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.
