Sound rundown

THE PROBLEM

Sounds great unplugged. Disappointing when plugged in?

Many acoustic guitars sound fantastic in the room – but lose exactly that character once amplified. Harsh highs, artificial piezo tone and endless EQ tweaking are everyday issues for many players.

Baton Rouge wanted to change that

THE SOLUTION

The Cole Clark PG3MK2 Pickup

The Cole Clark PG3MK2 is not a conventional acoustic pickup. Developed by Paul Gale, it follows a fundamentally different approach: each part of the sound is captured where it naturally occurs


THE 3‑WAY PRINCIPLE

A balanced, natural acoustic sound – without the typical piezo harshness.

Piezo - For low frequencies

A stable foundation with clear attack and a solid low end.

Face Sensor - For midrange

Captures the vibration of the guitar top – where the character of the instrument is created

Condenser Microphone - For high frequencies

Adds air and clarity without introducing feedback issues.

Result: A balanced, natural acoustic sound – without the typical piezo harshness.


WHO IS THIS FOR?

  • Worship guitarists
  • Fingerstyle players
