Tech Tips

Choosing between the Acoustic Matrix Natural I or II

We offer our Acoustic Matrix Active Undersaddle Pickups with two preamp voicings, the Natural I and Natural II. These 2 preamps will accommodate different instruments and playing environments. This Tech Tip will give you a quick review on choosing the correct version for your guitar.

Natural I
Choose the Natural I if you want more bass response than the guitar naturally produces. Typically, the Natural I is a good match for players with non-scallop braced instruments (especially smaller sizes), who perform solo or in small all-acoustic ensembles at relatively low volumes. If your instrument is at all prone to feedback, you may want to check out the Natural II.

Natural II
This version is designed for instruments with lots of naturally deep bass like a big scallop-braced dreadnought. Also, if you play in a band with an amplified rhythm section, the Natural II will cut through and deliver the goods. Because of its ability to reject low frequency feedback, the Natural II is the choice of touring performers who play large venues.

With the correct version of the Acoustic Matrix pickup system in your guitar, playing feedback free and with great tone is as easy as plugging in.
