K&K vibraphone pickup systems are available as audio amplification systems only or as complete Audio/Midi systems. The Audio-only systems can be upgraded to an Audio/Midi system at a later date by adding the Vibe Wizard.
The system consists of a set of 42 pickups (one for each bar plus 5 spare), two collecting rails with volume trimpots for each individual bar and the Mini Mixer or the Vibe Wizard with all cable and hanger accessories, transport cases, mounting materials, and detailed instructions.
The K&K Audio/Midi vibraphone amplification system is played by Mike Mainieri, Dave Samuels, David Friedman, Joe Locke, Tom Toyama, and many more. It was also used by the legendary Lionel Hampton. His instrument, with the K&K system, was donated to the Smithsonian Museum on his 90th birthday.
