B-Band transducers use an electret film rather than the piezo pickups found in many electro-acoustic guitars. The result is a more open, transparent sound, without the colouring typcial of piezo pickups. Much like a condenser microphone is more transparent than a dynamic. If you think a piezo pickups sounds artificial, B-Band transducers are a better option.
