K&K Sound

Proudly made by a small firm in Coos Bay, Oregon, the K&K systems are the most natural we've found. They allow the player to accomplish what acoustic electronic manufacturers have been attempting for decades which is to actually capture the sound of their favorite guitar and amplify it to whatever volume the situation calls for.

The K&K Trinity Western Dual Source system has been our best seller for years and our in-house master luthier, Mark Kane does complete installs for an additional $85.00 labor charge.

The new Meridian system allows the guitarist to easily transfer their system from one guitar to another without damage to their instrument's finish all while capturing realistic/accurate tone from their guitar.

If you are looking for the most natural sounding, accurate way to get your acoustic guitar's tone to an audience, K&K is the way to go.

This amazing new system from our long-time partner K&K Sound allows you to easily transfer your ability to amplify your acoustic guitar from one instrument to another while capturing some of the best, most natural acoustic sound we've heard outside of a dedicated, high-end studio microphone and preamp which would be unweildy and impractical for live peformance. The easy to attach, non-finish-marring clamping surface makes this system a breeze to put on and take off as needed. It's also the perfect solution for anyone wanting a 100% non-invasive solution to amplifying their prized acoustic guitar.

From K&K

This new externally mounted unidirectional condenser mic sounds silky smooth with amazing feedback rejection and the convenience of an adjustable clamp that securely fits any acoustic guitar model.

It can be paired with the phantom powered Meridian Microphone Preamp (included in the system). The Meridian Preamp features a unique mid frequency control system that lets you dial-in a studio quality acoustic guitar tone while holding feedback at bay.

The Meridian microphone has one serious advantage over an internal guitar mic. It is NOT inside the guitar. The true guitar sound logically happens outside the guitar body. Inside there are, aside from an excessive amount of bass frequencies, various sound reflections that do not represent the true tone of your instrument. An external mic captures the guitar sound as YOU hear it.

With our gooseneck design the mic can be precisely aimed. Point it more towards the soundhole for a bassier tone or towards the body/neck joint for a tighter/brighter sound. K&K’s special gooseneck design guarantees that the mic will stay solid in the position you put it. The 2 part clamp system is made from powder-coated stainless steel, well padded with non skid rubber on the inside and easily adjustable for different body depth.

We found that the Meridian mic allows for considerable volume even with small acoustic amps. It is the ideal addition for the player who wants to add a high quality microphone without any alteration to the instrument. Plus, one single Meridian Mic will serve multiple guitars! And, like any K&K product, you buy quality workmanship proudly made in Oregon USA. The Meridian Microphone System comes in a sturdy foam padded plastic transport case.
