Thank you for choosing the Mandolin Twin Fusion! This pickup system can easily be installed by the
musician. It provides the same great sound as the fully internal Mandolin Twin System offered by K&K
Sound but it does not require any permanent alteration to your instrument.
We recommend a K&K Pure Preamp or a K&K Pure XLR Preamp with this setup in order to have great sound
with any amp/PA and in any situation.
INSTALLATION
1. The picture shows the desired locations of the two transducers
inside the mandolin. In some models the two braces will run
differently than shown here.
If a brace does not allow you to place the pickup next to the exact
center (the widest part) of the F hole, just move the pickup up or
down a bit until you find a spot that fits the transducer. However,
move it a little as possible from the position shown.
2. The materials you will need for installation, from left to right:
Scissors, tweezers (if you do not have tweezers handy, a pair of
small needle-nose pliers will work just fine). In the sales package,
locate the bent nail (this is your installation tool), the putty piece
(gray putty on brown/white paper), the double-stick tape (on
brown/white paper), and, of course, the pickup.

- Page 2 3. Apply double stick tape to the golden side of the transducers, it is a very thin film: We recommend applying two layers of the double stick tape. After the first layer is applied as shown, peel off the brown protective tape. Repeat the procedure. This helps to reduce the sensitivity towards unwanted mechanical transmissions and guarantees the most secure adhesion.

Make sure to hold the pickup so the cable leads towards the bottom of the mandolin once the pickup is attached to the soundboard. The putty will temporarily hold the pickup to the bent nail.
- Page 4 9. Carefully remove the installation tool. It should come off with the putty on it. If part of the putty stuck to the pickup, you can try to remove it with your pinky finger but it does not affect performance if you leave it on the pickup.
- Page 5 12. Remove the brown protective paper from the double stick tape on the pickup and bring the pickup into position. Use upward pressure on the installation tool to firmly press the pickup to the soundboard. 13. Carefully remove the installation tool. Again, it should come off with the putty on it.
