LR BAGGS IBAS
The iBeam’s MIPA award-winning design employs a matched pair of virtually weightless
film sensors that flex with the soundboard to trace your guitar’s voice much like
diaphragms in a stereo mic. A key advantage over typical bridge plate sensors is the
iBeam’s “cardioid” like response pattern that inhibits feedback and string squeak
while selectively admitting rich tone-producing vibrations. Weighing less than 1/3
of an ounce, the pickup will not alter the guitar’s natural acoustics and easily
mounts to the bridge plate with peel-and-stick adhesive.
The iBeam Active pairs the iBeam with an all-discrete Class A endpin preamp with
soundhole volume control. The sweet and ultra-quiet audiophile-grade preamp faithfully
amplifies every nuance of the pickup. Superior sound and performance is built in for
easy plug-and-play performance. An auxiliary passive channel is also available for
adding a secondary pickup.
The iBeam Active is also great for direct studio or home recording. Comparison tests
have demonstrated that the fidelity of this system is a great alternative to
studio microphones.
