JourneyTek Classical Passive 4-piezo Pickup EP004K

Journey Instruments Pickups

The EP-004K Passive piezo pickup is an elegant pickup solution for transparent tone to amplify the natural sound of your acoustic guitar. Installation requires no modification to your guitar apart from drilling the endpin jack hole and gluing the elements to the bridge plate. This new model can be upgraded without the use of tools to our new active stereo pickup that features a goosneck microphone and these discrete soundhole controls: Master Volume, Balance, Bass, Treble, Phase.

General Specs and Details:

• 3 balanced German-made ceramic piezo elements – 20mm diameter
• no batteries needed
• length of wire from peizo element to pickup jack: 22cm
• frequency response 22Hz-18kHz
  • EADGBE guitar frequency range is E2 (82 Hz) to F6 (1,397 Hz)
• Installation Guide Here: https://journeyinstruments.com/pickup-installation/
• NOTE: As this is an endpin jack, you may consider buying our Journey Guitar Strap which is slit to fit this endpin. Otherwise, you may need to enlarge the hole for your strap.
• THIS IS RECOMMENDED FOR CLASSICAL GUITARS OR GUITARS WITH A CENTER BRACE. If you have a 6 string guitar that does not have a center brace, we recommend the EP001K as it’s easier to position the piezo elements, and the additional sensitivity from the extra piezo on this model is minor.  If you’re determined to use the 4 piezo model on your guitar with no center brace, however, we recommend positioning the piezos equidistant along the bridgeplate under the saddle so that on the 1st and 6th strings the piezo element extends about 4 mm beyond the center of the strings. If this extends beyond the bridgeplate or you don’t have room, you can simply line them up as evenly as possible on the bridge plate so that they fit. You can allow for a maximum of 3 mm overhang if your bridgeplate doesn’t have enough room. It’s impossible for us to give  precise positions on this because there are so many variations on bridge plate sizes and string spacing.
