Type: piezo
Mode: active
Preamp: incl.
similar to the Wilson pickup, but mounted to the bridge leg; comes with preamp built into the jack.
The preamp is rechargeable within seconds and doesn’t need a battery permanently.
type: piezoceramic
mode: passive
preamp: –
Piezo embedded in Italian spruce; mounted to the bridge wing.
Magnetic
Type: magentic
Mode: passive
Preamp: –
XLR outuput (cannon), impedance 600 ohms, humbucker 4 coil (1 coil for string), split – structure of 2 units for easy balancing of the strings, weight 50 g
type: condenser microphone
preamp: incl. phantom power supply
Another new interpretation of the old Ampeg design from the 1940ies. A small microphone is mounted on top of the ULSA tube endpin, so the microphone captures the sound from the inside of the bass. Comes with phantom power supply.

TM Billy Special
Type: piezo
Preamp: optional
A pickup with two sensors: a bridge wing slot mounted one, and one for the fingerboard (slap). The jack is a stereo jack, so you can use the signal of each sensor individually with an optional two channel preamp.
TM Tone Master, Two Tone
Type: piezo
Preamp: optional
With one (Tone Master) or two (Two Tone) bridge wing slot sensors.
Radial PZ DI
Type: DI box, Buffer
Features: Adjustable load for piezo and magnetic pickups, variable low-cut filter to control bass resonance, 48V phantom powered (does not require batteries), 180° polarity reverse switch, Ground lift
The Radial PZ-DI is a direct box that is specifically designed for acoustic and orchestral instruments. Unlike most direct boxes that are limited to a ‘one size fits all’ design, the PZ-DI lets you properly match the input impedance to the source to optimize the frequency response and dynamics.

This pickup gets permanently installed into the bass bar side bridge foot. For installation, the leg gets cut off and the piezo inlayed into the wood – this needs a qualified luthier.
What looks like a preamp on the photo is a small passive (no batteries!) EQ unit that gets mounted to the tailpiece. This tone filter cuts off high frequencies and offers 4 presets (2 switches), suited for arco and pizziciato.
