L.R Baggs iBeam Active Pickup System for Steel-String Acoustic
Additional Photos:
The iBeam Active pairs the iBeam with a pre-contoured, proprietary, all-discrete Class A FET 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-andplay performance. An auxiliary passive channel is also available for adding a secondary pickup.
The iBeam Active is also great for direct studio or home recording. Comparison tests have demonstrated that the fidelity of this system is a great alternative to studio microphones.

• Peel-and-stick
• Natural string to string balance and dynamics
• Fits most X-Braced guitars
• All-discrete Class A preamp for warm, analog sound
• Available in steel and nylon string versions
Specifications:
• Length: 2.875

Made a pandemic purchase five months ago and installed this in my plain Taylor 414 (no cutaway & no electric). Easy enough to install following the instructions and using the little jig that come with it. Definitely minimally invasive. It does exactly what I wanted. It takes that warm sound which I love from this guitar and makes it louder. I doesn't make it sound like something else. At the moment I am using a little Fender 15 watt (?) practice amp and the only knob I turn is the volume. Bass, treble and mid range are all set at zero.

Have one I'm my Martin D-18, sound is natural and balanced. Not too boomy like some pickups. Well done LR Baggs!
