SRT2 Electronics

SRT2 is a new pickup system developed independently by Yamaha, and optimised for stage performance. From a piezo sound that cut through when in a mix to a warm, pure acoustic sound that is like recorded by using the vintage microphone in the recording studio, SRT2 allows you to reproduce a sound that you can really use on stage. With SRT2 you can mix these two sounds to attain the exact balance you want to achieve a distinctive tone.

What's more, the ability to select from two different mic types lets you choose the optimal sound for your playing style and for the song you are performing.
