External Mandolin Microphone System

The highly feedback resistant and silky smooth sounding unidirectional Meridian Microphone is paired with the Meridian Pro preamp that features all the controls you will ever need. 3 band EQ, phase switch, adjustable input gain, line out and balanced XLR active DI out all in one box.

K&K’s special gooseneck design guarantees that the mic will stay solid in the position you put it. The mandolin-microphone-clamp utilizes adjustable barrel screws, is well padded and adjustable for different body depth. It will fit any A- and F-style mandolin with body depth between 1.75"-2.25" (44mm to 57mm). Smaller and wider clamps are available on special order.

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 clip-on microphone without any alteration to the instrument. Plus, one single Meridian Mandolin Mic will serve multiple mandolins! If you have more than one mandolin we recommend to get an extra clamp because the mic clips to the clamp in a few seconds. An additional clamp can be purchased individually (please call). If you have an acoustic guitar as well you can even purchase a guitar-clamp and use the same mic system. And, like any K&K product, you buy quality workmanship proudly made in Oregon USA.

The Meridian Mandolin Microphone System comes in a sturdy foam padded plastic transport case.
