Default Martin/Fishman Enhance pickup

I recently picked up a Martin OMC-35E with the aura VT Enhance system installed. I’m really impressed with how good it sounds, both through a Fishman Loudbox Performer amp, and recorded direct. I have to roll off the highs a bit on the loudbox amp. On a recent gig where I played mostly electric through a fender deluxe reverb I plugged the OMC in through an EQ pedal and even got great tone through the deluxe amp.

Acoustically, the guitar seems to lack a bit of volume and is a bit bright, compared to an OM 21 that I recently had. I’m curious if the enhance pick up, which is attached to the bridge plate, is heavy enough to affect either volume or the tone. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience on this?

Thanks.
