The Radius mandolin pickup is a hi tech contact sensor that was designed to emulate the sound of a mic without the instability associated with microphones. The pickup installs easily to the instrument with mounting putty that is non destructive to its finish. Inside of the pickup’s housing is a highly flexible film sensor that responds much like a mic diaphragm. The sensor is held in equilibrium and damped by opposing neodymium magnets that allow the pickup to respond to the instruments most subtle nuances.
Loved tone but couldn’t keep it attached NOT impressed. As far as external mounting goes I get the impression not much care or thought went into creating the carpenter jack. When I would unplug the instrument cable the entire unit would slide off completely. Not a very good fit no matter how it was tightened down. I found a sweet spot for the sensor but since it was directly over the tone brace, that eliminated the possibility to mount this unit internally. The sound wasn’t bad but far from what I expected.
