LR Baggs Element Active Acoustic Pickup System
Acoustic players rejoice! LR Baggs has developed a new undersaddle transducer and preamp for steel string acoustic guitars called the Element Active System (EAS). The EAS pairs the Element with a discrete 'Class A' end pin preamp and includes a small removable soundhole-mounted volume control for added versatility. The EAS also includes the new 'Battery Bagg', used to unobtrusively house the battery inside the guitar.
All of LR Baggs' systems are engineered to assure great sound and hassle-free performance right out of the box. They make many different systems from simple to complex. Each is designed for a specific purpose, but they have only one quality level - the very best they know how to build. Choose the right system for your application and budget and you will enjoy its great sound and performance.
Think you know what undersaddle transducers are all about? Think again. The Element delivers performance previously unattainable from an undersaddle pickup...
The streamlined and efficient design removes every unnecessary internal component to improve the coupling between the transducer and the guitar. This substantially improves the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively and open sound with great dynamics and a delicate high end.
Current Consumption: 0.5mA
Battery Life: 1000+ hours (alkaline)
Low Cut Filter: Fixed, 12dB/Oct. @ 45Hz
Signal To Noise: -92dB, unweighted
Output Stage: Pure class A buffer
Output Level: -10dB
Output impedance: 800 ohms

"Electronics are fine but the mechanics of the bag suck"
Feature:
The failure is the battery bag adhesive does NOT stick inside my acoustic. I have seen others with this problem too.
Value:
Yeah it make my 95 DN come to life in ways I never thought possible
Desirability:
It is already installed. My guitar mechanic put the bag inside the guitar and the adhesive only lasted 2 hours. I don't want to staple it in but that may be my only choice, to a brace that is!
Sound:
Great sound better than the passive subsaddle I had. Much better than I expected!
Ease of Use:
The great sound plugged in is awesome.
Support:
have not needed it yet
