Accusound was originally started up in 1985 with an ethos to produce microphones for acoustic instruments which could be retro-fitted to most instrument types, i.e. fitted after the instrument was finished and had been used for many years, as opposed to being built-in during manufacture. Over the years our experts have developed various kinds of mountings and pick-up systems that are still in use today. There have been significant changes and advancements in technologies in recent years and many of these have been incorporated in the systems available today. All of our manufacturing is done entirely within the United Kingdom so that all parts are easily available as spares and many of our products may be repaired rather than discarded when a fault occurs. Accusound has increased the product range for most instruments giving the user several choices for their instrument. When you come to choose a microphone we will allow you to take all the products available or suitable for your instrument for a trial period, usually two weeks but please enquire if longer is required. We believe that you can only truly choose a microphone when you have tried it on your instrument in the atmosphere in which you will use it. If you prefer to hire the equipment rather than purchase it, we offer most of our range for hire. We ask for a minimum of 2 days hire but if you choose to purchase after the hire period we allow the hire charge against your purchase.
