Ok, I just found something that I don’t like on this pickup. On my Elite Acoustics D6-8, there are both Hi-Z instrument and TRS line 1/4” input jacks. The wireless receiver sounds great plugged into either input but not so the hardwired output. The endpin audio (via the LR Baggs M80 endpin cable assembly) sounds fine through the Hi-Z input but absolutely terrible through the line input. Terrible audio, uneven frequency response causing some frequencies to feed back even as others were barely there, plus a whining and sputtering noise: completely unusable. Go back to the hi impedance input and everything is fine again.

This must be why they no longer include the cable or advertise a hardware audio out as a feature.

Anyway, the hardware output sounds fine plugged into a guitar amp or a directbox, but I wouldn’t plug it into a mixer directly even in an emergency.

The hardware out also works well with my Tonewood Amp, which I really enjoy playing through at home.
