Flagship - Sounds you never thought possible With this new and groundbreaking Class A preamp your music has never sounded better. Clear smooth highs, soulful mids and bodacious bass combined with an impressive dynamic range of 115dB will lead your inspiration to new levels.With a true bandwidth of 1Hz to 20kHz at +/- 0 dB our state-of-the-art FlagShip circuitry provides unprecedented signal fidelity along with exceptional operational convenience.And because of FlagShip‘s leading-edge Rail to Rail technology a single 9V alcaline battery will provide you with 1.000+ hours of play time.Enjoy a self-sensing circuitry automatically switching in mono- or stereo-operation respectively by sensing which kind of chord you plugged in. In addition the FlagShip preamp offers an ultra-silent operation with a signal to noise-ratio of -115dB and a noise floor of just 20 dBV while Schaller‘s own FlagShip gold-contact 5-way Megaswitch lets you choose from a vast variety of piezo and magnetic switching-options and –combinations never seen in any preamp before.SoundInnovationPerformance Suitable for all piezo-pickup systems plug & play solderfree connections5-Way Megaswitch Switching Options in Mono- and in Stereo-Mode:Mono and stereo positions 2 through 5 feature identical controls and functions allowing for a transparent layout and easy handling.

The Flagship preamp senses whether a mono 1/4“ or a stereo 1/4“ plug is inserted and switches into the appropriate mode automatically. Not only does this prevent misuse so commonly known from mono/stereo toggle switches. It also allows for just one output jack (see stereo jack enclosed) in your guitar to operate the Flagship to its fullest potential.In mono mode the sound of the magnetic pickups is mixed with the sound of the piezo pickups within the preamp. We recommend using a regular 1/4“ plug guitar cable. Please refer to the Flagship manual for all dedicated sound options in this mode.In stereo mode the sound of the magnetic pickups and the sound of the piezo pickups are sent seperately to the stereo output jack. Please refer to the Flagship manual for all dedicated sound options in this mode.We recommend two ways for routing the signals:1. Using a stereo cable with two 1/4“ plugs for routing the magnetic and piezo signal seperately to a mixing console’s stereo input.2. Using a Y-cable with two 1/4“ mono plugs and one 1/4“ stereo plug for splitting your signal between a guitar amp for the magnetic pickups and a PA or acoustic amp for the piezo signal.The stereo and mono plugs should be connected as follows:Tip of stereo plug goes to tip of mono plug left.Ring of stereo plug goes to tip of mono plug right.Sleeve of stereo plug goes to sleeve of mono plug left.Sleeve of stereo plug goes to sleeve of mono plug right.Please note that by connecting the grounds of two amps or an amp with a PA a low-frequency ground hum may occur. This is an inherent problem caused by ground loops and in no way a fault within the Flagship preamp.

Schaller’s patented Oyster pickups offer a natural and powerful reproduction of the instrument sound without active circuits or preamps. The excellent sound result is achieved by a perfect interaction of diaphragm, piezo element and plastic contact gel. All Oyster models are fixed with a dual-sided adhesive foil or alternatively with a removable gluing pad that won't damage the instrument's top. 10/84 has the same technical details as the 10/82 and 10/83, but designed for a visible, external installation on the instrument. Therefore equipped with a rugged, chrome-plated housing. Supplied with a 3.2 m (10ft) lead with ¼" jack plug.

The 10/83 is effectively the dual version of the 10/82 - also with a jack socket, but with two pickups. Like the 10/82 it is also designed for internal installation. According to the instrument, the pickups can be mounted in the best possible locations, which allows a perfect pick-up of the lows and at the same time an optimal reproduction of the high frequencies, e.g. on the inside at the bridge and on the side or the bottom of the instrument - depending on how much bass and treble you want.

SOHO Soundhole Pickups (Magnetic type) are perfect for giving your sound natural acoustic tone. ST series are very easy to mount and sense the vibrations of bridge and body excellently. Features: Standard Single Coil Pickup Height Adjustable 1/4" (6.35mm) Jack Socket Volume Control
