Dual Source -    The Dual Source System is a miniature onboard microphone/pickup mixing system that features all-discrete class A circuitry. It seamlessly combines a high-tech Ribbon Transducer™ with a high quality FET condenser capsule for an affordable, simple-to-use, one- cord mix.

The Pickup: The Ribbon Transducer is a thin, flexible undersaddle microphone for acoustic instruments. The high-tech Ribbon Transducer is comprised of a layer of micro thin polymer sensor material laminated between layers of Kapton and then laser trimmed. The key characteristic that sets this transducer apart from the pack is that the sensor material is configured to be responsive to vibration but not to pressure. Consequently, there are no limits to its dynamic range and it effortlessly tracks the vibrations of the guitar top. And, because it does not respond to pressure, the dry, stringy sound characteristic of pressure sensitive pickups is eliminated. When you experience it you will have a hard time believing it's really a pickup.

The Microphone: The Dual Source mic is a high quality omni-directional FET condenser capsule encased in a small block of acoustically transparent foam. It mounts easily on the back of the inside of the guitar with Velcro. It is designed to use the entire back surface as a "pressure zone." This minimizes the effect of standing waves and hot spots inside of the guitar. Consequently, the sound is closer to that of an outside microphone than with other internal mic placements.

Also...   The Dual Source is equipped with a newly designed thumbwheel control (shown in picture below) which mounts with double sided adhesive tape inconspicuously inside your soundhole.  It adjusts the overall volume and also will allow you to "mix" the mic signal.  Also included is the "Battery Bagg" for secure battery storage.
The UST is available in narrow (.090"), wide (.120") formats.  $209.00

iBeam Active -    The iBeam Active System combines patented bridge plate transducer with an all-discrete class A endpin preamp that enables you to simply "plug-in-and-play". The user-installable iBeam reproduces the natural tone of an acoustic guitar while maintaining perfect string balance and providing full dynamic range.

The iBeam itself is the heart of the system and weighs only 1/3rd oz. This revolutionary bridge plate transducer easily sticks to the bridge plate on the inside of the guitar and does not affect the acoustic tone of the guitar in any way. The iBeam is microphonic enough to hear the rich (but correct) texture of finger squeak and top tapping, but is resistant to feedback and gives you excellent amplified sound without a hint of piezo quack. Included with each iBeam is a placement jig that allows you to install the pickup in minutes and get the ideal placement for the transducer inside the guitar.  Also included is the "Battery Bagg" for secure battery storage.

Pre-tuned to deliver that great L.R. Baggs performance from the iBeam in any situation, it is ultra-quiet and faithfully amplifies the sound and dynamics of the iBeam. There is even a second passive channel available if you would like to add a magnetic or undersaddle pickup to compliment the iBeam    

On a personal note...  This is my personal favorite of the entire Baggs lineup.  I simply can't say enough about how natural this transducer sounds.  This is arguably one of the better units available to make your plugged-in performance sound "acoustic!"  $139.00     

Element Active - 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.

The Element Active System pairs the Element undersaddle transducer with a pre-contoured all-discrete class A endpin preamp and includes a small, removable soundhole-mounted volume control for added convenience and versatility. The entire system is designed to install easily and features plug-and-play performance. Also included is the "Battery Bagg" for secure battery storage.  The element active will fit both narrow and wide format saddle slots.  .  $109.00     

iMix - The iMix combines the award-winning iBeam and the high-performance Element with a miniature all-discrete class A FET preamp/stereo mixer. With the acclaimed fidelity of the iBeam and the presence and feedback resistance of the Element, the versatile iMix is ideal for any venue. And with its adjustable mid contour controls for both the iBeam and Element -- and a low cut control for the iBeam -- perfected tone is available for any guitar.  The  soundhole-mounted dual controller is a big advantage for stage use. It attaches non-destructively to the underside of the soundhole, and puts master volume and mix controls at your fingertips.

The iMix is engineered for guitarists that play in diverse situations and environments: the multiple-award-winning iBeam delivers fidelity comparable to the world's best studio microphones, while the Element offers presence and stability to accommodate the demands stage use, such as cutting through a loud mix. The all-discrete class A preamp/EQ is built with quality components designed to naturally support the pickups' unique characteristics, and features contour controls that give you the power to breathe even more life into your sound.     $229.00     

iMix ONBOARD          iBeam ONBOARD         Element ONBOARD

 These systems are specifically designed to incorporate the iBeam transducer (iBeam onboard), the Element transducer (Element Onboard), or both transducers (iMix Onboard)  as a direct retrofit for the Fishman Prefix system.  These are designed to fit the same "barn door" cutout with no further modification to the instrument.

The iBeam and Element onboard systems feature volume, bass, treble, notch filter and phase inversion controls, while the iMix features volume, bass, treble, phase inversion as well as a mix control to dial between the two transducers. 

iMix Onboard:  $259.00     Element Onboard:  $179.00    iBeam Onboard:  199.00 

M1 Active Soundhole Pickup - The M1 Active takes the M1 Pickup  to a new level of performance and convenience. The built-in all class A electronics eliminate the need for any external preamps and makes the M1 Active compatible with any outboard equipment. And the new volume control gives you fingertip access in any performing situation.

The M1 is a humbucking pickup -- with a twist. In a common stacked humbucker, the second, lower coil cancels hum, but doesn't contribute anything positive to the sound. In fact, it can muddy the sound of the main coil. The second coil is unlocked and allows it to make a positive sonic contribution while maintaining the pure open sound of a single coil -- but without the hum.

In the M1, the hum-canceling coil is suspended under the main coil by a tuned support that allows it to move in three dimensions. The primary coil moves with the guitar top and creates a body signal in the suspended secondary coil. This brings the M1 to life, with string and body sound all in one. It's like having a dual pickup system in your soundhole.

This pickup is powered by a 3V lithium battery which yield over 1000 hours of playing time!  Complete with endpin jack and gold strap button.  $169.00     

Para Acoustic  D.I. -  The Para Acoustic D.I. is a studio-quality direct box, featuring a five-band equalizer with tunable notch and midrange controls, adjustable gain and phase inversion. The proprietary Quasi-Passive EQ circuitry is totally transparent and allows control over voicing without sacrificing tone -- a big advance over conventional equalizers. In short, the Para D.I. Is engineered to bring out the best in any pickup.

On yet another a personal note...  This piece of gear has been a priceless part of my live setup for quite some time.  Whether you're playing into a large PA, guitar amplifier, or some horrible house-system..  this tiny little box will give you a significant amount of sonic control!  $159.00     

NEW!!    LB6  With BONE & LB6 preamp -   The LB6 pickup is one of the most well-known and often used L.R. Baggs products.  It has been in  production for over 20 years, and continues to be the pickup of choice for such large-venue performers as Vince Gill, Phil Keaggy, Kathy Mattea and James Taylor.   

There are three key features that are unique to the LB6. First, the pickup itself is a saddle that has six individual sensors cast right into it. Because the sensors are an integral part of the connection between the strings and guitar body, maximum sensitivity and signal transfer is guaranteed.

Second, the sensors are responsive to vibration as well as pressure. This blends the natural warmth of the body vibrations with the presence and attack of the strings.

Third, the LB6 contains an exclusive feedback-inhibiting circuit. This makes it the most feedback-resistant non-magnetic acoustic guitar pickup available. If you play loud but still want to sound acoustic, you owe it to yourself to check out the LB6.

Available in bone only through Custom Saddles and topped with my premium, hand-selected blanks, it will enhance the tonal characteristics making it more responsive and allowing the overtone and harmonic content to be more accurately duplicated, all while maintaining exceptional balance. . 

The LB6 can be used passively with the standard "strapjack plus" endpin jack or with the LB6 active preamp, which is specifically designed for use with this pickup.  The Preamp comes with the 9V battery holder and is equipped with a volume control that conveniently mounts inside your soundhole.

The LB6/bone comes as shown, ready to shape and install into any instrument that utilized the 1/8" saddle slot.  (luthier installation recommended).

LB6/bone:  $105.00      LB6 preamp:  $65.00     LB6 Strapjack Plus (passive endpin) $15.00
