- MI-SI ACOUSTIC TRIO VIOLIN SYSTEM
photo - This very innovative acoustic violin pickup system incorporates a Kremona pickup element with the Mi-Si chargeable preamp embedded in a Carpenter style jack (which clamps to the edge of the instrument like a chinrest does). The unique aspect of the preamp is that you power it up with the special Mi-Si charger which connects to a standard AC outlet straight to the output jack. 60-seconds later (yes, just 1-minute) the preamp is fully charged for an effective playing time of 8 hours!! No more batteries. The pickup element inserts into one of the bridge wings (compression is important here, so some trimming or shimming may be needed). Professional installation recommended if bridge alteration is needed. Charger is included.
MSAT4.....our price $159.85 buy- THE VINTAGE JACK
- MANDOLIN - BRASS - Allows you to plug-in without altering your mandolin. This nicely designed high quality 1/8" stereo jack simply replaces most taper fit mandolin endpins; you do not need to bore out the endpin hole as you do with standard jacks. The unit comes stereo wired with 18" leads of fully shielded coaxial cable ready to be hard-wired to your pickup. Also included is a very high quality right-angle 1/8" plug, which you solder to the end of your cable-of-choice. Professional installation recommended.
