Description

Are you tired of soundhole pickups that make your guitar sound like a banjo? The LR Baggs Active M1 Humbucker Pickup eliminates the twang common in many insert pickups for a sweet sound that’s true to your gitbox. The design makes better use of the lower coil to project a larger frequency range while resisting hum, and the suspended coil offers more presence. The active version of this LR Baggs guitar pickup includes an acoustic soundhole preamp to increase the signal and simplify your circuitry.

With a built-in volume control, adjustable poles and a prewired strap-jack harness, fine-tuning the sound and setup is a breeze. It will fit any acoustic or classical guitar with a soundhole diameter of more than 3.5 inches. The 1/8-inch gold-plated jack lets you plug in anywhere and the pre-amp runs for over 1,000 hours on the included battery. Watch the videos below to hear how the M1 LR Baggs active pickup produces a genuine tone.

Feel like kicking up your heels and kicking your sound up a notch? Pop this LR Baggs M1 Active Soundhole Magnetic Pickup in your favorite acoustic guitar and lay down amplified tunes till the sun comes up or till the cows come home.

"It sounds great for live use, running through your P.A., it's gonna sound great, really natural, but the best thing about it is its sonic flexibility. You can basically have one and put it on any of your guitars, giving you a lot of flexibility without having to modify your guitar." - Dino Meneghin

This M1 LR Baggs acoustic pickup delivers a balanced sound, amplifying the natural lows and highs of your acoustic guitar by capturing string as well as soundboard vibrations, creating a huge and natural sound from one pickup. This M1 acoustic pickup includes a built-in all Class A discrete preamp along with LR Baggs' exclusive, patent-pending Tri-Axial Dynamic Technology dual-coil design. Translated into plain English, that means the LR Baggs Active Pickup provides pristine, full tones with outstanding body sensitivity that resist feedback, noise and hum without cutting out string and body sound. You can easily adjust the volume with the fingertip control. The M1 Active also features individually adjustable pole pieces with smooth, threadless tops, letting you achieve the perfect balance in any acoustic guitar.

What Guitars will the LR Baggs M1 Active Fit?

The M1 Active will fit guitars with sound holes larger than 3.5 inches centered beneath the strings. Make sure this product will fit the guitar properly before installing the Strap Jack. The installation procedure is very simple, but we recommend that any woodworking (for instance, drilling a Strap Jack hole) be performed by a professional dealer/installer. We do not provide advice or support for home or hobbyist woodworking.
