TRADE PACK – NOT FOR RETAIL SALE Instore / Luthier use only *Contact National Music for your buy price* Element Active System Advanced Undersaddle Pickup With Unrivaled Dynamic Range Unlike typical undersaddle acoustic guitar pickups that are dependent on string compression for their sound, the Element was engineered to mirror the soundboards 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 guitars most delicate nuances. Tracking the motion of the top rather than a direct string attack suppresses quack caused by compression and unlocks the Elements unrivaled dynamic range. The pickups minimalist construction lessens any influence on the acoustic properties and creates an intimate coupling between the pickup and guitar for the highest fidelity possible. Element Active SystemVTC-N (Volume and Tone Control Classical) The EAS-VTC-N builds on the strengths of the EAS-C With the addition of a treble tone control and a special low frequency compression circuit. Delivering the same dynamically rich, high fidelity sound as the steel string version, the Element Active System Classical is specifically voiced to articulate the frequency response of nylon string instruments.
