Description
The Nu Series Modular Active Pickups are hacker friendly, general purpose pickups that can be used in a variety of applications. These are active pickups utilizing low impedance coils, permalloy ring shields to minimize crosstalk, and an integrated differential, low-power, low-noise preamplifier for each coil. These small pickups are modular and can be used individually or in groups.
The pickups are designed for multichannel processing — one for each string (distortion, EQ, compressor, delay, pan, pitch-shift, etc). Such extensive processing is now possible due to advances in digital signal processing and the proliferation of multi-channel audio interfaces and multi-track audio software.
These modular pickups are not just for guitars. Nus are also successfully utilized in other musical instruments such as the bass guitar, cellos, harps, pianos, xylophones, etc.
Nu Capsule
The Nu capsule is the most basic modular building block which includes the permalloy shielded pickup and integrated preamplifier. The Nu capsule is intended to be PCB mounted and includes a 5-pin 2mm pitch header connector that can be directly soldered to a PCB, or mounted to a corresponding female header. The Nu capsule includes reverse polarity protection for the supply pins.
- Permalloy ring for improved electromagnetic isolation, better string focus and crosstalk reduction.
- Low noise discrete/Op Amp hybrid differential preamplifier for improved immunity to electrostatic noise.
- High dynamic range, expanded power supply range from 5v up to 18v.
- Instrument-level.
- Low output impedance with a 17 mA current drive capability.
- Rail-to-Rail Output.
