  • Under saddle piezo pickup

Hi everyone,

I have been using this circuit to regulate voltages spikes from a piezo mic. With the intention to get more contact from a piezo mic, I have been trying this model of pickup that it is suppose to be place under a saddle.

In theory, they should work as any other piezo disks when using this, but for some reason I am missing some information here. Maybe I need a preamp for this type of mic like this video: [

Does someone have tried this mic on bela before?

giuliomoro This is the mic that I am using.

But I think found the problem: Since this piezo has less contact, I am actually getting a signal but it is very soft

    that doesn't say much ... maybe there is nothing to be said ...

    makes sense ... not sure a preamp would necessarily make it better: the signal-to-noise ratio is probably going to be significantly worse than what it was with a piezo disk ...
