Takamine EG522C Classical Acoustic Electric Guitar

Mon, 06 Jun 2011 14:07:04 +0000

This G Series Classical Acoustic/Electric features a cutaway body with a spruce top and nato back and sides. This nylon stringed guitar comes with a rosewood fingerboard, bridge and peghead face, gold tuning machines, classic mosaic rosette and the new Takamine TK-4N electronics. The TK-4N is a 3-band EQ with a mid-shift control, EQ bypass switch and a notch filter to dial out troublesome feedback. The G Series from Takamine has created great controversy. Play an affordable G Series guitar and you're apt to think it's one of the finest acoustic-electrics made. That's because it is. Actually, each one is made under the commanding rule of the luthiers who hand-craft the guitars of the pros. Which is precisely why the G Series feel so good, and sound so good. TAKAMINE TK4NT PREAMP FEATURES The Takamine TK-4N Preamplifier found on G-Series guitars features volume control, bass, middle and treble frequency slider controls, EQ bypass, a Notch Filter and a Mid Contour Switch. These last three features are described in greater detail below: EQ Bypass: This push button enables the user to engage or defeat the EQ section. When the switch is in the depressed position, the EQ is active. Return the switch to the 'up' position and the EQ circuit is bypassed. The bypass of the EQ circuit is desirable in some studio or live environments where external EQ is preferable. The user can also use this defeat switch to quickly check the results of the EQ adjustments relative to the original sound. Notch Filter: A Notch Filter is a very special kind of EQ, an extremely narrow and deep cut of an audio frequency band. The TK-4N has a 'tunable' notch filter which empowers the user to select the specific frequency band that will be affected by the notch. With this tunable notch filter the user can 'surgically' remove troublesome feedback frequencies that occur due to the natural resonances of the guitar and interaction with the environment. The notch control provides control of the center frequency of the notch effect. When the monitor or stage levels are too high, and the user hears the guitar starting to feed back, the player can engage the notch circuitry by pushing the 'In/Out' button under the 'Notch Filter' knob, and simply tune the filter (actually changing the center frequency of the notch) by slowly rotating the notch control until the feedback is eliminated. Mid Contour: By pushing (activating) the Mid Contour button, the user is selecting a pre-shape EQ that emphasizes the frequencies normally found to be 'desirable' in an acoustic guitar (400 Hz). With the Mid Contour button in the 400 Hz position (button depressed), the mid EQ is effectively controlling 'nasal' tone qualities while in the 800 Hz position (button out), the mid control can add punch in upper mids or help 'round off' the attack present in this frequency spectrum. The user should experiment with the button and the 'Middle' contro
