Detail 01
Mic range 250Hz–20kHz
The mic contributes mids and highs only. Everything below 250Hz comes from the piezo, which is why they're blended.

1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A blended microphone and piezo pickup system for acoustic guitar. For gigging players who want more air and body than a piezo alone gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage players chasing a natural miked sound at volume
- Recording acoustic where a bare piezo sounds too brittle
- Fingerstyle players who want top and body detail captured
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Very loud stages where a mic element invites feedback
- Players who want a drop-in install with no saddle work
- Anyone happy with the piezo they already have
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Piezo .038 in. thick
Fits a standard saddle slot, but slot depth and saddle height usually need checking so action doesn't rise.
Detail 03
3.4 in. active sensor length
Covers full six-string spacing at the saddle, so no string sits off the sensing area and drops in level.
Detail 04
Single 9V, 170 hr. battery life
Roughly a season of weekly gigs. Track hours rather than waiting for the sound to die mid-set.
Detail 05
Tru-Mic 0.5 oz., 2.27 x .735 x .48 in.
Small and light enough to mount inside the body without noticeably damping the top.
Detail 06
.092 in. pickup width
Matches common saddle slot widths, though narrow or wide slots on some guitars need measuring first.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your saddle slot width and depth before ordering — .092 x .038 in.
- 02Install means routing for the jack and mounting inside; use a tech
- 03A fresh 9V and a cable are on you
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will the microphone feed back on a loud stage?
Any mic element can. The piezo carries the low end, which helps, but on very loud stages you'll be riding the blend toward the pickup.
02How long does the battery last?
170 hours from a single 9V. Roughly 40 four-hour gigs, but replace it early rather than mid-show.
03Will it fit my guitar's saddle slot?
The pickup is .092 in. wide and .038 in. thick. Measure your slot first; nonstandard slots need a tech's assessment.
04Why pay more than a plain piezo system?
The added Tru-Mic covers 250Hz–20kHz, filling in the mids and highs a saddle piezo alone tends to render thin or brittle.
