Did you ever wonder how the best acoustic musicians get that great
sound night after night in every venue? One of the secrets they've
learned is that their signature sound not only includes their instruments,
but also their pickups, microphones, cables, and the all-important pre-
amplification and equalization stages of the signal chain. Duncan-Turner
Acoustic Research ("D-TAR") is dedicated to providing the electronic links
between your strings and your listeners' ears so you can get a consistent-
ly great sound under virtually any circumstance, day in, day out.
D-TAR is a company founded by musicians who want
to make the kind of gear our fellow musicians deserve.
we've spent a lot of time listening to and playing fine
instruments as well as amplification and recording
gear, and we are dedicated to building the best sound-
ing gear with the most useful features that we can. we
would like to hear your comments on how you use your
solstice Mixer/Blender preamp, and hope the music you
make with it fulfills your dreams.
