ADVANCED UNDERSADDLE PICKUP WITH UNRIVALED DYNAMIC RANGE

Common undersaddle pickups depend on string attack to directly compress the sensors for their sound. This direct pressure is a root cause of the infamous “quack”. In contrast, our patented Element derives output from the movement of the soundboard and rejects string attack to minimize quack. Its flexible film sensor, thin as a human hair, mirrors the soundboard’s movement as you play to capture the guitar’s actual voice and its most delicate nuances. In addition, the pickup’s minimalist construction removes most of its influence on the acoustic properties, creates an intimate coupling between the sensor and guitar for the highest fidelity possible, and makes the Element amazingly reliable. Every pickup is made here at our California factory and is pre-tested in a guitar for output and balance.

Mirrors the soundboard’s movement

Our original Element system features impressive body sensitivity, warmth, and articulation in a streamlined design. The system includes a prewired Element pickup, all-discrete electronics, and a soundhole mounted volume control.

FEATURES

• All-discrete endpin preamp

• Pre-attached Element pickup

• Fits both 3/32” and 1/8” saddle slots

• Soundhole mounted volume control

• Battery type: Single 9V

• Battery life: 1,000 hrs

MORE BODY…MORE SOUL

The soul of your guitar is in the body - from the tone woods that it's made of, to the fine details in the way it was put together. Standard magnetic pickups hear only dry strings, resulting in an "electric" sound that omits the true acoustic voice of your guitar. In contrast, the M80 hears the entire frequency range of the tone woods, thereby contributing warmth and complexity to your amplified sound.

The secret of the M80 is a patented, free-floating humbucking coil that acts as a 3D body sensor. As the soundboard resonates in all 3 dimensions, a proprietary suspension allows each axis of the humbucking coil to respond with the guitar's movement. A resonant body signal is produced and blended with the strings to faithfully capture your guitar like no other magnetic pickup ever created.

The M80 also gives you the choice of active or passive settings with the flick of the switch. The active setting engages a preamp with built-in EQ and audiophile circuitry for that “high-fidelity” sound Baggs is known for. Switch to the passive setting and bypass the preamp for a battery free performance. Other features of the M80 include a battery check, volume control and adjustable pole pieces for perfect balance between the strings.

FEATURES

• Full-range body sensitivity

• Active or passive operation

• Feedback resistant

• Installs in minutes

• Multi-segment battery check

• Adjustable pole pieces

The M1 is a patented humbucking pickup with a twist. In a common stacked humbucker, the lower coil cancels hum, but doesn’t contribute anything positive to the sound. We unlock the lower coil with a carefully tuned support that allows it to capture higher frequency resonances. As the pickup moves with the guitar’s soundboard, a body signal is created in the suspended coil that adds presence and realism to your amplified sound.

Available in completely passive design, the M1 delivers professional amplification in minutes. Adjustable pole pieces provide balance from string to string and the 1/8” jack makes removing the pickup a snap for when you are in the studio. Install the pickup with the strapjack or use the 10’ external soundhole cable for absolutely no modifications to your prized instrument.

FEATURES

• Highly Feedback-resistant

• Adjustable pole pieces

• A perfect blend of string and body signal

• Quiet hum-free operation

• Built-in gold plated 1/8" jack

• Includes a pre-wired strapjack harness and 10' cable for no modifications

The M1 Active’s plug-and-play design features a preamp with audiophile circuitry for that pure acoustic sound we are known for. The built-in electronics boosts the pickup’s output for a full and direct signal to any acoustic amplifier or P.A. system, eliminating the need for any external preamps. The M1 Active includes a volume control and adjustable pole pieces for perfect balance and tone between the strings.

FEATURES

• Highly Feedback-resistant

• Volume control

• Built-in gold plated 1/8" jack makes removing the pickup a snap

• Long battery life – 1,000 hours on one 3V lithium coin cell

• Adjustable pole pieces for perfect balance with most string types and gauges

• Includes a pre-wired strapjack harness

There's no argument that a microphone is the best way to capture the sound of an acoustic guitar, but until now, using a microphone for most live performances has been an elusive dream. Lyric, the next step in TRU•MIC technology, is the long overdue realization of this dream. Without a pickup, Lyric’s microphone accurately transports your guitar's actual voice to a live audience for the most realistic and inspiring sound you will ever experience.

TRU•MIC TECHNOLOGY

Our featherweight microphone, each high-graded for ideal response, mounts to the underside of the bridge plate with simple peel-and-stick adhesive to preserve the integrity of your instrument. The microphone leverages the “pressure-zone” principle by positioning the capsule just 3mm from the surface of the top to hear the entire soundboard for even balance and tone. And the microphone’s proximity to the top allows high gain before feedback. Unlike other attempts to use an internal microphone, Lyric employs noise canceling technology that rejects “boxy” reflections inside of the acoustic chamber. This patented minor miracle enables the mic to act as if it were outside of the guitar delivering a clear and open performance.

CIRCUIT INNOVATIONS

In a studio, you would have to use an entire rack of gear to achieve what we have built into Lyric’s tiny circuit board. Our lead engineer, Tommy Linn, created several “black box” circuit innovations that unlock the potential of the microphone. The first tightens the lower frequencies for a punchier attack with natural dynamics. The second maintains the microphone’s sweetness no matter how hard you play. The third innovation is an adjustable “presence” control that dials high frequency response perfectly for your guitar. Wrap all of this in all discrete, high-fidelity mic pre and you have a world class microphone system as an integral part of your guitar anywhere you plug in.

Lyric, the next step in TRU•MIC technology, provides studio mic’d fidelity engineered for live performance. The system includes an internal microphone, hi-fidelity mic preamplifier with soundhole volume and presence controls.

FEATURES

• TRU•MIC noise canceling technology

• No pickup

• Analog signal conditioning

• All discrete mic preamplifier

• Soundhole volume control

• Microphone presence control

• Quick & easy installation

The Award-winning Anthem series, featuring our patented TRU•MIC technology, seamlessly combines a proprietary condenser microphone with our acclaimed Element pickup to deliver the warmth and fidelity of a studio-mic’d guitar anywhere you perform.

TRU•MIC TECHNOLOGY

At the heart of the Anthem is a revolutionary microphone engineered to capture a dynamic studio-mic’d sound for any live performance. The TRU•MIC mounts to the underside of the bridge plate and hovers just 3 mm above its surface to take advantage of the PZM or “boundary” effect. This proprietary mounting system, combined with noise cancellation, frees the mic to perform as if it were outside of the guitar in a studio and maintain remarkable feedback suppression for the stage. The result is a balanced frequency response with excellent clarity for the purest sound you have ever heard amplified. We have paired the Element pickup with the TRU•MIC to provide solidity and punch for low frequencies.

The Anthem has all of the essential tools in one complete system. The feather-weight preamp and controls include: volume, mix, phase and a battery check. The mix control blends from the augmented TRU•MIC position to Element pickup only.

FEATURES

• The patented TRU•MIC carries the majority of the guitars’ frequency range while the Element Pickup carries the lowest frequencies

• Mix control blends between the TRU MIC augmented with low frequency support from the Element Pickup and full-range Element Pickup

• The mic is highly feedback-resistant

• Noise cancelling microphone technology eliminates any annoying honky or boxy qualities from the inside of the guitar

• Mic installs easily on the bridge plate with peel and stick adhesive

• Mic and pickup levels preset for optimum performance

• Soundhole preamp includes volume, mix, phase inversion, battery check, and mic trim controls

• All discrete pre-contoured soundhole preamp with preset crossover

• Element Pickup fits most common string spacings and saddle width

• Comes with battery bag for secure and unobtrusive battery retention
