Jan 19, 2017 The K&K Pure XLR preamp the following EQ controls 1) Bass shelving with set corner frequency 100 Hz (unknown slope); 2) Midrange bell with set center frequency of 1.5k Hz (unknown Q); and 3) High shelving with set corner frequency of 10k Hx (unknown slope). The Pure XLR Preamp is specially designed to complement K&K’s line of Pure pickups. However, due to its adjustable input gain and wide frequency range it will work with many more applications. The Pure XLR Preamp features +/-20 db bass, mid, and treble controls, plus an adjustable input gain control.

The Pure XLR is a great stage solution if you're looking to plug in your Pure Mini (or other K&K) to the house PA. With a DI, plenty of EQ control, and a preamp impedance-matched to K&K's pickups, Pure XLR is a hands-down favorite among our customers using K&K pickups. Operates with 9-volt battery or phanto.

This is my review of the K & K Sound Ultra Pure Mini acoustic guitar pickups. Over my 2 1/2 years of playing guitar, I have learned one thing. Everything is subjective, to the player and listener. So with that in mind, I will begin.
I wanted to be able to plug in my two Martin guitars. One is 000-15M and the other is an HD28 VTS. I have a less expensive Yamaha FX700-SC which already had a UST (under saddle transducer) and a mounted preamp on the guitar.
There are a great number of options. There are UST's, simple sound hole pickups, clip on pickups, ect. With my Martin Guitars, I really wanted the guitars to look stock as possible, and still be able to just grab the guitar and plug in. That desire narrowed the field considerably.
UST's definitely require a preamp. Which would require cutting into the side of the guitar, and the sound is certainly not as high quality as many other options. I was very impressed with the sound and clarity of the L R Baggs anthem. In my humble opinion, it may be the very best available, at this time. But, it required some modification and you could easily see the sound hole pickup, even though it is more discreetly mounted on the side.
I decided on the K & K Sound Ultra Pure Mini's. This allowed me to mount the pickups inside the guitar discreetly, and I bought the K & K XLR preamp that I could use on both guitars. It was a cost effective system that I do not regret. The drawback to using one preamp for both guitars, is that it does require dialing in the preamp for each guitar, whenever you change. Reallyit is not necessary to have the preamp, especially if you have a powerful amp. But it does add more punch, and really allows you to dial in the nearly exact sound that is emitted from your individual guitar. The XLR preamp also has a phase button that better synchronizes the signal from the guitar to eliminate what I call phase clutter. But that clutter, doesn't always sound bad.
The bottom line here, is that the Ultra Pure Mini's are great. They allowed me to keep my guitars looking stock and replicate the actual sound of the guitar quite well. They are less expensive, and don't really require a preamp.

Hey there kvsealegs,
K 26k Pure Xlr Preamp User Manual Pdf
Thanks for the great review. I agree about the K&K Pure Minis - they are great at amplifying the natural tone of the instrument without the beauty of the instrument being lost in a preamp. They aren't 100% spectacular with a big band on stage due to issues with feedback but in my mind, they are the best sounding acoustic pickup around.

I've used the k&k mini western for about ten years. Today, I use a K&K Fantastick under the saddle coupled with a Sunrise soundhole pickup. I use a stereo jack into a K&K stereo preamp. This set-up gives me great, natural sound. I like the k&k preamp because it provides an excellent impedance match to the pickup. That being said, I have had good luck into other acoustic preamps (I have a Sunrise SB1 and a Pickup the World), into my Acoustisonic Junior. If I want to go directly into a board, I need to ensure that the jack has at least 1 meg ohm resistance.
