L.R. Baggs HiFi Duet Pickup System - Premium Guitar Mic | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The L.R. Baggs HiFi Duet represents a groundbreaking advancement in acoustic guitar amplification, combining award-winning HiFi bridge plate pickups with the innovative Silo microphone technology. This professional-grade mixing system delivers studio-quality tone with exceptional feedback resistance, making it ideal for performing guitarists who demand pristine acoustic sound in any environment.
Product Overview
The HiFi Duet features non-intrusive bridge plate sensors that preserve your guitar's natural acoustic properties while capturing every nuance of your instrument's voice. The lightweight pickups utilize a simplified peel-and-stick installation method that protects your guitar's bridge plate integrity without permanently altering the instrument. The system's elegant design ensures that your guitar's inherent tonal character remains uncompromised while providing exceptional amplified performance.
At the heart of this system lies the precision-engineered Silo microphone, which employs L.R. Baggs' acclaimed TRU•MIC technology with a newly designed capsule and tuned suspension. This microphone delivers pure, uncolored sound with enhanced ambience and three-dimensional presence that rivals studio condenser microphones. The Silo's advanced isolation capabilities provide remarkable feedback resistance, allowing confident performance in challenging acoustic environments where traditional internal microphones struggle.
The all-discrete studio-grade preamp features a sophisticated multi-pole crossover system that seamlessly blends the HiFi pickups and Silo microphone across the frequency spectrum. This intelligent circuit design delivers warm, natural tone with exceptional clarity and low noise floor, while the soundhole-mounted controls provide intuitive access to volume, mix balance, microphone level, and battery status. With over 180 hours of battery life from a single 9V battery, the HiFi Duet offers reliable performance for extended touring and recording sessions.
