I recently revised the Meredith document to reflect the recent updates to our Internal Breakout board. What is it? This document presents the most basic Nu multichannel setup. You can use that guide as a use-case reference on how to install and integrate a Nu Multi Pickup, along with other pickups.
The Internal Breakout has been redesigned. Now at version 2.6. Follow the link to see what’s new.
This is really surprising! I never would have imagined! I originally intended the Nu pickup to be used as a per-string guitar pickup when I designed it. However, as time passed, it ended up being used in a variety of other applications, but who would have thought it could be used for drums?
A brief diversion from the Manufacturing Thor series. Here are some photos of Ferdinand Liedtke’s Nu-equipped Cello. The Nu modular pickups are used in all sorts of instruments! Ferdinand says he’ll share some sound clips soon.

And by doing so, and despite the global chip shortage and supply chain delays, we were still able to significantly optimize our manufacturing costs by scaling up. We can do that, now that …
If we can do 4, of course, we can also do 10! Here’s a custom Nu Multi 10. All-black matte finish.
This custom single-coil Precision Bass Nu Multi 4 is looking good! For the baseplate, this time we went for “brushed” acrylic with a unidirectional satin finish. I think an all-black matte finish looks good. Through the years, we went from the original buffed clear acrylic, and then to buffed black acrylic. I’m inclined to make …
Here’s a rare peek into the insides of a thousand Nu Capsules in various stages of completion before epoxy encapsulation. The Nu Capsules are small hacker friendly, general purpose pickups that can be used in a variety of applications.
