Transducers

Hi all

Can anyone advise me on the best type of transducer to use on my Iraqi Oud? I have heard that the K&K twin spot classic is good but wonder if there are any better ones that I could buy.

Stew-Mac sells the same type oftransducer for internal mounting. Use at least 2, one mounted just forward of the bridge on the treble end and behind the bass end, wired in parallel through the endpin jack. If you want to apply it on the outside, you'll need a different jack, mounted externally. You'll also need a pre-amp, check the Related Items tab.
