A diagonal-cut capacitive pick-up (PU) was optimised for monitoring slow (v < 0.025c), long (~1 m) bunches consisting of only about 10⁶ antiprotons at the future Ultra-low energy Storage Ring (USR). Ultra-low noise (0.5 nV/Hz⁰.5) FET pre-amplifiers are used to allow detection of the weak signals generated in the PU plates. The amplified signals are then digitized by a 16-bit, 200 MS/s ADC and processed in a digital manner. The following contribution presents the beam monitoring system as it was tested with a stretched-wire method and compares the measurements with the results from 3D electromagnetic simulations.
