New! for classical & flamenco guitars. Ideal for professional performance & studio recording.

the2Mic™ is the realization of a dream for classical and flamenco guitarists to have a discreet on-board amplification system that reproduces the highest sound quality, without feedback, and calls for no modification to the instrument. Simply stated, the2Mic™:

• is an extremely accurate and natural sounding microphone for performance or recording of classical & flamenco guitars

• is hand crafted in the USA under the supervision of legendary luthier & inventor, Ken Donnell

What is included?

• A new gooseneck design where 2 mics will be located inside the guitar after installation

• EPS-1 Power Supply – an optional power supply which produces an old-fashioned battery operated mono unbalanced line level output
• Velcro attachments for stabilizing the2Mic gooseneck at the heelcap of the guitar
• A rugged plastic carry case with an interior designed for safe storage and transport of the2Mic™

Installation

Signal Types & Power Supplies
– Modern & Old-fashioned options for signal type

EPS-2 - The 2Mic is designed to work best when used with modern P.A. powered speakers, and other P.A. gear having a phantom powered, balanced, mic level signal.

EPS-1 - But, guitarists sometimes must work with equipment which requires using a mono unbalanced line level signal and/or no phantom power feed. To meet this need, the2Mic is also supplied with a AA 1.5v battery operated EPS-1 power supply, which produces a line level, unbalanced mono output signal.

A highest quality of sound can be recorded and amplified using either power supply, but using the EPS-2 is best, as the modern mic level signal of the EPS-2 is more stable, and easiest for any good sound engineer to work with.
