B-Band A1 System with either transducer or soundboard B-Band pickups B-BAND A1.2 SYSTEM
Add AST OR one UST (3/32" or 1/8")

Manufacturers Details:
* Volume control mounted at the soundhole
* A1.2 can use either UST or AST (sold separately)
* High quality endpin output jack
* 750 hours average battery life
* 9-volt phantom power option
The A1.2 is the little brother of the classic B-Band A2 preamp and is big on classic B-Band sound. The single input A1.2 has a direct frequency response with 24 dB of gain making a perfect fit with the B-Band UST. The AST can alternatively be fitted with the A1.2 if the user is looking for a more flat response than that if the A1.2N. Either way, the sound reproduction is amazingly pure and clear.
The electronics are mounted in a small tube with an endpin jack. Available with the 3/32" or 1/8" Undersaddle Transducer (UST) or the Soundboard Transducer (AST).

B-BAND A1.2N SYSTEM
Already Includes the AST

Manufacturers Details:
* A1.2N special design preamp for use only with the AST
* A1.2N bundle includes A1.2N preamp and AST transducer
It has a slight frequency notch of 6 decibels in the low-mids giving the system a smooth acoustic sound at louder volume levels and is packaged along with, and for use only, with the 1470 AST. This gives the user great tone at a great value. The A1.2N-1470 can be used in any acoustic guitar, or similar instrument, that has good access to its interior.

Both the A1.2 and A1.2N come with a volume control that simply mounts at the inside edge of the sound hole with adhesive. The 9-volt battery powered electronics are mounted in a small tube that is directly coupled with a high quality endpin jack making an all-in-one structure. As an option, the A1.2 or A1.2N can be phantom powered with the B-Band external battery box.
The structure is light in mass adding very little weight to the instrument. Both kits include all mounting hardware, box-tight battery holder and wire harness.

B-Band A2.2 System with either transducer or soundboard B-Band pickups

B-BAND A2.2 SYSTEM
Add AST AND UST (3/32" or 1/8")

The B-Band A2.2 with XOM* is the future of acoustic guitar sound reproduction design. This dual input / mono output onboard preamp is set up for use with the acclaimed combination of UST and AST transducers. These, along with the convenient onboard remote XOM mix and volume controls, that mount just inside the edge of the soundhole without modification, bring the best of both transducers' characteristics together resulting in a sound that is true to the guitar's unique voice.
The entire A2.2 systems installs quickly and easily only requiring two holes to be drilled - one under the saddle for the UST and one for the endpin output jack / strap button. For fast connection all components are plug-in - no soldering.
The preamp mounts inside the guitar at the back and has input gain trims for both transducers that are adjustable with a screwdriver. The preamp is housed in lightweight all-metal box and is powered by a 9-volt battery. All mounting hardware, including a high quality endpin jack and hold-tight battery clip, are supplied. Note! The A2.2 does not support the AG-MIC microphone.
