schatten Cello Pickup |

A combination of tremendous sound coupled with amazing response. This pickup is truly one of a kind.
The new C-12 Std. model cello pickup is now available. It offers the same brilliance and clarity of sound
as our old C-10 unit but requires absolutely no modification to your instrument.
As you can see by the picture below, the piezo sensing unit is quite small and light in weight.
It measures just about 1/2" x 5/8" x 1/8" thick. It goes on to your cello bridge with a little bit of
the special putty that comes supplied with the pickup.
The pickup system can be installed on your cello in about 3 minutes and was designed to allow you to
install and remove it quickly and easily.
There is no acoustic degradation or loss of normal acoustic tone or volume.
The pickup has excellent volume, and is strong and sweet throughout its' full dynamic range.
The C-12 comes ready to go and is pre-wired to the new rosewood faced jack assembly that clamps
quickly and securely between the center strings just above the tail piece.
This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when
plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).
If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you
may wish to add one of our Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.
Each pickup is hand built and tested in our workshop to ensure good sound. As well,
each pickup is warranted for a period of two years from date of purchase to the original purchaser.
