Artist Series Prestige-220 Pickup System From JJB Electronics

Description: Our Prestige-220 pickup system works very well in smaller scale (parlor/travel) steel string guitars. They are also very popular as an internally mounted mandolin system as well as in larger scale ukulele's such as tenors and baritones. It's a very versatile system for a wide range of applications. This system is available with an optional, discreet, thumbwheel style volume control. This can be selected by using the drop-down menu above. This is typically mounted just inside the soundhole, or under the pickguard in mandolin applications. The volume control is easily installed by use of a durable, pre-applied, 3M double stick adhesive tape. If you select this option, you will also be provided with a self-adhering cable mount to help with cable management within the instrument. This system is now available with an external mounting kit. This can be selected by using the drop-down menu above. We realize that not everyone's application is the same. Sometimes it's impossible to access the inside of an instrument for installation (such as in the case of a Mountain Dulcimer). This kit enables you to mount the system externally. It also allows you to be able to easily remove it and install it on a different instrument. The items included in this kit are as follows reusable putty discs for mounting the transducers, 3M double-stick discs for a more semi-permanent installation of the transducers, a jack mount that attaches to a screw-in type strap button, and a self-stick jack mount that can be applied to anywhere, on any instrument. The self-stick clip uses removable, non-damaging double sided adhesive tape. Please note that we do not have an option to add both the volume control and an external mounting kit. We feel that this would make for a very "busy" install with lots of wires in sight. However, if you would like this option, just drop us an email and we would be happy to help. These are built using very high quality 20mm piezo's. The dual 20mm configuration is designed to pick up the full range in most any acoustic stringed instrument. It utilizes a double surface transducer design. This results in a wide frequency range and very natural reproduction of sound. The two-piezo configuration offers a few advantages over single piezosystems. Having two piezo’s affords you the opportunity to place them at two different points on the soundboard thus resulting in an improved dynamic range due to the fact that they transmit the resonance found at more than one point. These special surface transducers are under less pressure than under saddle pickups thus decreasing the likelihood of them transmitting a percussive or harsh sound. Each piezo is designed to pick upthe resonance found in a significant amount of the soundboard. These do not "fade" or distort at high volume or with high-power systems. The highs are crystal clear while the lows arewhat they should be, low! All of our products feature quality components and construction. These utilize a premium quality Switchcraft style 1/4” nickel plated end-pin jack. This system will give you a very“clean” install for those who do not want to compromise the integrity of their beloved instrument. The end-pin jack also doubles as a strap button. These, like all of our systems, can be installed in about an hour. They are a very simple and inexpensive means of turning your acoustic instruments in to acoustic electric.
