- The first is having a dual-coil pickup, which means the coils are spaced apart from each other to enhance frequency response
- The second key is that the ACB is an active pickup with the preamp not only boosting the signal, but ensuring the pickup is noise-free
- As mentioned above, the coils are spaced apart, which allows "air gaps" to be built into the pickup
- These air gaps allow soundwaves inside the banjo to resonate between the coil walls and produce an acoustic quality that has not been achieved in a magnetic pickup until now
