LR Baggs Anthem Acoustic Guitar Pickup System - Tru-Mic Technology | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The LR Baggs Anthem acoustic guitar pickup system represents a breakthrough in natural amplification for acoustic guitarists. This innovative hybrid system combines a noise-canceling undersaddle piezo pickup with the groundbreaking Tru-Mic technology, delivering exceptional feedback resistance and studio-quality tone on stage. Professional and advancing players seeking authentic acoustic sound amplification will find the Anthem's dual-source design eliminates the compromises typically found in traditional acoustic pickups.
Product Overview
The Anthem features a proprietary dual-pickup design that combines an undersaddle Element piezo with LR Baggs' revolutionary Tru-Mic microphone. The undersaddle component provides clarity and string attack, while the internal microphone captures the natural resonance and warmth of your guitar's soundboard. The system's innovative noise-canceling technology specifically targets the problematic frequencies that create the "boxy" or "honky" tonal qualities common in other microphone pickups, ensuring clean, feedback-resistant amplification in any venue.
The Tru-Mic's patent-pending design positions the microphone to capture your guitar's true voice without the placement sensitivity issues that plague conventional internal microphones. Unlike systems that rely on modeling or digital processing, the Anthem delivers pure, uncolored acoustic tone with impressive dynamic range and detail. The discreet control unit mounts inside your guitar's soundhole, providing intuitive Volume, Mix, and Phase controls that allow you to dial in your perfect balance between the piezo's clarity and the microphone's natural warmth.
Installation is straightforward with both 3/32" and 1/8" undersaddle elements included to fit most acoustic guitars. The single 9-volt battery power source provides extended playing time, while the professional-grade components ensure road-worthy reliability for touring musicians and frequent performers.
Ideal For
- Live performers requiring feedback-resistant amplification without sacrificing natural acoustic tone
- Recording artists seeking authentic plugged-in sound that translates well through PA systems
- Professional acoustic guitarists who demand studio-quality tone in demanding stage environments
