What makes the Pure XLR Mach 2 Preamp sound so good? The circuit runs on a “voltage doubler” that provides 18 volts to the internal components even though it uses standard 9 volt input voltage. The result is high-powered clarity that simply cannot be achieved with a regular 9-volt circuit! Electronic circuits work more efficient on higher power and electronic components designed for low power consumption will never sound as good as the more power-hungry components that are optimized for tone quality. There is a direct relation between power consumption and sound quality, meaning that preamps with 200+ hours battery life will compromise on sound quality. Phantom powered preamps, depending on their complexity, also need to compromise on power consumption issues as phantom power fluctuates and diminishes with the number of consumers connected. Generally, low power consumption equals less high-end response, less headroom (circuit peaks or overloads sooner), and less overall clarity. At K&K, we've always favored sound quality over power consumption in our external preamp line, but with the Pure XLR Mach 2 Preamp we went even further and run it on 18 volts. This feature alone would make the new Pure XLR Mach 2 Preamp worthwhile, but we added a few more things that players have asked for: +/- 15dB Parametric band that covers 150Hz to 700Hz with adjustable notch width Full bypass of parametric stage if not needed Tuner output Mute switch input In addition to these features: Proprietary K&K high-power three band EQ (bass – mid – treble) Adjustable input gain Phase switch Master volume Simultaneously usable 1/4” line out and balanced XLR – DI output The tuner output allows you to connect your tuner “open ended," so there will be no signal degradation by passing through it and no switch noise. The Pure XLR Mach 2 Preamp preserves harmonics and overtones and provides a more open and true acoustic sound response. The additional parametric band allows you to fine-adjust the low mid / high bass band for optimum tone and feedback control. We know our customers want the best and truest acoustic tone and we are proud to introduce this new preamp. We believe it brings out the best!
The Trinity Mini is a dual source pickup/internal mic system with a dual-channel preamp for steel-string guitars. The three-head, bridge plate pickup is based on the same technology as our Pure pickup. The Trinity Microphone features an integrated 5" gooseneck (allowing it to be positioned in a number of ways, incuding outside the soundhole) and 20-20,000 Hz frequency range. The Trinity Preamp is a dual-channel, external, beltclip model with adjustable gain-vol-bass-mid-treb for each channel. The system comes with a stereo endpin jack and a 6-foot stereo cable--no soldering required! The Trinity Mini delivers an even more authentic tone than the Pure pickup alone. The mic adds some extra air and shimmer to the overall sound, which is very beneficial to the purely acoustic guitarist. The mic can be included in the mix as much as the situation allows for, using the preamp's controls. As a general rule, the lower the stage volume, the more mic can be blended in. This system is great for home recordings too!
The Twin Spot is a two-head piezo transducer that can be used to amplify a wide variety of instruments, including guitars, saz, oud, bouzouki, balaleika, cello, dulcimer, bongos, and many more. Positioning the pickup heads at two spots results in a more balanced sound structure and a broader frequency range. The small heads are only 1/2 inch in diameter, allowing them to be installed unobtrusively and in hard-to-reach areas of an instrument. Made in USA. Specifications: Pickup head diameter: 1/2″ Height: 1/32″ Impedance: High ohmic Length of connection cables: 1 ft. each
The UltraPure Western is an active system for steel string guitar. It comprises a three-head bridge plate pickup, an onboard preamp with soundhole access, an endpin jack, and a Velcro mounted 9-volt battery holder. The pickup is based on our time-tested Pure Western, which excels at amplifying the natural tone of your guitar. The UltraPure preamp offers precise 3 band EQ as well as a gain control to finetune bass, mid, treble and gain. Our goal was to build an acoustic guitar transducer system that does not sound as harsh and percussive as the common state-of-the-art saddle transducers do. We were looking for a warmer, more "microphone-like" tone with the ability to achieve the high-gain-before-feedback characteristics of saddle pickups. After thorough testing we concluded that surface transducers positioned directly underneath the bridge inside the guitar body represent the ideal solution by yielding an excellent response from the guitar top, while minimizing feedback problems. Made in USA.
Martin FBR 2 Acoustic Guitar Feedback Buster helps eliminates feedback with acoustics guitars with pickups. Great for live use. Constructed of Black Rubber, easy to install. Fits most acoustic guitars. Plugs into Sound Hole Fits Soundholes 3 7/8" to 4" Accomadates Extended Fretboards
The Martin Thinline The Active Jack will give active performance to your existing Thinline 332 pickup or any piezo or magnetic pickup without additional modification. State-of-the-art circuitry is housed in the jack's shielding cap. The Thinline Active jack will give you more than 12,000 hours of life from one 9V battery.
Schaller 4 Band Preamp with 747 Piezo Bridge Saddle Pickup and Prefab plastic bridge. Made in Germany. The basic concept of this piezo/preamp combination is the noisefree transmission of the natural acoustic guitar sound in its full dynamic quality. With this combination the entire tonal spectrum of the acoustic guitar, from crystal-clear melody lines to powerful chord strumming, is faithfully reproduced. This was made possible by the use of high-grade materials such as polyester capacitors, metal film resistors, noiseless ICs and studio-quality sliders, finetuned with a carefully selected pre-contour filter and musically useful EQ frequencies.
Piezo pickups may be crossfaded between bridge pickup and transducer pickup (standard). Comes complete with piezo volume control and a variable super high-grade condenser microphone. Made in Germany. No drilling holes - simply plug in. Installation on or inside the guitar body. Easy battery change. Effortless battery replacement and low power consumption thanks to 3-volt technology. Microphone volume control and frequency adjustment. Endpin with switch, cable and plug.
