stat contact mics and yellow preamps: a winning combination for acoustic performance
The Schertler STAT-PRO and STAT-ROAD sets, renowned for their exceptional sound quality, offer a unique solution for amplifying acoustic instruments, particularly bowed strings. At the heart of these sets lies the renowned YELLOW SINGLE (PRO) and YELLOW BLENDER (ROAD) preamplifiers, a testament to Swiss engineering and a cornerstone of the system's success.
The YELLOW are not just a preamp; they’re a sonic companion, meticulously designed to faithfully capture the nuances and subtleties of the instrument. Their transparent nature ensures that the amplified sound remains true to the instrument's inherent voice, preserving the delicate interplay of harmonics and dynamics that define its character. Pairing them with the STAT contact microphones is the perfect match.
Built with meticulous craftsmanship and robust components, the YELLOW preamps are not only sonically superior but also incredibly reliable, a crucial factor for musicians who rely on their equipment night after night.
Perhaps the most compelling aspect of the STAT-PRO and ROAD sets is their unparalleled portability. The compact YELLOW SINGLE or the feature richer YELLOW BLENDER can easily be tucked away within the instrument case itself, granting the musician complete control over their sound, thanks to the complete set of filters, 4 bands EQ and SEND/RETURN loop for the connection and control of external effects. This eliminates the need to lug around heavy amplifiers and cumbersome equipment, streamlining the setup process and minimizing the logistical burden. With just a single cable connecting the instrument to the PA system, the musician is ready to perform, ensuring a seamless and efficient workflow. However, the multiple output connections available, offer a wide range of routings to satisfy the most “geeky” of the rig enthusiast.
This level of portability empowers musicians with unprecedented freedom and flexibility. Whether performing in intimate clubs, grand concert halls, or outdoor festivals, the STAT-PRO and STAT-ROAD sets provide the sonic quality and convenience that professional musicians demand.
While offered in the set paired with Schertler STAT microphones, the YELLOW preamps’ multiple inputs allow for exceptional versatility, making them suitable for amplifying any microphone or instrument with pristine clarity and exceptional sonic fidelity.
