The Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor System is simply the most accurate acoustic sound reproduction method available on the market today. Whether into an amp or into the board, the Tone Hound does not color or filter the sound like other systems so that you won't end up sounding like everyone else. Your music is unique so why not your sound? With the Tone Hound there are no limits. Whether a violin, a classical / acoustic guitar or an acoustic bass, your personal instrument sounds like your personal instrument. You can create the sound you want because you are in control.

  • What makes a Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor better than any other pickup system?
    •  
    The Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor utilizes a matched harmonic displacement system. Whatever frequency you put in, is what gets amplified. Their are no alterations to the fundamental frequency or it's respective harmonics.

    Some of the other pickup systems require you to successfully mix additional transducers with their piezo pickup, such as microphones, extra piezos, or magnetics, etc. This usually causes phase shift problems that make it impossible to dial in your desired tone. Now you can leave all that extra expense and hassle behind, because a Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor is all that is required to obtain the completely balanced tonal reproduction of your instrument.

  • Why not buy the competition?

    • All piezo pickup systems, with the exception of the Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor, have a distinct disadvantage over other transducers such as microphones. Their low end frequency response is weak, while their midrange is excessive. These systems have become outdated because they still have not been able to overcome the usual problematic roll off of frequency, below 1k Hz, that occurs with other piezo-electric sensors. Although EQ systems are adequate for enhancing tonal coloring, they cannot substitute for the loss of natural frequency response that is missing, by adding what is not normally there. Once a tone color has been altered beyond it inception, it can never return to it's original tonal color, therefore equalization is an inadequate methodology for natural sound reproduction.

  •  How is the Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor different?

    • The Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor has been designed to pickup an instruments full range of frequencies without any hint of equalization. This gives control to the player, so he does not have to settle for a tonal reproduction that sounded good to the ear of the preamp designer. With the Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor, what you hear acoustically is what you get from the sensor.
     

  • The Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor Advantage

    • Utilizing the newest breakthroughs in the Aerospace Industry, Erickson Design Associates designed these technologically advanced Tone Hound Acoustic Sensors to be capable of providing a flat linear response from 2 Hz to 50K Hz. at 0db down and they have been perfectly matched to their own high quality instrumentation preamplifier. Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor Systems simply reproduce the true sound of the instrument without any loss of it's natural tonal response.
