Obsessive innovation is in our DNA. Sometimes we learn so much from the development of a new product that we can’t help but continue working on new ideas long after the initial release, reducing things to their most essential elements and building them again just to find the smallest potential improvements—the pickup housing, the sensor itself, the best possible signal processing.

Building on the category-defying feedback resistance and unobtrusive installation of our HiFi pickups, the HiFi DNA System has even greater sensitivity and more advanced signal processing for dynamic realism, warmth, and tactile immediacy. Capture the true DNA of your tone.

  • Split all-discrete processing for bass and treble pickups
  • Flexible, lightweight sensors
  • Soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls
  • Simplified peel-and-stick installation
  • Includes mounting-jig for optimal placement
  • Requires professional installation

A Look Inside

The HiFi DNA system uses lightweight, color-coded sensors with split processing to capture and amplify the very DNA of your guitar’s tone.

Sensor Capture

Each resonating string sends a surge of energy directly into the bridge. The “Hi” and “Low” DNA sensors are carefully placed to capture the unique frequency response of the separate halves of the bridge plate.

Split Processing

Each half of the signal is processed separately to sculpt the frequency content with more precision than ever, before being combined into a single output.

01.

Split Signal Processing

Rather than running the sensors into a single input on the preamp, each HiFi DNA sensor employs a separate studio-grade preamp circuit to optimize each half of the signal before being mixed together. Separate preamps for the High and Low sensors optimizes and preserves the tonal purity of each sensor before they are combined into a single output.

02.

Next Generation Sensor

Each HiFi DNA Pickup uses a lighter, more flexible sensor that reproduces the breath of the guitar with even greater sensitivity. This added sensitivity lets the system capture more of the natural voice and dynamic range of your acoustic guitar.

03.

Non-Invasive Installation

With a truly peel-and-stick installation, our sensors don’t require any gluing, drilling, or other modifications to the bridge or saddle. This low-impact design means that you preserve the true tone of your guitar both plugged and unplugged.

HiFi DNA FAQs

HiFi DNA Reviews

“The DNA has a lot of presence and roundness that are super elusive in a non-miking system. I was skeptical going into it, because you like what you know—and I knew my Anthem and my Venue DI, my setup. But I’m always trying to get better and improve my sound, and the DNA does that.”
Kevin Griffin, Better Than Ezra
“Fingerpicking the HiFi DNA through the larger systems produced a warm, natural tone with just the right amount of presence, while strumming hard created a shimmering sound with no sign of breaking up and plenty of low end…I achieved a volume level far louder than I’d need with no hint of feedback through both the studio monitors and the PA system.”
Robi Johns, Gibson Acoustic
“This is the truest acoustic guitar sound I’ve ever heard from a pickup. It actually sounds like the guitar I’m playing.”
Marty Schwartz
“The difference I find in the HiFi DNA pickup compared to others is the intimacy of the sound, the coziness, you sound on stage like you do at home. It is better than any other acoustic pickups and I can’t wait to put them into all my acoustic guitars that I play onstage.”
Nico Bereciartua, The Black Crowes
“I do know it sounds great! One really cool thing from me is that it’s got a feedback resistance system built into it, so when I play with the Old 97’s, my super loud rock band, I’m able to get the same natural tone and quality that I would get at a solo gig… and also keeps out all the other noise coming in from the band. It’s a great system. I’m a big fan. I love it.”
Rhett Miller, Old 97’s
“Recording with these new Gibson acoustics opened an entirely new frontier of sound for me. The clarity and balance of the tonewoods are fully realized, delivering remarkable transparency and allowing the unique sonic character of each guitar to shine through effortlessly.”
Luis Fernando Ochoa, Producer & Songwriter (Shakira, Ricky Martin, Bacilos)
