Zildjian

Our Task
Zildjian’s Gen16 system is an acoustic electric percussion instrument. Gyre9 was tasked with developing the integration and embodiment of a new sensor technology. The goal of the technology was to eliminate feedback and cross-talk inherent of the out-going microphone based system. Materials selected for the design of the DirectSource sensor and pre-amp were informed by Zildjian’s 400 year history of quality, precision and elegance.
