LR Baggs EAS-VTC-N Element Active Pickup System Volume & Tone Control for Classical Guitar

Advanced Undersaddle Pickup with Unrivalled Dynamic Range

Experience a new level of acoustic performance with the Element Active System. Unlike traditional undersaddle pickups that rely on string compression, the Element is engineered to capture the actual movement of the guitar's soundboard as you play. At its core, a flexible film sensor—only 2 thousandths of an inch thick—picks up the most delicate nuances of your instrument. 

By tracking the motion of the top rather than just the string attack, the Element effectively minimises unwanted "quack" sounds caused by compression, unlocking an unparalleled dynamic range. Its minimalist design ensures minimal influence on the guitar's acoustic properties, creating an intimate coupling between the pickup and the instrument for the highest fidelity possible.

Element Active System VTC-N (Volume and Tone Control for Classical)

Building on the strengths of the EAS-C, the EAS-VTC-N introduces a treble tone control and a specialised low-frequency compression circuit. This system delivers the same dynamically rich, high-fidelity sound as the steel-string version, but is specifically voiced to articulate the unique frequency response of nylon-string instruments. Elevate your playing experience and unleash the full potential of your guitar with the Element Active System.
