This passive volume control works without a battery. It does not boost the volume, but it allows you to turn the pickup signal down. It functions best when the input impedance of the device you plug your guitar into is 1 Mega Ohm (preamp/amp or mixing board-channel). If this input impedance deviates by a large amount (i.e. 100 Kilo Ohms or 10 Mega Ohms), you may experience diminished range (from “full volume” to “off” within a 1/3rd rotation) or, in extreme cases, a slight hum when the potentiometer is at middle position. This is a normal phenomenon when passive potentiometers are used with piezo based pickups. At “full-on” or “full-off” it will always be noise-free. A lot of customers use the Volume Control like an extended on/off switch.

The Pure Pickup is K&K award-winning, signature pickup for acoustic guitars. Installed on the guitar’s bridge plate, the Pure Pickup is the the best choice for achieving a rich, natural guitar sound — even without a preamp! Our customers tell us that it’s the best passive pickup on the market, which means it’s the perfect plug-and-play solution for the musician who wants a warm, full-range signal without worrying about cluttering up their instrument, adjusting onboard electronics, or having to remember to change the battery.

The Pure Pickup’s position on the bridge plate provides the perfect balance of sound, picking up all the strings without sounding harsh or percussive and “listening” to the sound board to amplify the unique characteristics of your guitar. The result is a warm, full-range signal that represents the true character of your guitar.

The extra strong output signal makes it a versatile choice for a variety of instruments. The two heads allow for positioning at two spots which results in improved balance of the sound and a wider and absolutely flat frequency response. The Big Twin is recommended to transduce acoustic guitars, acoustic bass, double bass, cello, mandocello and piano, grand piano, harp, dulcimer…

The Big Twin is available with an internal jack. The internal jack can be mounted from the outside so no soldering is necessary. The pickup heads are attached with a special double-side adhesive film, which is UV resistant to ensure safe adhesion even after years of use. It is ultra-thin and enables the harmonic frequencies to completely pass through to the pickup disks.

The Hot Spot comes with double-sided adhesive film and self-adhesive jack mounting clip. Its frequency range is close to perfectly linear and the output signal is very high for a piezo this small.
The Hot Spot Internal comes with an internal endpin jack.

The combination of its advanced MEMS microphone and hi-quality preamp and DSP processing unit provides — for the first time ever — a break-through solution that offers hi-quality natural sound, advanced features, ease of installation and a convenience never seen before.

Until now, getting your acoustic to sound like it does in the studio when playing on stage has been a difficult, if not impossible, task. Playing an acoustic on stage typically falls into two scenarios: using the onboard piezo or magnetic pickup system to project a fractional representation of your acoustic’s natural warm tone, or sitting stationary on stage with microphones in “the sweet spot” on your acoustic, dramatically limiting your ability to move.

With iRig Acoustic Stage, you no longer have to sacrifice great acoustic tone when playing live. iRig Acoustic Stage gives you the best of both worlds — the beautiful, rich sound of your acoustic guitar as if it were mic’d up in the studio AND the freedom to move around without compromising your sound. Sound impossible? Read on…

iRig Acoustic Stage is a patented, revolutionary digital microphone system that makes your guitar sound exactly as if it was captured with a classic recording studio setup, giving you full rich studio-quality sound on the stage.

iRig Acoustic captures the full range and timbre of your instrument in the most life-like manner. Unlike magnetic or piezo solutions, iRig Acoustic doesn’t color the sound of your instrument, and offers extended frequency response and low-noise circuitry throughout.

The output of iRig Acoustic connects directly to your iPhone, iPad, Android device, or Mac, and offers a 1/8” headphone output for monitoring. No batteries or power is required, making it an incredibly simple, compact way to perform or record anywhere.

iRig Acoustic is designed to connect to IK’s new AmpliTube Acoustic app, packed with tons of killer effects and features designed for acoustic guitar- ists. It’s also fully compliant with dozens of other top apps, from Apple’s GarageBand to Samsung’s SoundCamp.

With a revolutionary design, aggressive price point and killer sound quality, iRig Acoustic lets acoustic players join the mobile music revolution.

The AG6 system is supplied with an internal Jack cable for fixed installation on the instrument. An external Jack cable is available separately.
