Kna Pickups MP-2 Mandolin Pickup

A KNA Pickup Designed for Uncompromising Amplification

The KNA MP-2 is a piezo pickup designed and handmade by KNA to meet the needs of mandolin players who want amplification while preserving the integrity of their instrument. Its design favors a simple and respectful approach: everything is done without any intervention on the lutherie, making it an ideal solution for valuable instruments, vintage mandolins, or any musician wishing to avoid permanent installation.

For Stage, Rehearsal, and Recording: Who Is the MP-2 For?

This pickup is aimed at musicians who alternate between acoustic and amplified playing: concerts, jam sessions, group rehearsals, or direct recording when a condenser microphone is not practical. Thanks to its portable format, the MP-2 is also suitable for those who own several mandolins and want to switch quickly from one to another. If you are looking for reliable amplification with good definition of attacks and harmonics, the MP-2 aims for transparency that respects the character of your instrument.

Full Sound and Express Installation, Stress-Free

The innovative design of the MP-2 allows for entirely external configuration : you keep your mandolin as it is while obtaining a usable signal for amplification. Once in place, the amplified sound is described as balanced and natural, with full frequencies covering the entire spectrum from bass to treble. The result is especially appreciated for recovering the clarity of the mandolin in an amplified context, while maintaining comfortable playing dynamics and consistent response across the entire neck.
