Professional installation recommended. Also, this is a passive pickup and will perform best when used with a preamp.

Wires are routed to a standard 1/4" endpin jack. Passive system, preamp highly recommended. Professional installation highly recommended. ($81.00) ]]> Thu, 23 May 2013 20:00:00 -0400 http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/KK14.htm http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/KK14.htm Designed for stringed instruments with a floating bridge, and especially good for Maccaferri & Selmer style guitars, acoustic archtop guitars, bouzoukis & octave mandolins; and even cellos. The pickup is only 6/1000 of an inch thin and measures 1 3/4" x 3/4" total. It is a compression pickup because it is especially suited for wedged applications under the floating bridge. The pickup element is also capable of transmitting sound like a soundboard transducer, so the best tone is achieved if the pickup is mounted so it is partially wedged and partially open on the soundboard. The system also includes an endpin jack which can be mounted internally or externally as you prefer, and the "Definity outboard preamp" which focuses and strengthens the sound prior to sending the signal to an amp or mixing board.

The mic easily mounts on the underside of the bridge plate with the signal routed through a barrel preamp-endpin jack. The signal is processed onboard to minimize feedback issues and maintain a sweet mic sound with shifting dynamics. There is also a presence control to optimize high-frequency response for your guitar and a soundhole-mounted volume control. The "Lyric" is a welcomed addition to Baggs "Tru-Mic" family.

Controls include volume, gain, bass, mid, treble and phase. 1/4" input, 1/4" line-out and active balance XLR out. Creates a strong focused signal to send to the power amp or board. Runs on 9V battery or phantom power.

This is a braided element, not to be confused with the Fishman Acoustic Matrix element.

Mounts on underside of the top with self-adhesive strip. A very effective pickup. Includes endpin jack and mounting instructions. Professional installation recommended. ($110.00) ]]> Tue, 16 Oct 2012 20:00:00 -0400 http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/UF07.htm http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/UF07.htm The ACB banjo pickup is an active, dual-coil magnetic pickup using Alnico magnets as the core material. The pole pieces compensate for string balance for any variety of string gauges. The innovative design has the coils of the ACB spaced apart from one another creating acoustic "chambers". These "gaps" allow sound waves inside the banjo to resonate around the coil walls which add an acoustic quality that has not been achieved in a magnetic pickup until now. Whether recording or performing live, the ACB produces true accurate banjo tone that is noise free. Attaches to coordinator rods and flange. Package includes: 3 acoustic "plugs"; mounting brackets; 2 shim steel strips (for optional head sensors); 2 lithium coin-cell batteries (6 volts); allen wrench.

It attaches first to your strap and then to the strap-button-jack on your instrument. The nylon clip then locks the strap-keeper in place so that it cannot come off the button. These are designed for the smaller diameter jacks found on factory install systems used by Yamaha, Takamine, Ovation and Taylor Expresssion system, but not the more typical endpin jack buttons used by Fishman, L.R.Baggs and others. For those see item SK1. Indispensable. ($9.99) ]]> Wed, 12 Sep 2012 20:00:00 -0400 http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/SK2.htm http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/SK2.htm
