SCHERTLER DYN P48 Series contact microphones are high-quality transducers designed for 

professional applications. Suitable for use on a variety of instruments in both live/amplified and 

studio environments, these fully-balanced, active, dynamic contact microphones can be safely 

applied to even the most valuable of instruments using the special adhesive putty provided. 

The microphones can be quickly transferred between instruments during performances or recording 

sessions. Once in place, their lightweight design makes them unobtrusive to the performer. 

A balanced XLR connector enables direct connection to a microphone input on a mixing console, or 

a full range amplification system. (Note: these contact microphones require 22 to 48 VDC phantom 

power, with the exception of the passive DYN UNI.) The torsion-resistant, Kevlar-reinforced cable 

is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use while delivering best possible performance results. 

SCHERTLER DYN P48 Series microphones all feature built-in Class-A preamps and advanced filtering 

technology that enables an optimum frequency response to be obtained from each individual 

instrument.

To  make  the  most  of  your  microphone’s  capability  and  to  ensure  trouble-free  operation,  please 

r

ead this manual carefully

 before using the mic for the first time. We also advise keeping the 

manual for future reference.
