With 3 Tranducer pickup heads it super balanced, flat sound transmission, warm woody tone without any quack and superior dynamic range all over the guitar's frequency spectrum.This pickup won the silver medal in the 2006 worldwide readers' poll of Acoustic Guitar Magazine. Made in USA.
The Pure Resonator BB is designed especially for biscuit bridge resonator guitars. It features a screw-mounted pickup for best possible sound transmission with maximum feedback resistance. The jack can be installed externally or internally. The pickup is pre-wired to an endpin jack, including an external Dual-Lock Velcro fastening system. The jack can also be installed internally if the Dual-Lock Velcro is removed. A flush mount nylon jack is supplied as well for optional internal installation. Made in USA.
The Pure Resonator SB is designed especially for spider bridge resonator guitars. The pickup is designed to be installed inside the resonator cone on the center screw. Made in USA.
The Definity System is a brand-new solution that delivers K&K's natural pickup power to a variety of difficult to amplify acoustic instruments. Definity is designed for floating bridge instrument, semi-acoustic electric guitars with Tune-o-matic bridges, Banjo, Cello, Double Bass and many ethnic or folk instruments like Bouzouki, Saz, etc. The pickup is only 6/1000 of an inch thin and measures 1 3/4” x 3/4” total. They call it a “compression pickup” because it is especially suited for “wedged” applications under a floating bridge. However, the pickup element is capable of transmitting sound like soundboard transducers as well. In fact, we found that the best tone is achieved if the pickup is mounted so it is partially “wedged” and partially open on the soundboard. The Definity pickup reaches its true potential with a matched preamp (included in the price!). The Definity Preamp, which features a phase switch, adjustable mid and treble controls (via trimpots), and a 1/4” line out, makes the package complete.
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!
K&K Sound Twin Spot Double mini transducers made for a wide range of stringed and percussive instruments. Very natural sound with excellent frequency range and easy mounting with supplied hyper-thin adhesive. Made in USA.
The K&K Sound Twin Spot Internal is a twin-head piezo transducer that is designed for internal mount in acoustic guitars and other instruments. Made in USA.
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.
