PiezoBarrel R1 Tuba Pickup and 4 meter cable with brass adapters for large shank Tuba Mouthpiece or lead pipe installation but small shank mouthpiece adapters can be supplied if required.  The PiezoBarrel R1 pickup for Tuba is designed to amplify bass down to low frequencies and has an increased gain to accommodate the low pressure output from the tuba.

This pickup comes with brass adapters that can be installed on a tuba mouthpiece shank.  The adapters come with a thumb screw with O ring to seal the hole when the pickup is not being used.

Included:-
  • PiezoBarrel R1 Pickup
  • 4m long 3.5mm to 6.3mm shielded cable to plug in to standard 6.3mm (1/4 inch) line or instrument socket.
  • Small Phillips screwdriver to adjust output level.  (this is mainly used with wireless mic systems to reduce the output level to a mic level to prevent distortion).
  • Blocking screws with O rings
  • Manual is available from PiezoBarrel as a PDF file but eBay messages and emails do not allow file attachments so you will need to request a copy of the manual after purchase.  The relevant manual pages have been added to this listing as photos.

Features:-
  • Pickup screws in to the instrument with a M6 x 1.0 standard metric thread.
  • Pickup connection is a standard 3.5mm (1/8th inch) jack/socket.
  • Compatible with a variety of instruments including other brass and wind instruments.
  • Provides high output
  • High signal to noise ratio
  • Does not require pre-amplifier
  • Output voltage is adjustable between zero and full output voltage so it will work with devices expecting small microphone level signals.

  • Low feedback.  As the pickup is built in to the instrument, external sounds have very little impact on the output signal.

  • Reproduces the natural sound of the instrument.
