CH-1 Harp Pickup For Small Harps
The CH-1 is designed for use on smaller bodied Celtic harps having 28 strings or less. It provides a very simple solution to the problem of quickly and easily adding a pickup to a harp.
The pickup sensor simply sticks to the soundboard next to the string strip, while the output jack assembly has a clip on its' back that allows it to easily clip to the edge of any sound port of the back of the harp.
The CH-1 can easily be moved from one harp to another - so one pickup can be used on more than one harp.
The passive CH-1 works perfectly well and sounds good when plugged straight into any decent quality amp. As with any pickup, the sound can be further enhanced with an outboard preamp. Note that a preamp will be needed for use when plugged directly into a mixer or P.A. system.

The CH-1 pickup sensor is designed to be installed approximately one-third of the way up from the bass end of the soundboard.
Installation of the sensor is quite simple. The transducer unit adheres to the soundboard with the special mounting putty. This putty provides a solid and secure mounting for the pickup but still allows for quick and easy removal of the system.
The mounting of the output jack is equally easy as the output jack assembly simply clips safely and securely to virtually any sound port opening.
Up to 18 inches of the lead wire from the pickup sensor to the output jack stores right inside the jack assembly box keeping everything neat and tidy.
Total installation time is normally a couple of minutes at the most. It's that easy.
