Using advanced Digital Signal Processing and real-world insight into audio technology and
recording techniques, Yamaha have developed SRT – a pickup and preamp system capable of
delivering an amazingly natural, studio-quality acoustic guitar tone. Sounds that were, until now,
only attainable by professional recording engineers using expensive vintage microphones in
world-class acoustic spaces are now easily recreated by any player, on stage or in the studio.
SRT does not artificially create a guitar tone, rather it creates a faithful reproduction of the
other elements that make up a great guitar sound – the subtle ambience of the real space
between instrument and microphone, the characteristic EQ voicing of a great sounding vintage
mic, the different resonances captured when you move a mic around a guitar.And because SRT
uses your guitar’s natural tone as a basis for this process, the result is phenomenally realistic
and full of the acoustic character of your guitar.
