DTAR Solstice Acoustic Guitar Preamp

Solstice is a high quality two channel preamp mixer that blends virtually any type of sound source. The low-noise hybrid circuitry and internally adjustable gain from 0 to 24db make it suitable for both live and studio use. Solstice is the perfect solution for musicians looking to live-mix up to four sources such as piezo pickups, magnetic pickups, standard mics, and high output condenser mics.

Features
1/4 in. and XLR inputs on each channel: Allows either a microphone or pickup input on either channel

Balanced XLR mic input with true gain control for optimum headroom and lowest noise: Very low noise and high common mode rejection ratio. Utilizes discrete hybrid circuitry as in high end mixing consoles

Full 3 way level / clip indicator: Helps set optimum gain for best headroom and signal to noise ratio

Phase reverse switch: Helps control acoustic feedback

Channel effects loop with send and return jacks: Can be used as independent signal output or as insertion point for external signal

Mute switch: Allows complete shut off of rig

Tuner output (unaffected by mute switch): Allows quiet tuning

Stereo input jack: Allows access to both channels with one stereo cable

External wall mount power supply: Allows AC operation

High quality components: Extremely low noise and distortion, audiophile quality sound

Mic stand adapter available as an option: Useful for on-stage applications that use a microphone stand. Allows the performer to have full access to the front panel while facing the audience
