B-Band ACOUSTIC SOUNDBOARD TRANSDUCER 1470 (AST) ACOUSTIC GUITAR

Advanced redevelopment at B-Band brings a totally new AST (Acoustic Soundboard Transducer) 1470. A vast improvement in controlling the AST transducers own resonance frequency makes for a unprecedented natural acoustic sound, even at high volume levels. Also, this AST is compatible with all B-Band onboard preamps (except 2150 preamp)! The newly designed B-Band AST, with a bigger pickup surface (14 mm x 70 mm), acts to capture all the detailed acoustics of the instrument without sounding boxy. It has all the advantages of a microphone, without the negatives of feedback and positioning. Positioning of the AST is not critical making installation fast. The AST attaches to the guitar's bridge plate with a special two sided tape. String balance is always even. The AST is an ultra-thin flexible and rugged constant structure all the way to the preamp. Connection to the preamp is an easy "plug in" without soldering. (* Patented, patents pending.) AST Features: * Condenser acoustic soundboard transducer * Operation based on a worldwide-patented elastic electret film * Size 1470 fits to a wide variety of steel and nylon string acoustic guitars * Reproduces original tone without affecting the instrument acoustically * Ultra thin and light * High gain before feedback * Wide dynamic range * Easy installation
