LR Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup System

Acoustic players rejoice! LR Baggs has developed a new undersaddle transducer and preamp for steel string acoustic guitars called the Element Active System (EAS). The EAS pairs the Element with a discrete "Class A" end pin preamp and includes a small removable soundhole-mounted volume control for added versatility. The EAS also includes the new "Battery Bagg", used to unobtrusively house the battery inside the guitar.

All of LR Baggs' systems are engineered to assure great sound and hassle-free performance right out of the box. They make many different systems from simple to complex. Each is designed for a specific purpose, but they have only one quality level - the very best they know how to build. Choose the right system for your application and budget and you will enjoy its great sound and performance.

Think you know what undersaddle transducers are all about? Think again. The Element delivers performance previously unattainable from an undersaddle pickup...

The streamlined and efficient design removes every unnecessary internal component to improve the coupling between the transducer and the guitar. This substantially improves the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively and open sound with great dynamics and a delicate high end.

Subject:Where has this been all my life?
Quality: As with all Baggs gear its great.
Sound: The tone of the iBeam by itself is nice. It's clean no piezo quack. It sounds like your guitar. By itself it can sound a bit boxy when strummed hard. Add the M1 and it sings. The M1 gives you back the definition and attack along with the body sound of the iBeam, and it sounds like more like a mic'd up guitar. Perfect for direct recording. If you live in a place where the acoustic environment is less then perfect the iBeam/M1 combo is just the item. Match that up with the L.R. Baggs Para/DI and your in business.
Reliability: Just had the whole system installed so I can't say. But I've had my M1 for a couple of years now and put it in and out of several guitars and never had a problem.
Overall: This is the coolest most amazing pickup in the world. I love this thing. I had mine wired in with the L.R. Baggs iMix with an L.R. Baggs M1 (also purchased here at AMS) the directions for doing this are in the box. The two together are the ticket.
Playability and Feel: It makes me want to play and record more often.
Tone: Coolest pickup design for acoustics ever.
