Helpful Information About Schertler Products

By Carmella Watts


Schertler is a Swiss company started in the early 1980s that is well known for making special microphones used on bowed string instruments. They have a full product line that includes electronic tuners, acoustic guitars, amplifiers, and much more. A microphone that is attached to an instrument to boost its volume is referred to as a pickup. The company has invented innovated technology in this field.

The audio effect of an electric guitar is produced with a magnetic coil pickup. This pickup is essentially a microphone built-in underneath the guitar strings to boost the volume. Rock and country guitar styles often have the guitar played with distortion and other audio modifications. Many guitarists who play rock, metal, punk and country styles use effect pedals and other devices to get different sounds. Anyone who listens to popular music on the radio will recognize these common guitar effects.

Often a folk guitar, which is often called an acoustic guitar to distinguish it from an electric guitar, needs to be louder so that the audience can hear it. A different type of pickup will be manually attached to the guitar for this purpose. Traditionally, this type of pickup uses a piezoelectric or crystal transducer to increase the loudness of the instrument.

It helps that a musician, a string bass player, started the company. The company has invested their capital in inventing a new musical instrument sound amplification technology. In doing so, they hold several patents for boosting the volume of bowed string instruments. Air chamber technology is another patent they hold.

They are focused on the sound desired for many different musical genres, including classical, folk, and sophisticated jazz styles. The mission of this enterprise is to give musicians the tools to create acoustics of great beauty in challenging sonic environments. To accomplish this mission, a new technology needed to be invented.

Another part of the product line is wireless amplification. With wireless technology no cumbersome, tangled wires or cables are required. Instead, the signal is sent from a radio transmitter. Recently, the company has began making a line of acoustic guitars in collaboration with another musical instrument manufacturer. They also make accessories, amplifiers, and much more.

Famous classical, folk and jazz recording artists, symphony orchestras, and chamber ensemble use their equipment for concerts, radio broadcasts, recording, and sound amplification. This innovative company has set a high standard for this type of sound enhancement equipment.
