Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for picking up sound for acoustic stringed instruments with a sound hole, in particular guitars, optionally usable for picking up by means of a microphone, electromagnetic or piezoelectric pickup, and with the inclusion of usually required or useful electronic assemblies, connections, operating parts and Cables.
- Electromagnetic pickups are very widespread for picking up instruments with steel strings, which reproduce the alternating field excited by the strings as electrical signals. They are usually installed directly under the strings or, as an accessory, can be clamped into the round sound hole (e.g. US 4501186, DE 4406942 AI). Although they are not able to record the natural sound as a highly specific acoustic mixture of direct string or body sounds and indirect body or air mass resonances in their entirety, the sound type they produce is very popular for many applications or Expressly desired. With regard to handling, the designs available as accessories are not entirely satisfactory and the permanently installed systems can generally only be changed by a specialist, or even require major interventions on the instrument.
- piezoelectric contact vibration transducers which differ according to the type of attachment as follows: a) Device with individual pickups attached to the bridge / tailpiece
- Sound results are possible at low volumes, but it can also the freedom of movement of the musician compared to 2.3.1. be improved, however, the combination of the given parameters (low external noise attenuation, preferred use of omnidirectional microphones, compulsion to electro-acoustic compromises in the fastening, etc.) results in an impairment of the sound fidelity and a clear susceptibility to feedback.
- Serious handling disadvantages for example: critical attachment, protruding parts and flying "lines in the control panel, risk of damage to the microphone and instrument, can hardly be avoided. Adjustment and influencing options on the instrument, as well as versatile standard adjustment are hardly possible.
- connection socket gooseneck-mounted microphone US 5010805
- connection socket gooseneck-mounted microphone US 5010805
- connection socket gooseneck-mounted microphone US 5010805
- relatively good sound results without impairing the primary sound are possible, but some aspects are electro-acoustically or mechanically difficult to solve satisfactorily: the best possible pick-up points, angles and microphone capsule types (see also 3.4. ) can only be reached or operated with difficulty, assembly intervention on the instrument is necessary, cannot be installed with many relevant instruments (e.g. guitars without a block), temporary attachment is hardly possible, adjustment and influencing options on the instrument as well as versatile problematic, little or difficult to access space for battery power supply and other accessories.
- PRACTICAL HANDLING AND OPERATIONAL SAFETY extremely easy to attach without changing the instrument, e.g. to enable temporary use in the public address service, connection cable strain relief, use of standard jacks (6.3 mm jack and / or XLR), if possible, without the interposition of loose cables between guitar and standard plug, accommodation for symmetry transmitters, volume controls and, if necessary, additional setting options Ergonomic arrangement, when using batteries, use of particularly favorable and common standards, possibly adjustable integrated mixing option for several converters.
- INTEGRATION OF ACCESSORIES AND OTHER OPTIONS Options for integrating various convenient accessories, such as Tuner, wireless transmitter, possibly with self-charging accumulators (solar cells), assemblies for converting the sound information into digital signals for controlling electronic sound generators or for generating further sound types, further accessories which are expediently to be operated on the instrument.
- various convenient accessories such as Tuner, wireless transmitter, possibly with self-charging accumulators (solar cells), assemblies for converting the sound information into digital signals for controlling electronic sound generators or for generating further sound types, further accessories which are expediently to be operated on the instrument.
- the actual sound is preferably picked up inside the guitar, since the microphone (or transducer) is particularly protected here and the
- the lateral microphone sound inlet openings must also be accessible to certain sound events, and that the deviation in the sound spectrum related to the external sound, as well as the placement, not least in mechanical terms, possibly under may depend on the type (eg: performance) of the instrument used.
- the support anchor can be guided along a circumferential section of the sound hole on or under the instrument ceiling and can be placed against the latter.
- it serves as a holder for one or more pickups, including the associated leads, and possibly. required plug connector, regulator and switch, and can be inserted past the strings through the sound hole into the instrument.
- the support anchor can be connected to a rod-shaped holder for the microphone, which can also be easily inserted past the string string into the sound hole.
- the microphone is preferred by the wand
- a condenser directional microphone with a larger membrane is preferably used as the microphone. From the point of view of cost-effective mass production and the necessary possibility for battery power supply, corresponding, very inexpensive electret condenser directional microphones can also be used, which in the overall view contribute to
- the support anchor can be connected by a suitable design to a holder for the pickup to be installed in the sound hole.
- the support anchor is provided with a suitable design with a holding or support surface for the attachment of a piezo contact pickup.
- a connector can be attached to the armature at a suitable point for operation with a piezoelectric bridge pickup.
- the support anchor can be connected to the tensionable strap.
- the strap pulls the support anchor against the instrument cover when tensioning along an axis running parallel to the instrument cover, so that the anchor is pressed against a sound hole circumference section and is thus fixed.
- the belt can be used for guiding the supply lines, for attaching operating parts and contact pickups and for fastening a molded part to the instrument wall.
- the belt can be locked in its position exerted on the support anchor tension at any point along the belt path or redirected.
- Rod holder a) Bent wire made in one piece with the support anchor and cast as an insert with elastic plastic.

- the removal device is in a very valuable place, particularly with regard to operability and mechanical load-bearing capacity, and is comparatively ample space for receiving electronic assemblies (for example FIG. 5 [6], [5], [3], [1]) oa to disposal. Since it is preferably brought into the bay located at the top during game operations, it is particularly suitable for accommodating positioning and display units which can be operated in an ergonomically clear manner. Even comparatively chunky standard bushes (XLR) find sufficient space and support on the outside of the molded part facing the instrument floor; The outgoing cable (FIG. 1 [15]) can then be safely guided by the operator, preferably between the guitar base and body, which represents an excellent jerk-free strain relief.

- the device is to be illustrated below with the aid of a configured product example for microphone operation:
- FIG.12 shows the device attached to a guitar.
- the rod holder and anchor bracket are made from a bent steel wire with a diameter of approx. 2 mm; it consists of the functional sections capsule retaining ring [2], holding rod [13], anchor arm 1 [3], hanger led outwards [14], anchor arm 2 [5], bracket extension led outwards [6]. 13b shows the cross section along the rod holder axis [13]; a soft rubber profile [17] is put on the capsule holding ring [2]), which ensures a secure fit of the capsule [1] used.
- the membrane [15] of the capsule is about 1cm below the guitar
- Sections [14], [5] and [6] are also provided with shrink tubing to prevent the instrument from being scratched.
- Sections [3] and [5] together form a segment of a circle with a radius of approx. 52 mm;
- the vertical distance shown in FIG. 12b between [13] and the transition to [3] is approx. 35 mm and thus avoids any existing ceiling work.
- the diameter of [2] is 20 mm for the capsule used here, so that it easily fits between the sound hole edge and the outer string.
- the plane of the outer ends of [14] and [6] is approx. 7mm higher than the corresponding one of [5] and [3], so that the instrument cover comes to rest between the V-shaped legs of the wire bend.
- the tensionable strap [10] is 20mm wide and approx. 170mm long; it consists of approx. 1.5mm thick synthetic leather with a 5mm wide and 2mm thick synthetic leather strip sewn onto the back longitudinal edges.
- the supply line [4] is glued into the recess formed in the rear.
- an approximately 10mm wide leather strip [20] is sewn, which is turned over and sewn around the crosspiece of the hanger [14] connecting the sections [3] and [5].
- an approx. 10-15mm wide and untensioned approx. 300mm long Wasehe elastic band is sewn on, the second end [11] of which can be stretched around the instrument and there with a wide hook [12] is glued.

- the supply lines [4] are led through a hole in the housing. Inside is a standard 9 volt transistor battery as well as a printed circuit with an operation
- the device enables a largely natural reproduction of the instrument in microphone operation without the otherwise usual disadvantages of 2.3. described method. It offers the possibility of combining different sound recording techniques (piezoelectr. Or electromagnetic) effectively with microphone recording; the provision of this option gives the musician the opportunity to individually combine the advantages of the known types.
- the device including the associated equipment, can be attached or removed within 5-10 seconds (in the version without an electromagnetic pickup: 3-5 seconds) without changing the instrument and requires no further specific knowledge (e.g. on electro-acoustic relationships in microphone positioning in the Instrument). Such properties are not achieved by any of the known methods for microphone pickup.
- the desire for picking up the body sounds also applies to many users of pickups according to 2.1., 2.2. instruments that were equipped at the factory, he has been able to do so to date, in particular because of the specific handling disadvantages of 2.3. compared to 2.1. u. 2.2., Can hardly be implemented sensibly, often simply because the already installed interfaces u.
