Thanks for covering this Aaron. I bought a HiFi for my non-electrified Taylor and I’m really happy with it. Easy to install and is one of the best pickups for what I do that I’ve tried. This one sounds even better!

Oh man, Hifi Duet sounds great in all settings. I really like that 100% mic blend is a bit much live because it probably wont be too much for recording direct. Thanks Aaron!

Nice job getting the info to all of us Aaron. Seems like this may be an upgrade over the Anthem given the fact that the Silo mic is much more mature and evolved over the TruMic in the Anthem. Very cool. Also good to know that the mix wheel never fully dials out the HiFi soundboard transducers. It's always going to represent some degree of blend between the two. Good to know!

I played them back to back. I still think the Anthem sounds ‘tighter’ and will have its place in some guitars/rooms. For those that want a more natural sound with nothing under the saddle the HiFi Duet could be a great option.

Hey Aaron. It was great hanging out with you for a little bit at Namm. I didn't get the chance to tell you but I really did like the setting you suggested for me to try on the new hifi duet system. It was the best blend. I also liked the Silo with a pinch/barely on at like 15% or 20%. Sounded very natural.

@@tleek Yeah I get it. At the time, it was the most promising non-invasive PU on the market and the price was right. I have to take comfort that I got my value. Yet I would gladly have paid more to get the dual source HiFi pickup with the Silo mic. I will probably go that route when it's available.

Just installed the Hifi and I really like the non-invasive installation and the natural sound. When clicked at this I thought YES!! Give me that!, but my gosh, why did you kill the EQ/Tone-Control? Add it before shipping, PLEASE! I don't care if I have to reach for it in the guitar like that little black wheel. For my Hifi it is set and forget most of the time anyway, but we need this...

@aaronshortmusic
@aaronshortmusic 10 ай бұрын
I’ve only had the adhesive fail once and it was because there had been a system installed previously. Once the area was sanded and cleaned correctly it was fine. Also be sure to hold the piece in place long enough when installing so that it sticks well. I have had other brands systems come loose but I just had to replace the adhesive pads and you can also apply a very small amount of glue if it’s really necessary but you shouldn’t need to if the area is completely clean and you hold the piece in place long enough when applying it.

I never use the battery pouches. I just put a duel lock velcro strip in the same place the velcro the pouch. I then add a small piece of duel lock on the 9 volt. No battery drops yet! It does mean you need to keep some duel lock on hand for battery swaps.

Hi Aaron! I noticed a noise when he mixed 50/50 and 100% microphone. Several pedals on the floor but no DI?
@aaronshortmusic
@aaronshortmusic 8 ай бұрын
What kind of noise? I tested it with in ear monitors and there was no noise. Also they plugged into a Baggs Synapse so they didn’t need a DI and many of the pedals on the board were buffering the signal.

@aaronshortmusic

No one knows yet but my feeling right now is that the SL will be a little ‘tighter’ sounding and a little less prone to feedback. The Duet should have more air and be a little more natural. We have to wait for the finished product to ship.
