## Description

OTraki Acoustic Guitar Passive Pickup, Stable Contact Microphone Transducer Self Adhesive Volume Control Piezo Picks, Easily AMP UP Pickups for Acoustic Classical Violin Ukulele Mandolin Banjo Cello : desertcart.co.uk: Musical Instruments & DJ

Review: Works very well! - I bought this so I wouldn't have to cut holes in my classical guitar to fit an under saddle piezoelectric pickup system. It is one of my favourite classical guitars, cutting holes in the body, and altering the bridge and saddle could easily affect the tone, and ruin it. I had seen these Stick-on pickups before but didn't really think they would be any good without a pre-amp. However, I decided to try one, and this OTraki AD35 had good reviews and was reasonably priced. The setup instructions said to try it in different positions on the guitar front until you find the best sound. I didn't want to keep sticking and unsticking it lots of times, so I set my amp up with all the equaliser dials set to zero (centre) flat line. I then plugged the lead into the pickup and amp, and placed it on the guitar without removing the paper. I held it in place with a light touch of a finger and moved it around until I found a really good position. I was surprised at how different positions sounded, and I only had to move it a little at a time. I found a really good spot that gave a nice balanced tone on all strings just below the right end of the bridge (see photos). Any movement of 10 to 15mm in any direction from that spot, and the tone and volume dropped out! The placement was that sensitive and precise, so take the time to get it right. A note on the volume control on the pickup; I quickly realised that turning it up full caused lots of feedback from the amp. I found the best setting for this was just above the half way point, and it solved the feedback problem while still giving a surprisingly loud sound from my acoustic amp. I then peeled off the backing paper and stuck it in place. I have decided to leave it attached, and just unplug the lead when It's not needed. It's not in the way of anything, like changing the strings, and can't get lost or damaged by continually taking it on and off. They are cheap enough to get one for other guitars that need amplifying. The sound quality is excellent with a clear and balanced natural tone, and just needed small adjustments to bass, mid range and treble dials on my amp. It's perfect for now, and a bargain price. Only time will tell whether it is reliable or not. My only criticism is the 2.5mm jack plug and socket connections. The leads are hard to find if it needs replacing, and it would be much better with 3.5mm plug and socket. The lead is only about 3 metres long, and I used it with a 1/4" jack socket to plug 6 metre extension lead. So first impressions are very good. I will update this if I have any problems with it. It gets 5***** for now!
Review: Easy to fit with plenty of cable. - I have 2 guitars that need pickups, my Tenor (in picture) and a Dobro. I thought I’d try it out on the Tenor first. To be fair it works well but is very sensitive and makes a loud echoey bangs when caught by your hand or when you adjust the volume) so you need to place it where you won’t easily catch it. For the money it represents reasonable value, hence me buying a second for the Dobro.

## Features

- Usage: Plug the audio connector into the speaker, locate the pickup volume control, turn it on, and after connecting, set the pickup volume control to maximum and simultaneously set the speaker volume to maximum so that the sound is clear. Notes: The pickup only transmits the recorded signal to the speaker (pickup ≠ speaker).
- WIDELY APPLICATION - This acoustic guitar pickup is great for most string instruments, such as guitar, ukelele, violin, banjo, mandolin etc. Not for non-acoustic instruments such as electric guitars. Can be connected to different recording devices, guitar amplifiers, mixers etc. If you use PC recording, you need a external sound card. Passive piackups also require a preamplifier DI to achieve the pickup effect
- FlEXIBLE VOLUME CONTROL- The volume can be adjusted at will, Crisp sound to avoid harsh sounds.Scroll up and down to adjust the volume, adjust to the upper middle position for better effect. Vibration pickup, free from any environmental interference. Note: Make sure that you put it on the right place on the guitar (just to the right of the hole). If you think the sound is low, you can turn up the middle and high pitches and lower the bass
- HIGHLY RESTORED SOUND AND UNDISTORTED - OTraki piezo guitar pickups Adopt imported chip, equipped with an oxygen-free copper connecting wire to ensure sound stable transmission, and the output sound is more clear and accurate, and the original sound of the instrument is restored to the utmost extent, and the distortion is low.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you remove it ok after attaching it without damaging the instrument ? I have a very old guitar and would not want to damage the varnish.**
A: It did not leave a trace on 2 of my satin finish ukes, but it slightly damaged the surface of my glossy soprano uke. However, you must be careful. The sticky tape that is provided is very strong. When you want to remove the pickup, you need to twist it rather strongly, and all that force exerted on it can actually damage the device. After I had removed it from 2 instruments, the whole thing split open in the middle of a gig. It still worked luckily. I fixed it with sticky tape, but I am not happy about it. If I had known, I would have used a weaker sort of tape, such as masking tape or blue tak, as recommended by some users.

**Q: Can this be connected to an earphone as monitor?**
A: It's passive pickup, need acoustic guitar amp or PA to get a good sound, records an acceptable sound into DAW, if you use PC recording, you need a external sound card and preamplifier DI

**Q: How is it powered**
A: It’s passive. But it works quite well. You will need acoustic guitar amp or PA to get a good sound, records an acceptable sound into DAW. Better than on board piezo in my electro acoustics but nothing beats a mic for recording.

**Q: What size is the is the jack socket on this? Cheers**
A: The jack socket on the pickup is 2.5mm.  It came with the jack to jack lead.
