Twin SoundSpot™ Classic
SoundSpots are ultra-sensitive transducer pickups suitable for stringed and non-stringed acoustic and ethnic instruments.
Unlike other “dot-type” transducer pickups, each SoundSpot™ is hand ground to extremely fine tolerances. This process,
along with the selection of materials, renders a pickup with a very thin surface that also maintains its strength and
flexibility. The result is a transducer that is ultra-sensitive to an instrument’s surface vibrations and, therefore,
is extremely natural and warm sounding.
• Ultra-sensitive transducer pickup

• Versions available for most acoustic instruments
• Extremely natural and warm sounding

Applying The Pickup
Use double-sided adhesive tape to attach the pickup discs with their metal side facing the oud’s top.
For best results, position the discs as shown. In order to avoid rattling, use tape to secure the two cords leading
to the jack.
Jack
The 1/4" output jack should be attached to the lower bottom area of the oud using a self-adhesive dual-lock
hook-and-loop strip.
Usage Tips
Most amplifiers work well with an oud outfitted with the TWIN SoundSpot Classic, but amps designed
especially for acoustic instruments bring out its fullest tone. Reverb is a good addition, adding depth and size
to the sound. For extra control, a high-quality preamp works well. For P.A. and recording applications,
a high-quality direct box such as as the D-TAR Solstice or Equinox is suggested.
