Review: NanoMAG-4 Pickup for Mandolin

Based on Shadow’s innovative NanoMAG pickup technology emerges a unique quad pickup which unites four active NanoMAG pickups – one for each pair of strings.

Because the NanoMAG doesn’t reside in the bridge, you won’t hear the annoying “click” as you do when you amplify your mandolin with a passive piezo pickup and the plek hits the strings.

And the best feature: With the gain pots you are now able to adjust the output volume of each pair of strings individually and this guarantees a perfectly balanced output.

The electronics of the preamp hide elegantly underneath the supplied pick guard. With the volume, bass and treble controls you will be able to adjust your personal, acoustic sound easily. A high quality endpin jack with 6.3mm (1/4”) output is supplied.

Now, your mandolin sounds like a mandolin: faithfully acoustic and pure mandolin sound. Annoying clicks, hissing, humming and feedback belong to the past, now.

SH 927 NMG-4 suits all mandolins that are built in typical bluegrass style (F-type) while SH 928 NMG-4  suits teardrop mandolins (A-type).
