Mojotone Quiet Coil NC-2

Coming from other pickups as LR Baggs M80, Seymour Duncan Mag Mic, Schertler AG-6 with the mini mic and Fishman rare earth blend I must say that this Mojotone NC-2 takes the top spot easily.
I’ve have owned almost all, including sunrise during my 30+ year as a guitarist.

Incredibly organic sounding and balanced. Even the B- E strings are completely tamed on the NC-2.
Another plus is the weight. It’s really light-weighted and doesn’t impact the soundboard.
The mic is built in somehow, you can’t see it which is pretty cool.
The mic is way more feedback proof than any of the ones I mentioned above.

Of course there is some hints of the mag but it’s warm an full. It’s something I prefer in alternative tunings.

This pickup is up there with the AP5 Pro on my Maton 808 TE which is a bold statement. I will also remove a couple of LR Baggs anthems on some of my Martins.

It’s worth the money.

I permanently installed the NC-2 in my Martin OM-28V, and have no regrets. The pickup sounds great and is very resistant to feedback, even with the mic wide open.

Very natural sounding, but you do get a sense of that mag sound, especially with the mic turned off or low. But that is SO much better than the piezo quack in my book, so no complaints.

I wouldn't trust this as a temporary install, with the cable hanging off of the soundhole. The belt clip is useless in my opinion.

Other than that no knocks on this pickup other than price, it is on the expensive side.

I have this pickup installed in all my acoustics now. It’s easy to install, battery lasts forever (for a looong time), the pickup sounds great, it is feedback resistant, even in band situations. I scroll the blend wheel back a bit when it gets loud and sometimes I put in half a feedbuster in the sound hole. Then I can use overdrive pedals and it works fine and sounds good. I’ve tried a lot of acoustic pickups over the years and this is my favourite. Great for percussive playing when the wheel is turned all the way to microphone position. I make percussive loops that way. Then I scroll it back a bit when playing over the loop. Half way, a little bit to the pickup side, it’s a matter of taste and type of playing. Thank you for a great pickup!
