"…an amazing design for stealth amplification" - Los Angeles Guitar Quartet
the2Mic-Pro™
New! For classical, flamenco and acoustic* guitars.
What it does:
the2Mic-Pro™ is the realization of a dream for classical and flamenco guitarists: to have a stealth guitar-mounted microphone that reproduces the highest quality sound as part of your amplification system, without feedback, and which calls for no modification to the instrument. Simply stated, the2Mic-Pro™:
- Accurate, natural sound for performance or recording of classical, flamenco and acoustic* guitars.
- Requires no modifications to the guitar for installation and can be used with valuable and historic instruments
- Highly resistant to feedback.
- Every mic is personally inspected and tested by legendary luthier & inventor, Ken Donnell.
IMPROVEMENTS
the2Mic-Pro™ is the newest quick mount model 2Mic, but with many improvements over the original the2Mic™ including:
- 1/4" mono output terminated at the heel of the neck.
- Can remain installed indefinitely, even while the guitar is in its case for transport. Especially convenient for touring musicians.
- Longer gooseneck allows microphone placement adjustments to fine-tune tonal balance and address potential wolf tones.
- Includes a studio-quality cable with gold-plated plugs.
What is included with the2Mic-Pro™
- the2Mic-Pro™ dual-microphone system with redesigned gooseneck, positioning both microphones inside the guitar.
- EPS-2 Power Supply – the recommend power supply providing a balanced microphone-level output signal and operating with 9–48V phantom power.
- Rugged plastic carry case with an interior designed for safe storage and transport.
- Product manual with installation instructions.
Installation
After a bit of practice, installation of the2Mic should take seconds. Clear instructions are included in the product manual provided.
Acoustic Guitar Heel Adaptor
*Some acoustic guitars may require a simple heel adapter to ensure a secure mount of the microphone system to the smaller heels found on a number of acoustic guitars. This adapter is sold separately.
Optional Wireless System & Recommended Amplifier
Wireless: The optional the2Mic™ Samson Wireless System (sold separately) provides wireless freedom for the2Mic-Pro™.
Amplifier: We recommend the Electro-Voice EVERSE 8 portable amplifier, available in Black EVERSE 8 or White EVERSE 8 (sold separately)
