D Activator-X Neck DP221
For
nearly 30 years, the DiMarzio® X2N® has been the top choice for all-out
power. In the last couple of years, we've developed totally new ways to
combine power with clarity, which first resulted in the D Activator™.
Now we bring you the D Activator-X™ Neck model. It features the same
striking look as the X2N®, but we've adjusted the output and tuned the
coils to different frequencies to create a powerful sound wide open
with a surprisingly clean sound when the volume control is rolled down,
even with extreme metal and high-gain amps. The Neck model is designed
to produce a highly focussed attack centered on the upper mid range,
with less magnet pull and output in order to balance perfectly with the
Bridge model. The D Activator-X™ Neck model features universal spacing
for both standard and F-spaced applications.
Recommended For:
Either position.
Tech Talk:
As you can see from the specs, the D Activator-X™ Neck Model has a lot
less output than the Bridge Model. What is often forgotten is that
strings generate much more output voltage over the neck position
because they vibrate more strongly there than over the bridge position,
so the neck and bridge models actually balance very well with each
other. The neck model also has a weaker magnetic field, so it doesn't
interfere with sustain or intonation. Both models were primarily
designed for heavy music, but they're also very good for clean, bright
sounds in split and parallel modes.
