The Flight Voyager Tenor Electric Ukulele are built with factory setup for optimal playing comfort. If you're prone to arthritis, choose a low action model for easy playing, and be sure to purchase a humidifier to help preserve your instrument and its warranty. 

EQ vs piezo ukulele pickup (Flight Voyager Tenor Electric Ukulele)

Ukulele pickups don't come with built-in preamps, so the signal they produce is often too harsh or thin. This is usually caused by a mismatch in the pickup's impedance. According to Booli, a long-time guru of sound, a higher impedance means more power is lost to heat. Thankfully, there are a few easy ways to reduce the amount of noise a piezo ukulele can produce. Essentially, the pickup is the part of the ukulele that changes the pressure of the strings into an electrical signal. It sits at the bottom of the saddle slot, and the pressure of the strings press the saddle against the pickup. This in turn transfers the vibrations from the strings to the piezo transducer. One of the most popular types of ukulele pickup is the piezo. A piezo pickup converts sound vibrations directly into an electrical signal, making it more convenient for nylon stringed instruments. In order to install a piezo pickup, a soundboard transducer is usually attached to the soundboard. 

EQ vs passive piezo ukulele pickup

There are many different types of ukulele pickups, but the most common are piezo pickups. These pickups use a thin sheet of piezoelectric crystals to convert sound vibrations into an electrical signal. This signal can then be amplified to produce sound. Almost all ukuleles have one of these types of pickup installed, but some are more sensitive than others. When choosing a pickup, it is important to understand how passive and active pickups work. Both types produce sound, but passive pickups may have a background hum. They also add additional weight and wiring to the instrument. Additionally, passive pickups need a preamp box and a higher input volume than active ones. One of the best ways to decide which type is right for you is to compare the price. A cheaper instrument will have a passive piezo pickup. This type is ideal for those who do not want to pay a premium for an electric model. It is a perfect option if you're looking for a ukulele that's easy to play and doesn't cost a fortune. 

EQ vs active piezo ukulele pickup (Flight Voyager Tenor Electric Ukulele)

If you're looking to upgrade your ukulele's pickups, you should consider an active piezo pickup. Active piezo ukulele pickups use a small piezo crystal which picks up vibrations of the ukulele's body and then converts them into an electrical signal which can be amplified. Active piezo ukuleles are usually accompanied by a battery-powered preamp. In addition, active piezo ukulele pickups are more accurate. They have better sensitivity and can be used for a wide range of playing styles. They also have the advantage of allowing a guitarist to fine-tune the sound of their instrument. The biggest drawback of passive piezo ukulele pickups is their high output impedance. Most mixers and amplifiers are designed to work with line level impedance, but a ukulele's output impedance is typically a couple hundred or six hundred ohms. This means that an acoustic preamp must translate the ukulele's high impedance into a low-impedance signal. Once that's done, the ukulele can be permanently installed.
