DiMarzio DP219BK D Activator Neck guitar pickup

General

In 2006, DiMarzio researched the most popular active humbuckers on the market. The aim was to recreate the best aspects of these elements without the disadvantages of active elements. These disadvantages are that active pickups often have a somewhat cold sound, are less dynamic and require batteries to operate. The result is the DiMarzio DP219BK D Activator Neck. This guitar element delivers a full, rich sound with tight bass and a clear attack. Unlike most active humbuckers, the D Activator is highly sensitive and dynamic. The best way to describe the D Activator's sound is big, bright and opden with a surprisingly good string-to-string balance.

Bright and full

There is a big difference between an element that sounds bright and an element that sounds thin. A pickup with a thin sound sounds thin in the high registers and has little body in the mid to low registers. The DiMarzio DP219BK D Activator Neck is designed to give a sparkling bright sound that will in no way sound thin or ileal. Although the D Activator Neck is made for the neck position, it is also possible to install the pickup in the bridge position, if you are looking for popping and powerful sound. The D Activator needs potentiometers rated at least 250k, but 500k is the most common.
