DiMarzio DP234 The Black Angel Passive Magnetic Soundhole Pickup for Acoustic Guitars

The Black Angel™ passive magnetic soundhole pickup lives up to its name with a sleek matte black finish that complements any acoustic guitar. This innovative pickup captures the complete tonal spectrum of your instrument from top to bottom without any frequency gaps, whilst maintaining the natural acoustic character that players demand. Unlike traditional magnetic pickups, The Black Angel™ operates without batteries and produces no electrical hum, making it an ideal choice for performers seeking authentic acoustic tone.

The pickup’s sophisticated design features dual coils positioned on a parallel axis to the strings, creating a humbucking magnetic circuit that effectively reduces unwanted finger and pick noise through acoustic isolation. Right- and left-hand dynamics are tracked with precision, responding instantly to the nuances of your playing technique. The built-in phase switch makes The Black Angel™ particularly valuable for musicians who blend multiple pickup sources, allowing seamless integration with piezo systems or microphones in dual or multi-source configurations.

Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications to your guitar, fitting soundholes of 3-1/2 inches (89 mm) and larger. The 2-1/16 inch “E”-to-“E” string spacing accommodates guitar nut dimensions from 1-11/16 to 1-3/4 inches. Each Black Angel™ comes complete with both a 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch Switchcraft endpin jack for permanent installation and a quick mount 10-foot cable with standard phone jack for immediate use.
