Unlike typical undersaddle acoustic guitar pickups that are dependent
on string compression for their sound, the Element was engineered to
mirror the soundboard’s actual movement as you play. At the heart of the
pickup, a flexible film sensor only 2 thousands of an inch thick picks
up the guitar’s most delicate nuances. Tracking the motion of the top
rather than a direct string attack suppresses “quack” caused by
compression and unlocks the Element’s unrivaled dynamic range. The
pickup’s minimalist construction lessens any influence on the acoustic
properties and creates an intimate coupling between the pickup and
guitar for the highest fidelity possible.
The
patented one-size-fits-all Element reproduces impressive body
sensitivity and articulation. It also has the greatest dynamic range of
any undersaddle pickup available. The Element Active System features an
all-discrete Class A endpin preamp and a soundhole-mounted volume
control for easy access. Also included is our battery bag for secure
battery retention.
