Playing a acoustic dual source, condenser mic + magnetic

    Hey guys thought I would consult some fellow Kemper users.

    The aim is to take a acoustic guitar with a magnetic sound hole pickup and a condenser mic that will need phantom power.

    Feed the dual source to some mixer/preamp?

    The mixer/preamp needs to blend and sum the two sources to an anolog out to plug straight into the Kemper head for processing.

    I thought the solution would be easily found but I am struggling,

    I might have to to add a in line phantom power provider but would like to keep it as streamlined as possible.

    Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

    Easy to do in a studio with a 2 input interface with 48V.

    Easy to do live with a 2 channel mixer with 48V.

    Hard to do with a Kemper unless you get the Radial PZ Pro-- but an expensive solution.

    Perhaps the Fishman Rare Earth Mic Blend Pickup?

    Yes this and the Seymour Duncan mag mic have definitely been considered, within my budget and straight forward.

    What I don’t like is the mic inside the guitar, just not an optional place for it to be and I already have a sound hole mag pickup and decent condenser mic to utilise, but still maybe.

    Yep this definitely knocks it out of the park, nice looking tool, not cheap but I can see other possibilities that it could be used for as well, yeah food for thought.

    ESI Neva Duo.

    Nice and inexpensive, seems to do what I want.

    My concern is that I would have to use a Y cable to pug into the Kemper and this may introduce phase cancellation with no way to combat it.

    You're mixing 2 mono signals, L and R are identical, no need for a Y cable

    If something is too complicated, then you need to learn it better

    Oh ok, so I effectively blend the signals with the gain knobs on ESI Neva and just take a Ts to Ts cable to the Kemper out of either the left or right anolouge?
