DAVE FOURNIER: We're also showing a retail version of our Ellipse Aura onboard processor. It uses the Aura Acoustic Imaging System inside that fits neatly in the sound hole so there's no need to cut holes. It's been shipping in some OEM guitar manufacturers since the summer, and each unit features the sound hole mounted preamp, our Acoustic Matrix Under-Saddle System pickup, as well as a blend control to blend in the Aura Image signal, a volume, a phase to fight feedback. It features an automatic anti-feedback filter. You just press that if and if you have any feedback on stage, it'll instantly kill it, as well as four sound images. A built-in USB port allows you to download images from our ever expanding library through our new Aura Gallery software interface. This product is shipping in March and is $299 street.
