K&K Sound GOLDEN TRINITY Product Manual

G OL D E N T RIN IT Y S Y S T E M
The following Golden Trinity Systems are available:
• Golden Trinity Bass Max System
• Golden Trinity Double Big Twin System
• Golden Trinity Upgrade System
Each of the above systems include the Golden
Bullet URB Microphone, three conductor string
mounted jack, connecting cable, and the Golden
Trinity Dual Channel Preamp, which powers the mic
and provides complete EQ and volume for each
channel.
The Golden Bullet URB Microphone is a condensor
microphone chosen specifically for its performance
with the double bass. We selected this mic in
cooperation with double bass specialists because it
combines great sound with excellent feedback
resistance. It is unidirectional to help avoid rumble
and undesirable bleed from other instruments.
Amazingly light and small, it is mounted on the
bridge using a special Velcro self-adhesive fastener
and positioned using its six inch gooseneck.
The Golden Trinity Dual Channel Preamp is a
compact, 10 oz preamp (dimensions: 3 x 3 ½ x 1 3/8)
that provides power to the microphone and gives
you complete control over the volume and EQ for
each channel.
PICKUP INSTALLATION
A separate instruction manual is enclosed for the
systems with integrated pickup. Refer to it for the
installation and operating instructions for that
particular transducer system.
MICROPHONE INSTALLATION
The mic is supplied with a piece of dual-lock (similar
to Velcro) for mounting on your bridge. Cut a piece
from the supplied dual-lock (the same length as the
folded piece attached to the mic gooseneck) and,

leaving the adhesive backing piece in place, attach
it to one side of the dual-lock on the mic.
Since each bridge is different, the best placement
requires some experimenting. You may wish to
place the adhesive piece on the inside or on the
bottom of the leg of the bridge. Before you remove
the protective strip, use both hands to temporarily
hold it in place and adjust the mic gooseneck.
Once you have found the best location, remove the
protective strip and press the adhesive against the
bridge. The bridge surface should be clean and
clear of any rosin for the best results. Our testing
has shown that a good location for the mic is on the
G-string side of the bass, with the mic at an angle
towards the F hole, as shown in the photograph.
Directly aiming at the sound hole is not
recommended. Of course, the gooseneck allows you
to try a wide range of positions.
Note: Tight bass cases may catch on or move the
mic. If necessary, you may wish to place another
piece of dual-lock elsewhere on your bridge to
