This is a quality product from Fishman and lives up to their high end reputation. It looks good clamped in the sound hole but does not impede the sound of the instrument unplugged. It gives a very true sound reproduction, crisp and clear. I had it fitted to my Martin J40 by a local luthier - did not want to risk drilling the hole for the jackpin connection.

Natural, brilliant sound

Nico N., 31.10.2009

I've been using the Rare Earth Single Coil for almost 2 weeks now and have already tested it live. I am very satisfied with the sound. He is very natural and brilliant, without appearing bright. The sound is very balanced, with a soft bass, which I like personally but well.

What bothered me a little is the buzz, which is to be expected with a single coil however and also not particularly loudly fails. As for the processing I am satisfied, however, I must mention that I first received a defective device, which also had external defects in the processing. This was however immediately replaced me and the present works perfectly. Something a pity is also the lack of volume control, which would be an advantage in stage use (soli).

Overall, the Rare Earth Single Coil convinces me very much, especially because of the naturalness of the sound, which in my opinion is very special for a magnetic pickup. So I would recommend him without hesitation.
