LR Baggs Anthem Acoustic Guitar Pickup and Microphone

Presenting the LR Baggs Anthem Acoustic Guitar Pickup and Microphone System, one of our favorite systems to install in your favorite steel string acoustic.

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

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. LR Baggs has 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.
