Currently, I'm using an internal mic from the Baggs Dual Source (I yanked the Element UST) and an external condensor (Audix ADX51) and am getting away without a preamp.....just applying the 15v phantom to the internal mic and still utilizing the internal Dual Source preamp in the system (which allows for soundhole volume control)
But in most instances, using either a preamp, or a simple direct box will greatly enhance your tone....

So I understand now! I was wondering after reading this though, is XLR cables better sound quality than instrument cables because of the low independance?
