An ultra-sensitive pickup that captures the lower voiced instruments.
The D-TAR Twin Soundspot XL is an extremely versatile pickup that captures the lower registers of such
diverse acoustic instruments as the double bass or cello, piano, harp, and sitar.
SoundSpots are ultra-sensitive piezo
crystal transducer pickups suitable for stringed and non-stringed acoustic and ethnic instruments. Unlike other dot-type transducer
pickups, each SoundSpot is hand ground to extremely fine tolerances. This process, along with the selection of materials,
produces a pickup with a very thin surface that can maintain its strength and flexibility. The result is a pickup that is
ultra-sensitive to an acoustic instrument's surface vibrations and, therefore, is extremely natural and warm sounding.
