Schertler...as in 'shirt - ler'. I did get their magnetic pickup for steel string that has a condenser mic attached that points into the guitar box, and also a Schertler amp w/extension spkr specifically for acoustic instruments. I recently got 2 handpans, so am searching for a good contact mic. Thanks for the great review and set up procedures.
@@DavidUrbanHandpan so inside in the same zones, or on the bottom outside in the same zones all does just as well? Also, I guess you can buy more of the black putty stuff when you run out hey?
@@cosmicstuff44 I havent tested the bottoms yet. but inside, on the same place works perfectly and doesn't interfere with your hands. Also you don't really lose the black stuff, you can stick it back every time with no loss. If you lose it, you can always buy from from AKG
@@DavidUrbanHandpan thanks for the response. I also found these pickups designed for handpan online, will be ordering some, they're out of Germany. Not balanced XLR, using TRS or TS plugs, but it's like a guitar etc so should be fine. I'm thinking of putting two sets of three (they come on 1, 2, 3 configs) on my handpan for stereo and these also are magnetic, no putty required. It might even be that these in combination with something like the AKG C411 may be very nice. Check 'em out here... www.baurbrown.com/en/handpans-2/handpan-accessories/
Hey, amazing review and good advice. Went ahead and bought this mic, however like some other people here, and contact mics I've tried in general, I'm having a low frequency buzzing/humming noise. Been trying with Filters and EQ to fix it, but it eats away at some of the quality of the handpan sound. Any advice here? Also the microphone seems to pick up a lot of ambient sounds such as me snapping my fingers or clapping, which is a bit worrying since then in a loud environment such as a club, it would pick up massive feedback. Can you share some thoughts on this please?
I'm not sure what to do about the noise. For a fully acoustic setting maybe they aren't the best option. I used in a very noisy indoor setting, where traditional mics were impossible to use. So any noise would have gotten lost there anyway.
You can stick it on the dome (ding) but then they pick up much less. You can also stick it on the inside, but then you have to make sure you dont hit exactly where the pickups are, because it'll redline
@@DavidUrbanHandpan great, I will try marking their locations with a little 'X' using a white grease pen, and place the mics inside the instrument under the X's. Can find x's spot by tapping with finger.
There’s a few frequencies in the higher range that sound really harsh, was that the zoom clipping or is it the mics that are not ideal for some frequency ranges? I’m asking because I’m really interested in contact mics and would love to find some for a reasonable price
Great review man! im actually a handpan builder and searching something to record my creations. question, how much time recording do you get with this two phantom power turned on? thanks bro
To be honest, I think it may pick it up but it will be weak. Because in the case of the handpan, the entire metal resonates, while in a Rav or tonge drum, the majority of the vibration is done by the 'tongue' , the bit stat is disconnected from the rest of the instrument (except for 1 side out of 4).
David Urban thanks, I'm actually looking at getting some pickups for my rav now. Planning on doing something similar but I really need it to be as hi-fi and accurate sounding as possible.
I do, however I did have to get one the pickups serviced, because the wire came out of the part that you stick on the handpan. First time when they 'fixed' it, it didn't work at all. So I had to go back and make them re-fix it :) Soooo make sure you get it fixed at a proper place
I haven't tried it busking, but i'm sure it works just as well, as indoors. Since you don't get any wind noise or anything into it. its pretty much a closed system.Althoug you do lose some of the quality of the sound... and by quality I mean the magic of it. I mostly used it with reverb effect

Interesting how differently a contact mic picks up the sound compared to what an ordinary microphone does. Thanks for this well-made review.

In this short session, you are the best player I've heard on TH-cam.
gracias amigo
I'd love to hear this through a PA. That's where I'm having issues. Anybody take the plug out and put a dynamic inside???
What about the "Muling H1 Handpan Pickup Contact Mic", did you try it, hear about it? Great review thank you so much!
Very f*cking nice review MAN!
thanks MAN!
Excellent demo.thank you! I’ve a rav vast integral I want to mic up!
Did you experiment with sticking it at the bottom side or even the inside? It would solve the issues with striking and accidentally hitting it.
Great idea! I tried it and works perfectly from the inside as well :)

Can you stick the mics inside the dome of your instrument away from your palms?

Feedback issues with mic = use a 31 band eq and notch down those frequencies!!...
hi, can the adapter be disconnected?
What do you mean by adapter? Its all one piece. Nothing to disconnect

Get an ensoul pan pickup, theyre incredibly balanced and designed for the needs of real musicans
Great review man! im actually a handpan builder and searching something to record my creations. question, how much time recording do you get with this two phantom power turned on? thanks bro
the phantom powers are plugged in, so as much as you want.
Do you think this would be comparable to use with a rav vast?

David Urban thanks, I'm actually looking at getting some pickups for my rav now. Planning on doing something similar but I really need it to be as hi-fi and accurate sounding as possible.
then why not go for regular mics?
David Urban gotta be good for live, I'm a solo electronic musician
Amunraja - Joey Gage nadishana uses this same microphone on some of his ravs. He sticks it on the wooden plate on the back. Sound is crystal clear
Hi I just got one and started using it, but i am facing a big problem of buzzing/humming sound. Do you know how we can fix that?
I would check with their tech support. never had that issue
get an ensoul pan pickup, much better quality and gain
2 years later - do you use same setup ? and would you recommend it?
I do, however I did have to get one the pickups serviced, because the wire came out of the part that you stick on the handpan. First time when they 'fixed' it, it didn't work at all. So I had to go back and make them re-fix it :) Soooo make sure you get it fixed at a proper place
Hi David, do you think it would be useful with a classical guitar?
I think its orignally designed for acoustic guitars, so yes.
How does it work when busking?
I haven't tried it busking, but i'm sure it works just as well, as indoors. Since you don't get any wind noise or anything into it. its pretty much a closed system.Althoug you do lose some of the quality of the sound... and by quality I mean the magic of it. I mostly used it with reverb effect
Yes, the bag is to small!!...bad note there for AKG!!...
the baur and brown pickup may be better than this one
"Schertler"!!...
