D-TAR Solstice (2-channel mic preamp)

D-TAR (Duncan-Turner Acoustic Research)

This brand was founded by Seymour Duncan, a name known to all guitarists, and audio design master Rick Turner.
Rick Turner was apparently one of the founding members of Alembic.

The D-TAR Solstice is highly regarded among acoustic guitar players,
especially known for being favored by fingerstyle guitarist Andy McKee.
You can hear its sound in the video below:

It consists of two channels,
allowing you to connect piezo/contact microphones,
dynamic microphones, and condenser microphones (with phantom power).

Each channel can be output independently,
or you can send the signal after mixing it in the final master section.
This allows for separate outputs for the PA to handle easily during live performances,
or for you to achieve your desired sound for cafe gigs.

It offers considerable flexibility and can likely handle most situations.

Regarding the signal circuit, please note that
independent outputs do not affect the master section (FX and Vol).
Most terminals should be recognizable, but the insertion points on the back
are for CH1/CH2 respectively and are send/return terminals for connecting to external effects using a stereo Y-cable, etc.

The sound is subjective, but I find it to have a woody character.
When you increase the treble, it extends with a xylophone-like presence.
The low frequencies are rounded,
but not muddy.
I suspect it's specialized for acoustic instruments.

This is a used product from the 2000s, so
there may be some minor scratches and slight crackling when turning the knobs,
but please understand this in advance.
It is in working condition without any issues affecting performance.

There is no box, but
it is an authentic product imported through the domestic distributor at the time.
It has been stored at home and has no pet or tobacco odors.
The item will be shipped from Kanagawa Prefecture on a cash-on-delivery basis.
Thank you for your consideration.
