The Hot SoundSpot is for instruments with a strong attack and fast decay. It is perfect for Congas, Glass Harp, Hand Drums and Mandolin. There is even a specialized version for Cymbals.

Not only does Seymour Duncan make guitar pickups and pedals but they also have developed a whole line of transducers that faithfully replicate the sounds of many instruments, including cello, banjo, acoustic bass, oud, mandolin, steel guitar, and even the human voice. This article will introduce you to the the pickups for those other instruments, which, until now, did not have a faithful way of making them much, much louder.

A transducer is a device that converts one type of energy into another. A conventional electric guitar pickup is a transducer, transforming changes in a magnetic field into an electrical current. A microphone is also a transducer, as it senses air pressure on a tiny membrane, also producing an electrical current. While some instruments like cello and upright bass have been amplified for years using microphones, sometimes using microphones is not practical. Microphones that are used to listen to these instruments are often sensitive and fragile, and might not be the right choice on a stage full of other instruments or loud amps. Lots of open mics onstage make a band hard to mix, and limit the movements of the performer. The right tool for the job in these cases are specialty transducers to hear those sounds at the source.

SoundSpots are ultra-sensitive specialized transducers designed to amplify many types of instruments that never had dedicated pickups. These natural and warm-sounding pickups are ground to thin tolerances creating a very thin and sensitive surface capable of sensing every facet of your performance. There are specialized SoundSpots for many instruments, including many that have never had specialized pickups until now.
