K&K PowerMix Trinity System Classic
For Nylon string guitars.
This system features the best of all worlds:
The Trinity System: K&K's super natural sounding pickup/microphone combination system. Comprised of the best-selling Pure Bridgeplate Guitar Pickup and the Trinity Condensor Microphone, this combo delivers amazing sound quality.
The FanTaStick: Our time-proven undersaddle transducer that delivers unbeatable volume and clarity.
The brand new PowerBlend 3-Channel Preamp: An onboard preamp with amazing mixing capability and triple volume control element. For internal soundhole edge mount.
Take advantage of the natural woody tone quality of the Trinity System and add the power and definition of the FanTaStick for high volume situations or if you need your guitar to stand out against a back-up band.
The FanTaStick is one of the finest undersaddle pickups available today. Many players choose this pickup for their guitar because they find that it sounds warmer than any other undersaddle pickup on the market. It also provides standard undersaddle features, like high gain-before-feedback, lots of clarity, and high definition.
The FanTaStick's piezo crystals are specially selected for their acoustic signal strength and handcrafted to enhance this quality. Unlike other undersaddle transducers, the FanTaStick is oriented towards the guitar-top and not towards the strings. This creates a warmer tone. We also use wider crystals for a more forgiving pickup alignment.
Brandon St. James uses the FanTaStick and tells us, "I used this pickup in the recording of my new CD. Even though $2,000 mics were available in the studio, the engineers and myself honestly felt that we couldn't improve on the sound achieved from going direct to the board from the pickup. If I hadn't been there and experienced it for myself, I never would have believed it…. I just know that it sounds fantastic in recording and in live sound systems. I've received endless compliments on the quality of the sound from other guitarists in my audience."
The Pure Pickup and the FanTaStick blend beautifully. More than the sum of their parts, the pickups create an impressive microphone-like tone quality with definition and power that is unprecedented in today's guitar pickup market. Adding in the Trinity Microphone opens the sound up even more and truly gives you the best of all worlds of amplified acoustic sound.
All elements can be mounted non-destructively and installation requires no holes other than the endpin hole. All the components are meticulously phase aligned. The PowerBlend 3-Channel Preamp also uses new, low-power consumption parts so that the battery life is up to 120 hours.
