Can you confirm this statement of giving your acoustic pickup the sound quality of a studio mic?

I haven't used that particular thing, but my experience with the aura systems in general hasn't excited me .

I ran the PA at a wedding and a fellow got a great sound out of his. When he kicked it in the sound became more airy and luxurious all around. I bought one and found out that it is not any kind of a cure-all. The less help your guitar needs, the better the chances of satisfaction. I have a couple acoustics with magnetic pickups, the aura doesn't help. I have a guitar with great action but an overbrittle piezo tone; the aura doesn't help it.

Thanks for the replies. I know you all are a discerning bunch, and I'd rather get your opinions rather than those off of Amazon, so that's why I posted that here.

I don't know, there's something about that video ken posted that's got me set on trying one out in person. I will report back when that time comes. Thanks again
