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 thousandths 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
EAS-VTC builds on the strengths of the EAS with the addition of a treble tone
control and a special low frequency compression circuit. The LF compressor
tames low end thump and mimics the actual dynamic response of the guitar for
enhanced realism.
