Abstract:
Apparatus and associated methods relate to acoustic-electric sensor system including a main acoustic sensor operably coupled to detect string vibrations of an acoustic-electric instrument and a feedback suppression acoustic sensor configured to primarily detect sound board vibrations of the acoustic-electric stringed instrument at a location with a substantially attenuated string vibration signal relative to its sound board vibration signal. In an illustrative example, a mixing circuit may at least partially cancel out sound board vibration signatures output by the main and feedback suppression acoustic sensors with one another to produce a mixed output signal. The feedback suppression acoustic sensor may be spaced outside of an ellipse substantially centered around a sound board string coupling point. The main acoustic sensor may be arranged in close proximity to receive the string vibration signal. The mixed output signal may substantially reject audio feedback disturbances while retaining the unique characteristic sound of the instrument.

Claim (Index 5):
The acoustic-electric sensor system of  claim 1 , wherein the feedback suppression acoustic sensor is disposed sufficiently remote from the saddle such that the feedback suppression acoustic sensor is configured to primarily detect sound board vibrations of the acoustic-electric stringed instrument while substantially avoiding string vibration signatures of the acoustic-electric stringed instrument at the saddle.
