Martin HD-28 With Trance Audio Amulet M Dual Mono M-VT Tone Control Demo
Hi Folks, the following track demonstrates the effect of the Tone Control on the output of the Trance Audio Amulet M Dual Mono M-VT Acoustic Guitar System. NO EXTERNAL EQ OR EFFECTS WERE USED IN MAKING THIS RECORDING.
Signal Chain: 2014 Martin HD-28 with Trance Audio Amulet M Dual Mono M-VT strummed with BlueChip TD35 Pick > 10-Foot-Long Mogami Gold Instrument Cable > PreSonus Studio 192 Digital Audio Interface with PreSonus Studio One DAW outputting one input channel to a 24/48 Mono Wav File. First section of the track is The Trance Amulet M Dual Mono with Tone Control at FULL TREBLE which is the full tonal-range of the system with the Amulet transducers installed at their current locations; Second section of track is with Tone Control at FULL BASS; Third section of track is Tone Control BALANCED tonal position as heard through AKG K240 Studio Headphones. This Tonewheel position can vary slightly depending on personal taste, the guitar in which the M Dual Mono M-VT is installed, and the room acoustics of a venue. Remember: 10 to 15 feet of air between a loudspeaker and an audience will make any pickup/preamp system sound different (likely better) than a direct recording heard through headphones.

I liked the third version the best. Set flat. That's the best posssible scenario.
I agree with your last statement about the positive effects of speaker and air. The Trance's strength lies in the live performance setting, not the direct recording. I can say the same for the Dazzo. When I used the Lyric, I thought it sounded pretty good through headphones but it was a little lacking for live performance. I had to EQ the heck out of it. Whenever you can start flat on your EQ and have it sound good that's a good place to be.

You're right! Both the Trance and Dazzo systems start out at a pretty well-balanced state and need very little EQ to get them to sound good!

The recording sounds excellent through the PA speakers. Thanks for posting. I contend that it is the best available analog pickup I've used.

I agree that the "balanced" sample could use a tad more bass, at least with my Sony headphones. If I had to choose between full treble and full bass, however, I'd go with the treble. The full treble sounds like a usable amplified guitar sound to me. The full bass doesn't.

As a soundman, I especially dislike those VT controls which give a huge mid cut at one end of their range. I find that tone especially difficult to deal with. |
