Dean Markley DM3000 Artist Transducer Pickup for Acoustic Guitar and Instruments When it comes to a pickup, you think of vibrations. A transducer pickup senses vibrations and conveys them electronically to an amplifier or a recorder. Players of acoustic guitars often get frustrated when it comes to connecting their instrument to an amplifier or recording device. The Dean Markley DM3000 is a pickup adapter that is uniquely sensitive to deliver the best of your acoustic instrument to an amp. There are nuances to vibrations and tonality. The DM3000 is the adapter you need.

Dean Markley’s Artist pickup is a pickup which is so unique that it is patented. Housed in a maple wood housing, Artist Transducer gives you that sound that every professional artist wants. Through use of a lead differential weight the Dean Markley piezo reacts through compression rather than just bending, like all other Piezo pickups. This unique patented design gives Dean Markley’s Artist Transducer its high quality sound at a price which is affordable. Artist Transducer’s special mounting adhesive allows the Artist to be mounted and removed many, many times without hurting the finish.

The Artist pickup has many other uses besides amplifying acoustic guitars. It’s a great pickup for Violin, Cello, Stand-up-Bass, Banjo, Mandolin, Piano, Horn, or practically anything else you would ever want to amplify. We’ve even had a mechanic use one to pickup (pardon the pun) knocks and vibrations in engines. The bottom line is: if it vibrates, the Artist Pickup will catch the vibrations. You do whatever you want with them after that.
Customer Review: Pick up does not work (and looks used.)
I ordered the Dean Markley Artist Transducer Pickup from 8th Street Music through Amazon.com. It was supposed to be new. The box looked as though it had been opened. The pickup had no protective film over the adhesive that is supposed to attach it to the guitar — the adhesive itself was scratched and dried out. (Another indication that it may have been returned by another customer.) The pickup doesn’t hold onto the guitar. What’s more, even if held in place the sound is terrible and the quality of the item very poor. (Even if it had been new and had functional adhesive.) I have returned it and am waiting for a refund.

Customer Review: would you like extra noise with your sound?
Bought this for my dulcimer after looking at the rave reviews. Maybe my ears are too sensitive compared to others but this sucker hums like crazy. I’ve actually returned it twice and both have serious AC hum. I ended up getting H&K pickups from Oregon and the sound quality is so much better and the derived SN ratio is much better. I wouldn’t use this puppy for any serious recording but it does double very well as an amplified stethoscope =)
