TRI-AX
We developed the Takamine TRI-AX with acoustic amplification
specialists Lloyd Baggs to produce a truly great sounding
soundhole-mounted unit and one that complements the CTP-1
Cool Tube pre-amp perfectly.
It’s ability to produce breathtakingly realistic acoustic tones is
largely down to the unique Tri-Axial Dynamic body sensor, which
not only captures the information generated by string vibration,
but also the complex vibration of the guitar’s top. And the
smooth, fingernail-friendly pole pieces are fully adjustable to
ensure a flawless balanced output.
The humbucking nature of the pickup’s design together with the
built-in Class A pre-amp, make for superb noiseless
performance whether in the studio or on stage.
It’s also highly resistant to acoustic feedback, which of course,
is just what you need for playing live.
You can choose to run the TRI-AX in either active or passive
modes. When connected to the Cool-Tube, select passive mode
and use the Cool-Tube’s Aux control to blend with the Palathetic
pickup for a greatly expanded palette of rich tonal possibilities.
In active mode, and with the onboard volume control in circuit,
the TRI-AX delivers a strong, noiseless signal for driving an amp
or mixing desk.
The TRI-AX comes complete with a cable to end pin jack
connection, plus a cable allowing you to connect it directly to
the Aux input of the Cool-Tube. The TRI-AX is powered by an
easy-access CR2032 3-volt lithium coin cell providing around
1,000 hours of use.
