Seymour Duncan Wavelength™ Duo Steel String String Pickup

Seymour Duncan Wavelength™ Duo Steel String Pickup

The Wavelength Duo delivers a dual-source amplification system that captures both the articulate transducer response and ambient mic character in a single, compact unit. This hybrid design excels for gigging players needing versatility across live venues and studio sessions, offering independent control over piezo and condenser elements without the bulk of traditional multi-pickup systems.

Dual-Source Architecture

The system pairs an under-saddle piezoelectric transducer with an omnidirectional condenser microphone mounted in a shock-absorbing visco-elastic polymer cradle. The piezo element provides consistent string-to-string response on stage, while the mic captures natural resonance and room tone—essential for adapting to different venues. Full copper shielding minimizes noise and interference, keeping your signal clean even in electrically hostile environments.

Power & Control

Two AA batteries power an 18-volt preamp delivering twice the dynamic range of standard 9-volt systems, so harder playing and aggressive transients won't push you into distortion. Dual lightweight, low-profile knobs control master volume and microphone volume independently, while stereo wiring allows tip/ring separation of pickup and mic signals for maximum mixing flexibility—ideal for soundcheck adjustments or working with a monitor engineer.

Key Features

• Under-saddle piezoelectric transducer with unitary piezo element for even string response
• Omnidirectional condenser microphone with dedicated volume control
• Microphone mounted in special absorptive visco-elastic polymer shock mount
• Full coverage copper shielding on pickup assembly
• 18-volt, low-noise, high-input impedance preamp
• Two AA battery power supply
• Twice the dynamic range of typical 9-volt preamp systems
• Two lightweight, low-profile control knobs for master and mic volume
• Stereo wiring option with tip/ring connections for channel separation
• Microphone channel with two stages of low frequency roll-off

The Wavelength Duo stands out for players who demand transparent amplification with the flexibility to blend acoustic character and piezo punch in real time, whether running straight into a board or monitoring through a wedge.
