Since its foundation in the early 1980s, SCHERTLER has embarked on a passionate programme of research that aims to achieve the highest levels of fidelity in the reproduction of acoustic stringed instruments. Led by double bass player Stephan Schertler, the company’s research and development initially focussed on providing a series of high quality alternatives to outdated and imperfect piezoelectric technology. Over the years, Schertler’s original approach to harnessing acoustic vibrations has led to the development of several international patents, including the STAT electrostatic bridge pickup technology found in the classic range of sensors for bowed instruments. Other developments have included Schertler’s unique “air chamber” Stephan Schertler technology, an integral feature of the Lydia guitar sensor range. Alongside its comprehensive range of instrument sensors, Schertler has developed a whole series of high quality, compact acoustic amplification systems. Adaptable to all acoustic instruments and genres, the amplifiers combine pristine sound quality with a wealth of features designed to meet exacting performance requirements. With the need for flexibility in mind, Schertler has also extended its product range to include wireless systems, high quality preamplifiers and DIs, plus a variety of accessories. More recently, a unique collaboration between Stephan Schertler and Claudio Pagelli resulted in the birth of SCHERTLER GUITARS and the creation of a smaller sized electro-acoustic guitar for the stage, equipped with a reference quality pickup system.

This has been further evidenced in 2012 by the addition of the new LAFARO double bass amplifier. Dedicated to one of the best-sounding bassists in jazz history, LAFARO represents the culmination of years of research into the challenges of successfully amplifying the sound of this complex instrument. 2012 has also seen the former SR Technology range of compact JAM amplifiers re-branded by Schertler, providing customers with an additional series of cost-effective, all-round sound reinforcement options. Schertler amplifiers are complemented by a range of loudspeakers including the Classic SIDE that functions as a stand-alone active system, or as an extension to UNICO. Schertler’s BASS system provides a subwoofer that can be used to great effect with either DAVID or UNICO. It also provides the foundation for a compact PA system in conjunction with two SIDE units. The JAM series offers similar possibilities, with the JAM150 Extension expanding the compact JAM 150 amplifier to a highly effective 300W system. Schertler’s high quality preamp series includes the flagship Yellow Blender and its new Yellow Single sibling. These user-friendly, lightweight yet robust preamps are designed for use with a variety of instruments. Every section from input to output has been specially engineered to ensure maximum potential from any type of sound source. Schertler’s STAT-PRE and A-PRE preamps continue to provide musicians with high quality solutions that are tailored for use with STAT-SET sensors and the A-DYN universal contact microphone. “..

Now, LAFARO represents another milestone in Stephan Schertler’s quest to provide the international bass playing community with an amplification system that reproduces the true sound of this complex instrument. Dedicated to jazz bass legend Scott LaFaro, this new amplifier combines many of the high quality features found in Schertler’s Deluxe series with some unique functionality to produce an extraordinarily natural and musical reproduction of the instrument. Any microphone source can be connected to LAFARO’s 2-channel CLASS-A preamp. The amplifier is equipped with 3 DI outputs, one for each channel and one for the Master section. A traditional, transformer-driven 280-Watt power amp moves a specially developed 8” woofer with record-breaking linear extension to provide strong, clear low frequencies and a natural sounding mid range. A tweeter, powered with 80 Watts, is designed to smooth out uncompressed harmonics – important for any stringed instrument, not least the double bass. An effect loop and other high-end features guarantee unparalleled professional versatility and quality. In addition to its primary application as an acoustic bass amplifier, LAFARO sounds great as a rehearsal or recording amplifier for electric bass. It can also be successfully used with ‘cello when strong amplification is needed. LAFARO is not cheap, nor is it lightweight. But there’s no compromise on sound quality and we believe that it offers the most musical and natural amplification possible, particularly when used with Schertler STAT-B or DYN-B pickups.

SCHERTLER GUITARS INTRODUCTION Schertler guitars are the result of a unique collaboration between Stephan Schertler and Claudio Pagelli, a Swiss guitar maker of international repute. Schertler and Pagelli’s vision of creating a smaller sized electro-acoustic guitar for the stage, armed with a reference quality pickup system, has culminated in the current series of instruments with their elegant shape, unbeatable playability and world-class stage sound. Four nylon and steel string models are available, their backs and sides beautifully crafted from a range of quality woods - Indian Rosewood, Bubinga and Mahogany. The tops are all made from Swiss Alpine Spruce moon cut wood (said to exhibit outstanding and unique characteristics when felled during certain lunar phases). Attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of the instruments’ construction, from their flat profile ebony fingerboards and solid bridges, to their elegant rosewood and maple bindings, bone carved saddles and nuts, original Schertler machine heads and timeless ebony knobs. The natural, high quality sound of each guitar is accurately reproduced by Schertler’s DUAL on-board system. DUAL combines the LYDIA electrostatic under-saddle pickup with an electrodynamic contact microphone (based on Schertler’s DYN technology) mounted to the top. Sound from the two sensors can be blended to create a range of options from natural acoustic to edgier tones that will cut through on a loud rock stage. The control circuitry uses discrete CLASS-A technology with 27 transistors – never before seen in guitar electronics! A standard 9V battery will provide over 200 hours of playing time. “When I play this guitar on stage I feel like I can express my music without limits” Ibrica Jusic “My Schertler SP is a great stage guitar with good playability and feels good while playing” Dario Fornara PRESS “... It sounds so amazing, especially considering the size of the body. The SP has a large volume and an excellent dynamic. It has a good balance and definition of the entire sound spectrum.
