A system for attaching an acoustic element to an integrated circuit includes various ways in which to connect piezoelectric ceramic or micro-machined ultrasonic transducer (MUT) elements to an integrated circuit (IC), thus reducing the number of conductors required to connect the acoustic element to the IC by combining the signals in the IC. In another aspect of the invention, the transducer elements include an electrically conductive acoustic layer comprising a backing layer and/or a de-matching layer that is connected to an IC.
