Mi-Si introduces Magpie Air - a hybrid approach combining the benefits of the award-winning, single coil active magnetic pickup and the new high-performance MEMS microphone into an extremely light and compact system.
The Magpie Air is an active hybrid soundhole pickup and high performance "mems" microphone with two separate volume controls, rechargeable preamp and Mi-Si power charger. No batteries needed. A 60 second charge allows for up to 8 hours of performance. This is a magnetic "planar" single coil pickup and "mems" microphone, designed to minimize hum while providing a broad frequency response. Black housing, easily clamps in soundhole, mini-jack in pickup allows you to use a patch cord externally or easily connect internally to a 1/4" strap button jack harness (included). Pickup measures 3" across between the clamps, so soundhole needs to be a tad bigger than 3" diameter in order to install it.
