HFN-S2 Artist Plus 2 Selmer/Maccaferri Pickup with with Artist II Endpin Jack Preamp and Two Channel Volume Control (Phantom Power Capable)

The HFN-S2 Artist pairs the HFN-S2 sensor with a phantom power capable two channel Artist II endpin jack preamp with twin volume controls. The pickup provides a full, rich sound and will reproduce exactly what your guitar sounds like; there is no coloration built into the preamp.  

Along with being simple to install, these pickups exhibit excellent feedback rejection and good string to string balance.  

This pickup's capability is enhanced by the endpin jack preamp which gives the pickup the ability to be plugged directly into a P.A. or mixer.

The HFN-S2 series of pickups utilises an elegant combination of materials: 3D printed ABS for its main structure and arching along with a light weight brass shell for its noise shielded piezo unit. Total weight of the pickup is a very light 0.2 ounces (7 grams). It will not affect the acoustic sound of the instrument when not in use.

The HFN-S2 will fit virtually all Selmer style braced guitars. The only hole that needs to be drilled is for the endpin jack.

The pickup is designed to allow it to flex and move along with the soundboard of the instrument. There is a certain amount of flex built into the arching of the pickup base and as well there is both some flex allowed and some isolation from the soundboard provided by the 3M VHB mounting tape.

Utilising a single piezo sensing element that comes into contact with the soundboard of the guitar through the 'hooks' of the pickup base allows for several things. First, the HFN-S2 is able to sample from more than one spot and to sample those spots across a span of time. Second, since we are able to do all this with just the one element, the chances of creating mechanical phasing issues caused by having to use more than one sensing element is eliminated.

HFN S2 Artist Installation Instructions


A Note about bracing

The S-2 series will fit virtually all Selmer style instruments on the market. The standard Selmer bracing has the two main transverse braces set at 1.9" apart, centre to centre and the bracing thickness averaging between 0.300" to 0.350". The HFN-S2 is designed to fit this set of standard design parameters.

The HFN-S2 is not designed to fit Favino style instruments when those instruments use a Favino brace spacing that puts the two main transverse braces 2.9" apart, center to center.

The HFN-S2 is not designed to fit MM series from Aria. The two main transverse braces on these instruments are approximately 2.56" apart.
