Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
Seymour Duncan's Multi-Source system is a solid choice for acoustic players wanting a natural, amplified tone. The piezo and mic combination delivers a balanced sound, and the onboard filters are a lifesaver on stage. It’s especially well-suited for singer-songwriters and acoustic guitarists needing a reliable and versatile system.

Frequently Asked Questions
The omnidirectional mic captures a wider range of room ambience, offering a more natural sound, but can also pick up more stage noise if not carefully positioned.
Seymour Duncan has tuned the piezo to be relatively smooth and balanced, avoiding the harshness often associated with under-saddle pickups; however, individual string balance may require tweaking.
No, the bass and treble adjustments are made via internal trim pots, requiring access to the preamp cavity with a small screwdriver – a minor inconvenience for fine-tuning.
