With a simple flick of a switch, the Amulet System's new low-cut filter removes any extreme low end that might strain smaller speaker systems without compromising the complete, full-range sound of your guitar, no matter how low you tune. In response to user requests, Trance Audio recently added an exciting and useful update to the Amulet electronics package. A user-selectable lowcut filter has now been added to limit the extreme lower end response of the system for certain live performance and recording applications. The powerful low-end response of the Acoustic Lens pickups adds impact and sensitivity to larger speaker systems, providing the listener with a realistic sense of "physical presence" of sound; with the proper system, you can practically "feel" the fingers contacting the strings! On smaller speaker and amplifier systems however, this muscular ability may tend to actually overpower the components involved. This can be especially apparent when playing very percussively around the bridge of the instrument, where the pickups are mounted. Since the bass side Acoustic Lens pickup is mounted in that area, it's kind of like tapping on a microphone; tapping lightly sounds good, tapping too hard will start to air-condition the audience from the flapping woofers in your speaker cabinets! But the new Amulet design changes all that with a simple flick of a switch... The Amulet System's new low-cut filter has been carefully engineered to steeply remove any extreme low end excursions that might strain smaller speaker systems, but leaves the musical low end response of the instrument intact, even on those guitars that have been tuned far below normal pitch - the sound will still be the complete, full-range sound of your instrument. And the extremely low-noise design insures that the low-cut filter's operation is totally transparent to the user. |
