Pickups For Acoustic Instruments

B-BAND XOM PICKUP SYSTEM Photo
Unlike most dual signal acoustic pickup systems which utilize a transducer along with a microphone, this system utilizes two transducers; an under-saddle element and a soundboard element. The dual signal goes to an onboard 2-channel preamp with soundhole mounted volume and blend controls. The mixed signal then passes to a standard 1/4" endpin-output jack. This system produces a strong signal with a wide dynamic range. A very straightforward and effective system. Available for guitars with either a 3/32" or 1/8" saddle width.
