Diaphragm microphone
k n o w n f o r i t s w i d e
frequency range and dy-
namic response. Good for

string and body reso-
nance clearly to deliver
a fat, expansive sound
and excellent projection.
WIDE:
On Mic combined with
Off Mic setting (mic posi-
tioned a few meters away
from the guitar). Close

Select from models of three microphones most-favored by recording en-
gineers around the world. (Mic models are created using data collected
from these microphones.)
Choose miking positions close or far.
The RESONANCE knob allows you to add body resonance to the sound,
emphasising the natural tone of the guitar.
* The RESONANCE control is only effective on the mic sound.
Blend piezo pickup and microphone sources to create a wide palette
of tonal variations. Blending the sound from the piezo pickup with the
sound from the built-in mic adds sharpness.

Keep Feedback Under Control
These instruments incorporate Yamaha’s original
A.F.R. (Auto Feedback Reduction), which automati-
cally detects the frequency causing the feedback
and applies a notch filter to suppress the problem
frequency. When feedback occurs, simply switch the
A.F.R. button ON. Up to five filters can be applied.

When professional guitarists want to record real acoustic guitar tone,
they’ll record the guitar with a microphone. That holds true for guitarists
who prefer using electric-acoustics on stage as well. Electric-acoustics are
very effective in live situations due to their ability to adjust sound and
balance volume with the other instruments in the band. But the sound
that electric-acoustics deliver is merely the amplified sound from a pick-
up attached to the bridge or the top, and lacks true acoustic resonance
and ambiance. True acoustic guitar tone that you hear on recordings only
exists in the recording studio where experienced sound engineers have
the means to capture that sound.
Yamaha’s new SRT system lets you create that same studio recorded sound.
The system lets you choose from three different high-end mic types as well
as mic positioning. It also lets you obtain more detailed sound by blending
the sound with that from the piezo pickup and adjusting resonance.
The SRT series brings studio quality acoustic guitar sound to the stage that
will amaze your audiences.
