Enhance Transducer
Fishman’s new Enhance Transducer is a bridge plate transducer that is mechanically and electrically optimized to bring out the dynamic and percussive elements of guitar playing. The Enhanced Trancducer is specially designed to capture the longitudinal energy (dynamic and percussive attack) of the guitar top while being highly resistant to the transverse energy that manifests in string squeak, body handling noise, and parasitic feedback.
The Enhance Transducer adds these characteristics to the full spectrum audio performance of the Aura VT Enhance to deliver a new level of sound quality and dynamic playing response.

LR Baggs Anthem gives you Studio Mic'd Sound wherever you perform!
The award winning Anthem features TRU-MIC technology that seamlessly combines a proprietary condenser microphone with an Element pickup to deliver the warmth and fidelity of a studio-mic'd guitar anywhere you perform.
TRU-MIC TECHNOLOGY
The Anthem microphone is engineered to capture a dynamic studio-mic's sound for any live performance. The TRU-Mic mounts to the underside of the bridge plate and hovers just 3mm above it's surface to take advantage of the PZM or "boundary" effect. The mounting system, combined with noise cancellation, frees the mic to perform as if it were outside of the guitar in a studio and maintain remarkable feedback suppression for the stage. The result is a balanced frequency response with execellent clarity for the purest sound you have ever heard amplified. The combination of the Element pickup with the TRU-MIC provides solidity and punch for low frequencies.
The Martin Gold Plus Natural I features a highly sensitive copolymer transmitter combined with an end pin mounted preamp. Known for its balanced tone and feedback resistance, it works particularly well for fingerstylists and solo players. Powered by a single 9-Volt battery.
