Product Description:
The Realist Cello acoustic transducer was designed by Ned Steinberger in association with David Gage. A primary design goal was to create a transducer that would work equally well for pizzicato and arco through commonly used amplifiers, without requiring a pre-amp or other active, battery powered gear. A flexible element fits under the bridge foot so that it picks up sound from both the bridge and top plate. Produces a rich and powerful response that is acoustically true for both pizzicato and arco without adjusting controls. No preamp necessary. Easy installation. Just plug it in.

Fishman C-100 Classic Series Cello Pickup Review

I needed a quick fix for live performance with my cello and this pickup was very affordable.Well, you get what you pay for.It works, but just barely.I had to run my cello through an EQ pedal to boost the signal, which got me there, but the recreation of the sound was a little off.The bass generally didn't resonate very well and I tended to have an issue with hum (a ground loop @ 60Hz that had to be eq'd out).I've since bought a Shadow SH 955 Nanoflex Pickup and haven't looked back.The Fishman gets the job done, but expect to have to boost your signal A LOT to use it live.I'm told the preamp Fishman sells as an accessory will solve all the problems I had, but for the cost of both of them you can get a Shadow pickup or another one of the competitors.
