Description
Unlock the true potential of your acoustic guitar with the D-TAR Wavelength pickup system, specifically engineered to deliver pristine, amplified sound without compromising the natural tone of your instrument. This innovative system combines an under-saddle transducer with an omnidirectional condenser mic, capturing the warmth and resonance of your guitar at its most dynamic point. Whether you’re fingerpicking or strumming with intensity, the Wavelength pickup ensures your performance is conveyed with clarity and precision.
One of the standout features of the Wavelength is its sophisticated power boost. Powered by two AA batteries, the system uses a multiplier circuit to elevate the voltage from nine to 18 volts, providing ample headroom for your sound. This design eliminates the notorious "quack" often associated with piezo pickups, allowing for a more authentic replication of your guitar's acoustic character. Additionally, the built-in omnidirectional mic is mounted in a specially designed shock-absorbent housing, minimizing unwanted vibrations and focusing solely on your instrument’s resonance.
For those who perform live, the Wavelength offers unrivaled control and convenience. Two discreet, low-profile knobs located in the soundhole allow you to adjust the master and mic volumes effortlessly, helping you find the perfect balance in any setting. Plus, with two stages of low-frequency roll-off, you can easily manage feedback during your gigs. Encased in full-coverage copper shielding, this pickup system protects against external noise, ensuring your sound remains pure and undisturbed.

- Under-saddle transducer paired with an omnidirectional condenser mic

I got this installed in a SCGC Vintage Artist model when I got it in 2006. I use it with a Baggs Venue DI for bluegrass gigs and backup / solo fingerstyle in a Scottish trad dance band. I've had and still have a variety of pick-ups and I'd have to say that this one is the most trouble-free and simplest to use. It takes AA batteries.
