Musical instrument pickup, correspondingly equipped system, and use of an automotive audio bus (A2B) for same

A musical instrument pickup (1) comprising sensors (S1 S5) for arrangement on or in a musical instrument and a digital audio-bus-interface (ABS), wherein:

• at least a first of the sensors (S1 S5) is designed as an airborne sound-sensors (S1 S3) in order to convert airborne sound detected by that sensor into electric signals;
• at least a second of the sensors (S1 S5) is designed as a piezoelectric-sensor (S5) in order to convert pressure and/or mechanical stress into electric signals;
• at least a third of the sensors (S1-S5) is a structure-borne sound-sensor (S4) designed to detect and convert structure-borne sound into electric signals;
• and
• the digital audio-bus-interface (ABS) comprises a connector (A1) with only two contact poles (P1, P2) is designed to both establish a multi-channel digital data connection for transmitting the electric signals of the sensors (S1 S5) and to supply an electric current to at least parts of the musical instrument pickup (1) via a connection cable (K) in the form of an unshielded or shielded two-wire line, wherein the connector (A1) is connected to an audio-bus-transceiver (ABT1) and is or comprises a jack socket.
