More and more discerning acoustic players are choosing microphones over pickups for their amplification needs. The simple truth is that even the very best acoustic pickup system cannot capture the natural sound of a guitar like a microphone can. However, feedback problems and awkward placement issues led most players toward internal pickups. Recent technological and design have led to quite a few new, more practical instrument mic designs being introduced. One of the most compelling options is the K&K Meridian external guitar microphone system.
It includes a bracket that conveniently lets you mount the microphone on the guitar in a non-permanent fashion. The gooseneck allows positioning of the K&K Meridian in several common placement spots over the fretboard. This gives you the sonic advantage of having an external microphone, while also giving you the freedom to move around! The Meridian is surprisingly feedback resistant. The response is open and airy, which will compliment the best of instruments. This is a really useful, great sounding option from K&K
The K&K Meridian External Guitar Microphone comes with a small preamp that provides and XLR jack, midrange control, and accepts phantom power needed for the mic. It can also be used with an external power supply to provide it's own phantom power, which is sold separately.
