The Double Bass Pickup:

The Vektor Kontramike is 100% compatible with all Schertler-Electronics

The Vektor™ Kontramike picks up the vibrations directly from the top of the bass and not only from the bridge. It is a contact microphone which transduces much more the body sound and not the string sound like many piezo pickups do. Therefore the amplified sound is far more natural. A change of the amp setup while switching from arco- to pizz-mode is unneccassary.

Mounting is easy and quickly done. By turning the fixation screw. which keeps the microphone capsule inside, the pickup is fixed and adjusted. Best results are reported from the position in the middle of the bridge between the feet. An impact on the acoustic sound is not worth mentioning

The pickup needs 9V phantom power which can either be supplied by a specific amplifieror or pre-amp with phantom power and suitable DI-boxes.
