L.R. Baggs Lyric Acoustic Microphone - Bridge Plate System | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The L.R. Baggs Lyric acoustic guitar microphone system bridges the gap between studio-quality fidelity and stage-ready feedback resistance, delivering exceptional amplified tone for discerning acoustic guitarists. This innovative pressure-zone microphone represents the next evolution in L.R. Baggs's acclaimed TRU•MIC technology, introducing revolutionary noise-canceling circuitry that eliminates the boxiness typically associated with internal microphones while preserving sweet highs and natural low-end response. Designed for both live performance and studio recording, the Lyric microphone system captures your guitar's authentic voice with the sonic purity of an external studio mic and the reliability of traditional pickup systems.
Product Overview
The Lyric's featherweight pressure-zone microphone mounts beneath the bridge on your guitar's top plate, positioning it in the optimal acoustic zone where string vibration and soundboard resonance combine to create your instrument's characteristic voice. This strategic placement allows the microphone to operate at high gain levels before feedback while capturing the full tonal spectrum of your guitar, from delicate harmonic overtones to powerful fundamental frequencies. The ultra-lightweight design ensures minimal mass loading on the soundboard, allowing your guitar's top to vibrate freely and maintain its natural acoustic projection.
At the core of the Lyric system lies groundbreaking noise-canceling technology that actively rejects the boxy internal reflections and cavity resonances that plague conventional under-saddle microphones. This patented noise-cancellation circuitry dramatically improves tonal clarity by filtering out undesirable acoustic artifacts while preserving the pure, musical frequencies that define your guitar's character. The result is an amplified sound that maintains the dimensional quality and air of an externally mic'd instrument without the feedback problems that make traditional condenser microphones impractical for live performance applications.
The system's patent-pending preamp circuitry delivers tight, controlled low frequencies, sweet articulate highs, and full-range dynamic response that faithfully tracks your playing intensity from whisper-quiet fingerpicking to aggressive percussive techniques. The soundhole-mounted control module features intuitive volume and presence controls, with the presence knob offering precise high-frequency shaping to compensate for room acoustics or personal tonal preferences. An endpin-mounted preamp ensures clean signal amplification with professional-grade headroom, while the entire system installs easily without requiring permanent guitar modifications, making it suitable for instruments of any vintage or value.
Ideal For
- Professional acoustic guitarists seeking studio microphone quality with live performance reliability
- Recording artists who need consistent amplified tone across studio and stage environments
- Fingerstyle players demanding exceptional dynamic response and tonal clarity
- Singer-songwriters performing in diverse venues from intimate coffeehouses to concert halls
- Touring musicians requiring feedback-resistant amplification that captures authentic acoustic character
Key Features
Pressure-Zone Microphone Technology
The innovative pressure-zone design positions a featherweight microphone element directly on your guitar's bridge plate, capturing sound at the critical junction where string energy transfers to the soundboard. This proximity to the top plate allows high gain operation before feedback while recording the complete sonic picture of your instrument, including subtle harmonic complexities and three-dimensional resonance that traditional pickups cannot reproduce.
Revolutionary Noise-Canceling Circuitry
Patent-pending noise-cancellation technology actively identifies and eliminates the boxy internal reflections that compromise conventional under-saddle microphone systems, delivering unprecedented clarity for internal amplification. This sophisticated circuit design rejects problematic cavity resonances while preserving musical frequencies across the entire tonal spectrum, resulting in an open, natural sound that rivals external studio microphone techniques without feedback vulnerability.
Full-Range Dynamic Response
The advanced preamp circuitry provides tight, controlled low frequencies that articulate bass notes with precision, sweet high-frequency response that captures string harmonics and percussive attack, and exceptional dynamic range that follows every nuance of your playing technique. This full-spectrum performance ensures your amplified tone remains true to your acoustic sound whether you're playing delicate arpeggios or driving rhythm parts.
Onboard Presence Control
The soundhole-mounted presence control offers precise high-frequency shaping that allows you to tailor your amplified tone to different performance environments and personal preferences. This musical tone-shaping tool enhances string clarity and definition when needed or softens brightness in overly reflective rooms, providing essential tonal flexibility without requiring external equalization or processing.
Simple Installation System
The complete Lyric system—including bridge plate microphone, soundhole control module, and endpin preamp—installs easily using non-invasive mounting techniques that preserve your guitar's structural integrity and resale value. The streamlined installation process requires no permanent modifications, making this professional-grade amplification system suitable for vintage instruments and guitars where maintaining original condition is essential.
