The M-05 sensor is small and light in weight. Measuring only 1/4" high by 1
1/2" in length it does not affect the acoustic sound of the instrument and
will work on all 'normal' mandolin bridges, adjustable or fixed. It will
operate properly on Brekke's as well.
Features:
- Ease of installation,
the pickup adheres to the bridge with VHB foam tape.
- The jack assembly, available with or
without a volume control simply adheres to the underside of the tailpiece.
- Clean, clear sound reproduction.
This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound
good without the use of a preamp
when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).
As with any pickup, the sound can be further enhanced and EQ'd with an
outboard preamp.
If you require the added ability to be able to
plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add one of
our Preamp/DI units to your pickup
system.

The jack
assembly, which nestles in right next to the tail piece, is only a
half an inch high and mounts to the tailpiece (not to the body) on most mandolins.
The MVC jack assemblies, with our exclusive tailpiece mounting, is much more
secure and less likely to damage an instrument than the older 'clamp-on'
type of jack assembly. The underside of the jack assembly has a protective felt
backing so as not to scratch the surface of the instrument.
