Onboard Pickup/Microphone Mixing System
|
The Dual Source System
is a miniature onboard
microphone/pickup mixing system that features all discrete Class A
circuitry. The DS seamlessly combines our high-tech
Ribbon Transducer™ with a high quality FET condenser capsule
for an affordable, simple-to-use one cord mix.
The Pickup: The Ribbon Transducer is a thin, flexible undersaddle microphone for acoustic instruments. The key characteristic that sets our transducer apart from the pack is that our sensor material is configured to be responsive to vibration but not to pressure. Consequently, there are no limits to its dynamic range and it effortlessly tracks the vibrations of the guitar top. And, because it does not respond to pressure, the dry, stringy sound characteristic of pressure sensitive pickups is eliminated. When you experience it you will have a hard time believing it's really a pickup. The Microphone: The Dual Source mic is a high quality omni-directional FET condenser capsule encased in a small block of acoustically transparent foam. It mounts easily on the back of the inside of the guitar with Velcro. It is designed to use the entire back surface as a "pressure zone." This minimizes the effect of standing waves and hot spots inside of the guitar. Consequently, the sound is closer to that of an outside microphone than with other internal mic placements. This location also gives increased protection against feedback. |
