The PowerMix Pure XT System is a dual-source pickup/pickup combination with external preamp. It consists of:
- Our award-winning Pure pickup (Mini, Classic, or 12-String).
- Our time-tested FanTaStick Pickup, an undersaddle pickup that delivers unbeatable volume, balance, and clarity. Technical Information for the FanTaStick (Opens in pop-up window)
- The PowerMix Pure XT Preamp, an external preamp with amazing mixing capability.
If you are looking for both, the sweet, warm tone of the Pure Western plus really high stage volume before feedback, look no further.
Dieter, K&K's head pickup designer, boss and former pro musician says: "If I would still perform live, this would be the system of my choice."
About the PowerMix Pure XT Preamp
The PowerMix XT Preamp is a two-channel, belt clip mixer that allows you to blend the two pickups of the PowerMix system. It features extremely low noise operation and can process high input peaks without distortion and offers an incredible dynamic range.
Aside from its strong bass, midrange and treble filters (for each channel), it offers internal gain adjustments which set the pre amplification factor from 1 to 10 (per channel). This allows you to boost the input signal up to the 10-fold amount. It features two volume controls knobs, two 1/4" inputs, and a line level 1/4" output on the outside of the box. Inside the box, there are adjustable controls for gain, bass, midrange and treble for each channel. The tone controls offer an incredible +/- 20 dB. This is a wider range than some big boards on the market today!
To keep the box as small as possible these controls are trim pots (small potentiometers for adjustment with a precision screw driver which is supplied). Once you installed the two systems you have chosen for your instrument, you can adjust them with the trim pots to your personal taste and needs. During performance, the two volume knobs on the outside allow for fast balancing on the fly.
All parts of the system can be installed non-destructively without hole drilling other than the endpin hole. The components are meticulously phase aligned.
