The ACOUSTIC MATRIX transducer is a fully EMI shielded, multi-layer
sandwich of co-polymer strips that run the length of the pickup. This
design allows the pickup to sense the motion of the entire saddle
length, providing superb string to string balance, as well as sensitivity
to both the strings and top of the instrument.
