Artec Piezo Pickups are made by Piezoelectric material - Lead
Zirconate Titanate (PZT) - piezo ceramic that has shown exceptional
mechanical and electrical properties with very stable energy conversion
efficiency, good temperature stability and uniform sensitivity.
They are constructed by individual piezo ceramic sensors for each
string to improve string to string balance. Ceramics are coated
with the finest material, which supports piezo electric effects
and excellent frequency characteristics for deliver natural acoustic
sounds. Each piezo ceramic sensors sit on Contact board with the
suitable string pitch. The contact board is used as a '+' connector
because of it's high electric transmitting efficiency foil is used
for good shield against electronic interference and easy to be soldered.
Ceramic, Contact board and Foil can be firmly fixed together, as
the foil is highly extensible and easy for glue with high conductivity.
Case made from Bronze and Nickel can greatly transmit electricity
and is highly extensible. It works to make good shield and ground
connection. The case offers the most stable installation in a saddle
slot. TEFLON shielded Cable enhances the capability to endure
high and low temperature and works greatly for ground connection.
Special shielding alloy protects electric interference effectively.
It is also good insulator offers excellent conductivity and high
frequency characteristics.

PP pickup series PP pickup series has variety design for any
string instruments. Its solid construction provides wide range
of frequency response from the high frequency to low bass tone.
And also It provides the high output. All PP pickup series
models are available in PG pickup series.. |

|
PG pickup series PG pickup series has been specially designed
its construction that delivers soft, warm & rich sound than
our PP pickup series. Using Gold plated contact board and gold
plated plug that increase conductivity
and reliability. Another key point of our PG pickup series is
applying patent
pending design of connection metal
pipe between Teflon shielded
cable and gold plated plug that enhances the stability and easy
installation. It is also a good insulator provides virtually noiseless
acoustic sound

SF 'Solidflex' pickup series
SF
series 'SolidFlex' Transducer SF pickup series is newly designed
to accomplish both advantages, the flexibility of cable & film
type pickup, and the power of solid type piezo. Also this pickup
uses gold plated contact board and solid piezo like PG Series, and
special design of flexibility is applied to SF series. It reduces
buzzing sound caused by curved bottom of saddle or rough surface
of pickup cavity on the bridge of guitar. This new design can make
stable and clear sound.SF Series has the same output and impedance
as PP and PG series, so they fit all Artec EQ products. SF pickup
series is also applying the same cable and metal pipe jack as PG
pickup series.

PC85 Cable
piezo
pickup
Piezo cable
is an alternative form of piezo polymer sensor. Designed as a coax
cable, the piezo polymer is the "dielectric" between the
center core and the outer braid. When the piezo cable is compressed
or stretched by vibration of strings, a voltage of sound signal
is generated proportional to the stress.
- Flexibility The piezo cable pickup has no
buzz and contact problem under bottom of saddle.
- String Balance
Perfect string
balance. And it can applied for all case having no concern
with the number of strings and pitch.

Installation
tip
The piezo cable pick-up
installation is very simple and easy with any style of bridge. But
it can make contact problems if thru-hole is tight with piezo diameter.
It must carving hole side of enlarge the hole for the cable can
bend smoothly.
