DUAL

The Dual System is the most important Schertler product in the acoustic guitar amplification domain. The Dual combines the two main Schertler technologies, the electrostatic under-saddle transducer (BLUESTiCK) and the electro-dynamic transducer (DYN).

The BLUESTiCK, in combination with the D-DYN, enables the player to create a wide variety of tones. Either pickup may be selected alone, or a blend of the two may be created. The flexibility of the Dual system is complemented by its simplicity; a double rotary controller is mounted with double-sided tape inside the sound hole. The black control is used to adjust the overall volume level, while the white control is used to adjust the blend between the BLUESTiCK and the D-DYN.


What about the installation?


The installation is exactly the same as for the regular BLUESTiCK, and the C-DYN that is mounted inside the guitar, below the bridge on the Bridge Plate. The C-Dyn pick-up is attached with the flat side mounted to the bridge plate - the cover of the C-DYN faces the inside of the guitar. The Dual requires no visual modification of your instrument – no more unsightly control panels, volume knobs, and so on.

« …WITH THE SCHERTLER DYN-G I FINALLY HAVE A WARM AND NATURAL ACOUSTIC SOUND. THE DYN-G WORKS GREAT ON BIG FESTIVAL STAGES WHERE I NEED TO PLAY LOUD AND AVOID FEEDBACK AND DISTORTION PROBLEMS…»
