Very good value.
I used this to replace a Fishman Prefix Plus-T unit in a Carvin Cobalt concert acoustic. The Fishman unit just conked out after 5 years. Too bad; it was a very nice pre-amp.
Surprisingly, I didn't lose any tone at all with the Dean Markley ProMag Plus. This pickup had excellent articulation and clarity across all 6 strings. Very nice, balanced tone. I liked it so much that I hard-wired the pickup to the existing end pin jack and discarded the Fishman unit. Don't get me wrong-the Fishman was great, but it was dead and I didn't feel like shelling out for a replacement. I use an out-board volume and effects pedal anyway, so I can do fine without the expensive bells & whistles on the Fishman.
This is a very fine pickup, and yes, it does say 'Dean Markley' on it, but I note that a lot of guitars say 'Fender' and 'Gibson' on the headstocks. Is that any reason to slam them? Especially if you note that you don't own the pickup, and haven't even used it! Gimme a break...
I use it and highly recommend it.
For the money, it's hard to beat.

When I got this pickup I was pretty excited. It was intended to replace a microphone in recording, in order to knock out the noise from nearby traffic and so on. The design is nice, providing a tethered jack rather than plug (this was why I chose it over the "woody").
However, when I actually plugged it in, I received low output and high noise. The noise isn't so bad if the other ac units used around it are turned off but, my multitracker uses 12vac so you see the problem there. I admit the tone was not phenomenal but that's understandable considering the price. It looks really nice. I even kind of like the logo that everyone seems to be complaining about. But, bottom line the performance is lacking.

Comments about Dean Markley ProMag Plus XM Acoustic Guitar Pickup:
Well, it is easy to use and it goes in fine. But it is REALLY quiet. I almost sent it back because i though it was broken. I guess if you hook it up to a mixer and blast it before putting it into the main amp. Or if you are maybe doing a cheap recording.

Comments about Dean Markley ProMag Plus XM Acoustic Guitar Pickup:
I had previously been using a Lawrence pickup for my twelve string guitar and it was functional for the purpose. The biggest drawback was the extra long cable from the pickup to the 1/4" male jack at the other end. I was always tripping over it during performance and pulling it out of the sound hole.
The Markley pickup provides great tones while having a more practical cord with a 1/4" female connector that attaches to the strap knob at the end of the guitar. While I have had it for just a short time, I am looking forward to many years of continued use.

Comments about Dean Markley ProMag Plus XM Acoustic Guitar Pickup:
Sounds good and would sell better without the Graffiti covering the entire pickup with letters bigger than the one on my guitar. Ugly as sin so I sanded it off . To people saying I miss the point and it's all about sound well look at your car,truck,motorcycle or wife and say that.

Comments about Dean Markley ProMag Plus XM Acoustic Guitar Pickup:
I have several acoustic guitars that, on occasion, I had wished I could amplify and use in a group setting. This pickup does the trick. I can use it on nearly every guitar (larger sound holes can be a problem) and I'm ready to go in moments. Well worth the price....and it's not bad looking either!
Comments about Dean Markley ProMag Plus XM Acoustic Guitar Pickup:
I used this pickup at two different open mics this weekend. It worked very well. At one it was plugged into a preamp and for the other it wasn't. Some have complained that they can't get enough volume from pickups of this type. The simple and inexpensive solution is to use an equalizer pedal or similar device with a 9 volt battery as a preamp. This will boost the signal, give you a master volume control, plus allow you to tweak your sound. I suspect that a chorus pedal woukd work just as well...
It's a very simple and attractive design. Installed very easily.
It seems to be well made and looks like it will last.
This is the most inexpensive way to amplify your acoustic guitar.
Comments about Dean Markley ProMag Plus XM Acoustic Guitar Pickup:
This pickup installs in seconds. The chord secures to the bottom strap button and is long enough to not get in the way of playing. It's a must for someone who doesn't want to alter their guitar by drilling holes. All the strings ring out crisp and clear and there is no background noise. Wish I had picked one up years ago.
This pickup is easy to install and remove. No holes to drill and the wire does not get in the way of playing.
Dean Markley lives up to their reputation with this very popular pickup. The acoustic reproduction with minor EQ adjustments provides a true guitar sound .
Made of wood, the Pro Mag Plus compliments my acoustic guitars in appearance and captures their tones in all ranges. Compared to more expensive acoustic pickups, it gets the job done at a very affordable price.
Comments about Dean Markley ProMag Plus XM Acoustic Guitar Pickup:
Overall this is a good pickup with several nice features. i really like the short cable with a jack that attaches to the end pin. I gave it an 8 because it doesn't stay where I place it. I have a Yamaha guitar and the foam meant to hold the pickup in the soundhole is too soft to solidly hole allows the pickup to move around once in place. Also, if you are not aware, this is a single coil pickup which could be sensitive to hum in some situations.
The end pin jack is a great feature. It allows you to leave the pickup on the guitar while in the case, if you wish. I usually don't leave the pickup on for long periods to avoid possible damage to the finish. I have a couple of other pickups with longer cords and 1/4 plugs but they have to be removed before putting guitar away between sessions.
Very well made. The end pin jack fits my end pin very tightly so there's no risk that it might come off during play. I have noticed that the foam that holds the pickup in the soundhole may be too spongy, allowing the pickup to shift after placement.
Another winner from the SDotD.
