LR Baggs iBeam Active Pickup System



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 A&E. 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 diA&Et studio or home Recording. Comparison tests have demonstrated that the fidelity of this system is a great alternative to studio Microphones.
