## Overview

The Multi-Source Pickup-Mic System features a dual pickup system with an 18V high impedance preamp, designed specifically for steel string guitars. It includes an omni-directional electret condenser microphone and a convenient soundhole-mounted control module, ensuring exceptional sound quality and versatility for musicians.

## Description

The new D-TAR Multi-Source combines the popular D-TAR Wave-Length pickup system with a condenser microphone for versatility, flexibility and, of course, the most natural sound possible from your acoustic guitar. The D-TAR Multi-Source starts with the Wave-Length unitary design, piezoelectric co-polymer under-saddle pickup coupled to an 18-volt, low-noise, high-input impedance preamp with twice the dynamic range of typical 9-volt systems. The 18-volt preamp is powered by two AA batteries. With 18 volts, your signal has more headroom so hard strumming or plucking won't distort into piezo "quack" as easily. With the addition of the highly-efficient miniature, omni-directional electret condenser microphone, you can amplify your acoustic guitar with startling clarity and accuracy. The mic is nestled in a special absorptive visco-elastic polymer shock mount for optimal isolation. Two low-profile knobs allow for master volume and microphone volume. Dial the microphone in to add just the right amount of "air"; dial it out to control feedback, if necessary. Speaking of feedback, the microphone channel has two stages of low frequency roll-off to combat any tendency towards low frequency feedback. Also, full coverage copper shielding on the pickup insures immunity to external noise fields. This system is quiet! The lightweight discreet soundhole-mounted control module controls master volume and mic volume to achieve optimal pickup-to-mic mix. A visco-elastic polymer mic shock mount isolates the mic from undesirable vibration and handling noise providing detailed, transparent sound quality. Stereo wiring option assigns the mic to the "Ring" connection and the pickup to the "Tip" connection of the output jack for use with a two channel preamp like the D-TAR Solstice.

    Great addition to your acoustic
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2016*

The D-Tar Multi-Source is overall a great pickup system. The only thing I wish is that you could mix the mic in more than 50% with the onboard preamp. You can separate the sources and mix them with a preamp, so there's that for folks that want more control.The mic is actually pretty damn good. I was worried it would be cheap and distorted, but it reproduces the sound of my guitar very nicely. After using this, I can say that you definitely want a mic as part of your pickup system. It sounds way better than any other alternative, and this is especially so if you like woody and warm sounds vs the bright sound you get from piezo or the electric sound you get from a magnetic pickup. The mixing in the mic also cuts down on string noise when moving up and down the fretboard that you get with the piezo.The D-Tar wavelength piezo isn't really any better (or worse) than your standard piezo. Maybe it's a bit less quacky, but it still sounds like a piezo. Mixing the the mic fully (50% mic, 50% piezo) gives a really nice sound, though still a little brighter than I want with my mahogany top.I don't think a more expensive system would be any better than the D-Tar, especially if your mixing it with a preamp peddle.

    Best Quality and Most Professional Features
  

*by D***8 on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2013*

This is the best sounding acoustic pickup I have ever come across. I have tried the Fishman Matrix Infinity, Dean Markley West Coast, and the LR Baggs Element, M80, Anthem and Lyric. This is the only pickup I have tried that sounds clean, balanced and transparent in quiet venues, and yet still able to cut through thick mixes on loud stages. The 18 volt preamp really makes a huge difference, in both overall output level and headroom (it literally will not distort or clip the signal--just watch the VU meters on the rest of the system to make sure you aren't overdriving it!). The manual is also very thorough (unlike LR Baggs systems), and gives you everything you need to know to install the system yourself if you are decently handy. My only advice is, make sure you are plugging into a rig that you know well, in a room that you are familiar with, when setting the EQ trim pots. It is easy to screw up the balance of this pickup, and it's best to take your time with those adjustments so that they don't have to be adjusted constantly.

    Make your acoustic sound like an acoustic
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2015*

I had this put (by Atomic guitar here in Phx) into my Martin D-16.  This guitar was a gift from my father, and as such - I've been VERY hesitant to drill the wood until I was sure what I wanted.  This pickup IS worth it, and has a fantastic, adjustable sound.  I have used it (so far) for recording (digitally, using a usb converter) and live (onstage, to a Mackie board through JBL's with no D.I.) and both sounded great.  I could not recommend this pickup more.  Very subtle playing gestures come through clearly, both for fingerpicking and flatpicking.
