A2.2-29R-1470 Dual Channel Guitar Pickup w/XOM Endpin Preamp

Description

The B-Band A2.2-29R-1470 is a stereo, two pickup system with preamp and mixer. It includes both the improved B-Band 29R Under Saddle Transducer (UST) the B-Band 1470 Acoustic Soundboard Transducer (AST) pickup along with the A2.2 Stereo Endpin Preamp. A soundhole mounted volume control is included. Includes all necessary installation parts and hardware. The B-Band UST (Under-Saddle Transducer) still stands as the first transducer that alone, sounds better than many pickup / microphone combinations. An instrument equipped with a B-Band UST has enhanced countless productions, in the studio and in live performance, by being able to produce a great acoustic tone quickly. Designated as the "4th Gen UST", the new 29R UST has been stiffened for better string balance qualities, higher output, greater durability and even lower background noise. Evolution of the revolutionary B-Band UST has been prompted by the many knowledgeable and fantastic artists that B-Band works with. This significantly updated UST is a testament to that spirit. The updated 29R pickup now has ribs for stiffening, which improves stability and frequency response. The newly designed B-Band AST, with a bigger pickup surface (14mm/.55" x 70mm/2.75"), acts to capture all the detailed acoustics of the instrument without sounding boxy. It has all the advantages of a microphone, without the negatives of feedback and positioning. The B-Band A2.2 endpin preamp with XOM is the future of acoustic guitar sound reproduction design. This dual input / mono output onboard preamp is set up for use with the acclaimed combination of UST and AST transducers. These, along with the convenient onboard remote XOM mix and volume controls, that mount just inside the edge of the soundhole without modification, bring the best of both transducers' characteristics together resulting in a sound that is true to the guitar's unique voice. Review: Great, versatile - Great, versatile, all encompassing pick-up. I deliberated for a long time on purchasing this pickup - and now that I have it, I wish I had bought it long ago! Review: It sounds great in all three - I have this pickup in 3 stage guitars, my Gibson J45 Gibson, J-100 Xtra, and a Martin D17M. It sounds great in all three! I would highly recommend this pickup to any pro as it a great sounding dual source pickup! I gig over 300 gigs a year and haven't had a problem with one yet. The only thing worth mentioning is the install should be done by a good tech.
