A Seymour Duncan reference for amplifying an acoustic guitar without altering its character
The Mag Mic SA-6 (active version) is one of the most appreciated solutions for capturing, in amplification, the full character of a steel-string folk guitar: the precise attack of a soundhole pickup, enriched by an internal microphone that captures the resonance and "breathing" of the body. The result: a sound closer to your guitar, not just your strings.
For guitarists who want a ready-to-play sound, both live and in the studio
Ideal if you alternate strumming, arpeggios, picking, and percussive passages: the magnetic pickup provides excellent definition and dynamic range, while the condenser microphone adds depth and dimension. By adjusting the mix, you can emphasize precision for a band setting or open up the sound for a duo, solo, or a more "studio" direct recording.
Active dual sensor, hum-canceling, and integrated controls
The Mag Mic combines a vertical Stack humbucker (50/60 Hz hum-canceling) and an omnidirectional condenser microphone, all in an easy-to-install soundhole format. Adjustable pole pieces facilitate string-to-string balance, and the active electronics allow connection with a standard instrument cable to an acoustic amplifier, DI box, mixer, or pedalboard. The black finish discreetly blends with most guitars.
