BANJO TWIN
Thank you for choosing the K&K Banjo Twin! The
Banjo Twin works well in passive mode; if a preamp
should be necessary we recommend our Pure XLR
Preamp.
Before installation please make sure the intonation
(placement of the banjo bridge) is correct. This
manual shows the installation process on a closed
back banjo. If you have an open back banjo some of
the steps shown are not necessary, of course.
1. Remove the resonator and lay your banjo upside
down in front of you.
2. Check the materials included in the package:
• Banjo Twin pickup
• 8 cable-ties (4 pcs for spare)
• 8 semi-circle shaped, white foam tape mounting
pieces with adhesive and protective paper on
both sides (2 sets, one for spare)
• 4 pieces 9mm wide masking tape gaping strips
(2 sets, one for spare)
3. Mark the center of both outside feet of the banjo
bridge.
4. Apply the 9mm wide gaping strips exactly in line
with the bridges feet, starting on the center marks
outward.
