L.R. Baggs Anthem SL Acoustic Guitar Pickup - TruMic System | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The L.R. Baggs Anthem SL represents a breakthrough in acoustic guitar amplification, combining their award-winning TruMic technology with the renowned Element pickup in a sophisticated mixing system. This innovative dual-source system delivers the natural warmth and clarity of a studio-mic'd guitar in any live performance setting, while maintaining exceptional feedback resistance. Perfect for performing singer-songwriters, touring acoustic artists, and studio musicians who demand authentic amplified tone without compromise.

Product Overview

The Anthem SL's revolutionary design centers on a proprietary condenser microphone that mounts to the underside of the bridge plate, hovering just 3mm above the surface to utilize the boundary or PZM effect. This patent-pending TruMic technology captures your guitar's true voice with studio-quality fidelity, while advanced noise-canceling circuitry eliminates the boxy, honky qualities typically associated with internal microphones. The result is a balanced frequency response with remarkable clarity that faithfully represents your instrument's natural acoustic character.

Complementing the TruMic is L.R. Baggs' acclaimed Element undersaddle piezo pickup, strategically handling the lower frequencies to provide solidity and punch in the bass register. Compatible with both 3/32" and 1/8" saddle slots, the Element integrates seamlessly into most acoustic guitar designs. This intelligent frequency distribution allows the microphone to focus on mid and high frequencies where it excels, while the pickup delivers the foundation and body that cuts through any mix. The preset crossover seamlessly blends these two sources, creating a cohesive, full-range tone that sounds natural at any volume level.

The active system includes a discreet all-discrete pre-contoured endpin preamp with built-in electronics and optimized factory settings, powered by a standard 9V battery. A convenient soundhole-mounted remote control provides easy access to volume and mic level adjustments during performance, allowing you to fine-tune your sound on the fly without reaching for the endpin. The mic and pickup levels are carefully preset for optimal balance, though the mic level control offers flexibility to adapt to different playing styles and venue acoustics.

Ideal For

• Singer-songwriters performing in coffeehouses, clubs, and concert venues requiring natural amplified acoustic tone
• Touring acoustic musicians who need reliable feedback resistance without sacrificing sound quality
• Studio recording artists seeking consistent amplified tone for live tracking and performance applications
• Worship leaders and church musicians who perform both plugged and unplugged in varying acoustic environments
• Professional guitarists transitioning from piezo-only systems and demanding superior tonal authenticity

Key Features

Patent-Pending TruMic Technology

The revolutionary TruMic condenser microphone captures your guitar's true acoustic voice with studio-quality fidelity. Mounted 3mm beneath the bridge plate, it leverages the boundary effect while noise-canceling technology eliminates internal resonances, delivering unprecedented clarity and naturalness in live performance settings.

Intelligent Frequency Distribution

The patented system design assigns the TruMic to handle the majority of the guitar's frequency range while the Element undersaddle piezo pickup focuses exclusively on low frequencies. This strategic distribution ensures each component operates in its optimal range, creating a seamless, full-spectrum tone with exceptional balance and definition.

Advanced Feedback Suppression

Despite using a highly sensitive condenser microphone inside the guitar, the Anthem SL maintains remarkable feedback resistance suitable for stage volumes. The proprietary mounting system and noise cancellation allow the mic to perform as if positioned outside the instrument, providing studio-quality sound with gigging reliability.

Soundhole Remote Control

The convenient soundhole-mounted remote puts volume and mic level controls at your fingertips during performance. This elegant solution allows real-time tonal adjustments without interrupting your playing or reaching for the endpin preamp, perfect for adapting to different songs or venue acoustics mid-set.

Active Preamp System

The built-in active preamp with all-discrete circuitry provides optimized signal strength and impedance matching for clean, noise-free amplification. Factory-optimized crossover and level settings ensure peak performance immediately upon installation, while the 9V battery power delivers consistent tone throughout extended performances.
