The iBeam Active System combines LR Baggs' 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.
The iBeam preamp is made up of class A
discrete circuitry and built on our stereo Strapjack Plus. 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.
