Two microphones are connected to one 1/4" plug. These twin mics are for the treble side. Another single mic with 1/4" plug is for the bass side of the accordion. The included dual-channel preamp has been specially designed for use with this system. It has a belt clip so it can be worn on your right hip area. This preamp allows for bass/middle/treble EQ for the treble and bass side individually, as well as separate volume and gain controls. The mics attach with the self-adhesive "dual-lock" fastening system mounted to the base of their goose necks. This dual lock is like industrial-strength "Velcro," and will never wear out from repeated opening and closing.
