Introduction
The double-bass bridge DB-1 was designed in co-opera-
tion with musicians on the stage and in the studio, for di-
rect sound take-off from a double-bass. The bridge offers
professional acoustic transmission quality and guar-
antees unrestricted freedom of movement on the stage,
since the constant alignment of the instrument to an ex-
ternal microphone is no longer necessary. Furthermore,
because tripods and adaptors are no longer need-
ed, the work involved in transport and in preparing the
stage is also reduced.
Operation
The double-bass bridge DB-1 is used like a normal bass
bridge. The transmitting system must be supplied with
universal phantom supply (9–25 V to DIN 45596),
either from the mixing console or by means of an ex-
ternal phantom supply device (AKG B18; B29 for DB-1
B-lock).
