The Ehrlund Acoustic Pickup (EAP) is a linear pickup microphone intended primarily for acoustic string instruments such as guitar, violin, double bass and cello. It can, however, also be used for percussion or other instruments that vibrate or resonate. A linear microphone means the pickup reproduces a flat frequency response and does not alter or "colour" the sound of the recording or output at all. The EAP captures the vibrations in the acoustic instrument, which enables the microphone to deliver very good separation even in normally "impossible" environments where the other musicians are generating high sound levels on their respective instruments. We strongly recommend you combine the EAP with a preamplifier that has a phase and frequency linear response to get the most out of your pickup - Ehrlund Preamplifiers are optimised for this.
