Vibraphone Amplification System

K&K has more than 20 years experience in vibraphone amplification, more than any other company on the globe. As a matter of fact, vibraphone amplification is the true origin of K&K. Our first product ever was a magnetic vibe pickup system

The system shown here is installed on a Musser Piper vibe.

This system is designed for 3 octave vibraphones and can be custom fit to almost any vibraphone model on the market at no extra charge.

Our standard system comes with two straight collecting rails, which mount to the vibraphone frame with two screws each.

For traveler vibraphones (with collapsible frame-rails and resonators) we offer collapsible collecting rails (Traveler/Foldable System), also very convenient for air travel. Foldable rails feature hangers, no screw mount is necessary.

All vibraphone amplification systems are custom-made. We build all systems to the exact dimensions of your instrument (How to draw a plan for your K&K Vibraphone Amplification System). Therefore, please allow 3-4 weeks between ordering and shipping.

Split Rail Audio Pickup System

This audio vibraphone pickup system is based on the same transducers and technology as the system above but it comes with four shorter collecting rails to perfectly complement the Musser or Yamaha Traveler vibraphone models, as well as any Musser M55 or regular full size Yamaha frame. The rails are equipped with hangers that interconnect with two supplied patch chords.

It is perfect for musicians who air travels with their bars and pickup system only and rent Musser or Yamaha frames at the performance location. We can custom-make the systems for different vibraphone sizes if necessary.
