Description
The Seymour Duncan Mag Mic tackles the classic acoustic amplification problem by refusing to pick just one solution. Instead, it fuses a hum-cancelling Stack magnetic pickup with an omni-directional condenser mic in a single soundhole-mounted unit, giving you two very different flavors of tone that you can blend to taste.
The magnetic side locks onto the strings themselves, delivering a warm, grounded foundation with zero hum. The mic side is what adds the air — it picks up the top’s resonance, the box’s character, and all the subtle detail that makes an acoustic sound like an acoustic rather than a piezo emulation of one. Run them together and you get a surprisingly natural, full-spectrum voice at real-world stage volume.
Setup stays simple: the magnetic pickup is always active, and a single volume control lets you dial in exactly how much microphone you want stirred into the mix. Because the magnetic signal anchors the tone, the Mag Mic shrugs off high volumes, overdrive, and even deliberate feedback without falling apart — which is exactly why lap-style players pushing their instruments hard, including Ben Harper, David Lindley, Xavier Rudd, and Cindy Cashdollar, have leaned on it for aggressive Weissenborn playing.
This listing bundles the pickup with a set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Acoustic strings, wound in phosphor bronze for a bright, warm string tone that pairs naturally with the pickup’s balanced output.
