An approach that has become a reference in acoustic amplification
Developed by Ned Steinberger and David Gage, the The Realist range was born from a clear idea: to offer piezo sensors that are easy to install and capable of best reproducing the real dynamics of the instrument. The goal is not to "transform" the sound, but to transmit it as naturally as possible, thanks to a minimalist and effective design.
For what use and which musician?
This piezo microphone is aimed at musicians who want to amplify an acoustic instrument while maintaining a playing feel close to the "ear" sound. Suitable for stage, rehearsals, and contexts requiring reliable pickup, it is appropriate for both beginners (simplicity) and intermediate and advanced players (nuances, articulation), depending on the instrument and amplification system used.
Sound
A piezo sensor captures vibrations in contact with the instrument: the reproduction therefore strongly depends on the mechanical response (attack, sustain, dynamics) and how the instrument vibrates at the placement point. The Realist philosophy aims for a natural and undistorted sound image, with good nuance reading, for an amplified sound that remains close to your instrument's acoustic identity.
