K&K Mandolin Twin Internal
The Mandolin Twin Internal is a twin-head, retrofit mandolin transducer. It is a fully internal pickup system. Both the tranducers and the endpin-jack are mounted inside the mandolin. The transducers are attached with special super-thin and strong peel-and-stick tape. Installation of this system should be done by an experienced luthier or mandolin tech. If you are looking for a system that is easy to install by yourself please check out our Mandolin Twin Fusion system. The Mandolin Twin Internal reproduces the original mandolin tone with very natural tone quality and it is highly feedback resistant. It is used by high end Mandolin Builders like Clark Mandolins and by many professional players. Due to the internal mounted pickups, the Mandolin Twin Internal delivers even better sound than K&K’s previous model, the Mandolin Twin. Plus it doesn’t clutter up the outside of your instrument. With acoustic amps it works very well in passive mode. To connect it to a PA system we recommend a suitable preamp like the Pure Preamp or the Pure XLR Preamp. Technical Information: Cable length: 7 “; Pickup size: 16.5 x 23mm; Impedance: High ohmic; Jack: Stereo TRSS endpin jack 1/4” wired mono.

I love this pickup I love this pickup! WOW! I have been playing mandolin on and off for the last 10 years.

I would move a little and throw the mix off. Though a mic can sound really good I was never happy with the setup and in turn just didn’t play too much.I recently bought a Kentucky KM-750 and had this pickup put in…
Has a good sound.Installation was easier than I first thought it was going to be from YouTube videos.Did not even need to remove strings. Used a unibit (stepped bit) to drill the metal tailpiece out to 12mm then a 12mm drill bit to drill into the end block measured the block with a rigid wire. Set the nut for the block thickness. Fished the jack through the f holes. Fished the piezo pads with wire/hemostats. Put the sticky tape on the pads (two layers) used the included bent nail to…
I initially tried the Myers Grip with 3″ Gooseneck only to experience feedback. While those pickups (it’s actually a mic) sound very good and natural, feedback is something that may be an issue for some folks. When using the Myers in a setting where the user needs to be loud, there is a limit to the volume before feedback starts.If you are in need of a pickup system that allows the user to get loud, and sound very natural, the K&K is the one to get. I purchased the K&K…
