Barcus Berry 4000-BRB Planar Wave Piano and Harp Pickup System

Excellent condition. Only used a few times in my home studio. This contact mic and preamp package is a fun and interesting way to record piano and other sources. I also used it for sampling and field recording purposes. Works off battery or phantom power. Ships in original packaging.

Barcus-Berry Planar Wave Model 4000-XL Piezo Transducer & Preamp

A single Planar Wave System does the job that would otherwise take several microphones and a multi-channel mixer to achieve. Best yet, it attaches easily to either side of the soundboard without holes to drill or tools. Features include active direct box which includes a 9-volt battery or phantom power, 1/4" monitor output with variable level, balanced, XLR main out with ground lift and output pad switch (0db/-12db). 

Features & Benefits:
• Unique sensor technology reproduces full frequency range with perfect amplitude balance, superior feedback rejection, and complete isolation from ambient sounds even keyboard and pedal noise!
• Safely and easily attaches to either side of the soundboard without tools - or holes to drill!
• For grand pianos/pianos, it works better with it open a little, but it still works with it either open or closed.
• Features a 1/4" monitor output with variable level, XLR main out with ground lift and -12db output pad switch.
• Operable with either 9 Volt DC battery or phantom power.
