WE'RE SHIPPING! We mailed out our first G2 packages this week. We're alternating assembly and shipping, and are planning on having all preorders shipped by the end of May. You will receive a pre-ship email confirming your mailing address, followed up by an email with your tracking information. If you have multiple basses and straps, now is the time to order add-ons that we can ship with your G2.     Finally, if your address has changed, or if you have any other specific questions, you can email us directly at hi@getbackbeat.com.  From the Low End BackBeat

Hi everyone,  A quick update to let you know we'll be into G2 assembly over the next few weeks and expect to ship the first couple of hundred units this month (April). Our enclosures had manufacturing defects that required more tooling adjustments and testing which delayed these from our original estimates. In the next week or so we'll follow up with Update #12 including: -how-to videos on using the custom cable and strap clip. -links to order add-on cables and clips. If your address has changed, or if you have any other specific questions, you can email us directly at hi@getbackbeat.com.   From...

In a nutshell, we underestimated the redesign and production time. As such, we project to be shipping in January. This is based on our suppliers' timeframes and our assembly process here in the US.  We are bitterly disappointed that we have not delivered on our timeframe. We...

Hi and welcome to update #8!

The class-D amp has an impedance range of 4-8ohms. For the BackBeat system 4.2ohms provides the best balance between current draw (directly proportional to the electromagnetic force which drives the magnet),...
