Both the tranducers and the endpin-jack are mounted inside the mandolin. The transducers are attached with double-sided adhesive tape, providing a robust installation with minimum sound interference. Installation of this system should be done by an experienced luthier or mandolin tech.

It provides the exact same sound quality as the Mandolin Twin Internal because the pickups are mounted in the same positions. The Mandolin Twin Fusion can easily be installed by the musician.
