Mi-Si’s latest breakthrough in acoustic amplification, the CUTLESS 

System is an innovative analog signal processing unit with digital 

wireless remote control. 

The  CUTLESS  eliminates  the  need  to  cut  a  hole  in  your  prized 

instrument. Volume, Bass, Mid-Range, Treble, Brilliance, and Phase 

are controlled by wireless remote control outside the instrument 

at your fingertips. 

The analog Preamp is incorporated into the instrument’s endpin 

jack.  The  CUTLESS  utilizes  Mi-Si’s  custom  piezo  linearization 

scheme allowing for the most truthful and accurate sound from 

the pickup. 

The CUTLESS Remote can be paired exclusively with the preamp. 

Because  a  standard  instrument  cable  is  used  to  connect  the 

Preamp to external equipment, no noise, RF interference or drop-

offs will affect signal quality.  

Like all Mi-Si products, the CUTLESS Preamp is battery-free. Power 

up  the  CUTLESS  for  120  seconds  and  enjoy  up  to  4  hours  of 

performance time.
