The L.R. Baggs iMix is an onboard stereo mixer that combines the iBeam bridge plate transducer and the Element undersaddle pickup with an alldiscrete, class A, internal preamp. The system includes a soundhole-mounted volume/mix control (the Remote Control II) and our Battery Bag.
We recommend that this system be installed by a professional dealer/installer. We do not provide installation advice or support for home or hobbyist installations. Installers: please read the instructions carefully before proceeding. We will not be responsible for any damage to the guitar or personal injury resulting from installation, improper installation, use or misuse of the product.
The iBeam fits x-braced guitars with at least three inches of flat open space directly under the saddle (see figure 1). Verify that this requirement is met before making any alterations to the guitar. If the space is too small to accommodate the iBeam, do not cut the iBeam to fit a tighter space.
The preamp requires a 9 volt battery, which is not included in this package. There is a small slit under the iBeam cap about 1/2" from each end of the pickup. Do not poke anything into the slit.
The peel-and-stick adhesive is the best way to adhere the iBeam. It will hold the iBeam quite firmly, but will allow the pickup to be safely removed at a later time. The use of any adhesive other than the provided self-stick pads is not recommended and will void the warranty.
