When we designed the "Dualie" pickup
approximately eight years ago it was designed to be used on acoustic and
classical guitars.......And then a funny thing happened: musicians discovered
that they could stick the Dualie onto just about anything and that it worked
and sounded great. Basically, if you have an acoustic instrument with a
soundboard, then the Dualie will work well on it.
The
"Dualie"is a twin element surface
mount piezo pickup. It is approximately 1/2" thick, 1 inch wide, and 2 inches
long....about the size of what used to be a 10 cent box of wooden matches.
This pickup has been designed to operate
properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp
if you are running into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).
Through the use of twin piezo elements we have been able to greatly enhance this pickups'
resistance to feedback, particularly when compared to other surface mount transducer
pickups.
It
is light in weight (a couple of ounces), and does not inhibit top movement or vibration.
Each pickup is handbuilt and tested in our workshop to ensure good
sound. As well, each pickup is warranted for a period of two yearsfrom date of purchase to the original purchaser.
Dualie Inside'R
For
those of you who wish to put your pickup inside your instrument:
The Dualie
Inside'R comes prewired to a take-apart endpin jack.
All that needs to be done is to drill a hole in the end block to
push the jack through. The endpin jack tightens securely from the outside
and provides secure attachment for your strap.
For
inside installation, the Dualie comes with a special high stick putty that will keep the
pickup in place without any difficulty for years.
For those of you who wish
put your pickup on the outside of your instrument:
The Dualie Outside'R may be
used on any small to medium sized soundboard such as on
a steel string 6 or 12 and on any classical. The pickup attaches quickly
and easily with our special supplied low residue putty for outside mounting.
The DualieOutside'R comes
complete with a 10 foot Mogami shielded cable and a standard 1/4"heavy duty
output plug and is ready to plug right into your amp.

A note
about preamps, DI's, mixers, boards: This pickup is
designed to work properly running from our pickup into any
normal amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).
Due to design factors inherent in P.A. mixers and boards (and these
vary considerably), if you are running straight into a P.A., then a
Preamp/ DI will most likely
be necessary to boost line signal strength
and lower the impedance so that the mixer
receives a proper signal.
