I've been running my 4 guitars with dual source K&K mics (plus Pure Mini) with a Raven (+9 volt phantom) and Solstice (+15 volt phantom) for more than 10 years now. I even ran my K&K Dual Source rigs with a Headway EDB-1 preamp for a year which supplied +18 volt phantom. I powered the K&K internal mics with a custom wired cable from the XLR connector not the line in connector. They worked the same with all the preamps, and sounded great no matter which preamp I plugged them into. The engineer who wired the custom cable for me said he suspects they will work at a much higher voltage without issue.

The first input on the Solstice is a stereo jack that splits the signal between the two channels. You could also buy a stereo Y adaptor for your stereo cord, that splits the inputs and plug each one into the two different channels.

Thanks for that info. I was trying to wrap my head around how the Solstice would be able to split a signal coming in from only 1 input. Seems like one well designed piece of kit. Too bad they are discontinued and rare as hen's teeth now. Still waiting to hear from someone on the Seymour Duncan forum as to when the new models will be available.

Both ¼" jacks on the front of the DTAR Solstice are TRS (stereo). |

Does anyone know where to buy a D-Tar Solstice preamp at this stage? I'd figure there'd be some internet retailer with a NOS unit still hanging around since it sounds like sometime in April is when they discontinued these. I need one sooner than later and I'll be ****ed if I have to buy that crappy looking K&K Quantum pre-amp.

Do both jacks have phantom power? Yikes mines at church maybe theirs a button?

It's a rather nice unit and certainly worth the price new or used. |
