LR Baggs ANTHEM Tru Mic Acoustic Microphone / Pickup System

Your acoustic guitar is like family, and you wouldn’t dare stick it with a cheap, trebly pickup. The LR Baggs Anthem Guitar Pickup results from 30 years of research, development and testing to create the ideal live performance add-on. The TRU-MIC noise-cancelling microphone is 3mm from the top of the body when mounted to the underside of the bridge plate. This allows it to pick up vibrations from the strings and soundboard without being shallow or picking up excess feedback. When you add the Element under-saddle pickup, you get solid response across the entire frequency range.

These are the best-sounding guitar sound hole pickups for the stage, the recording studio or an impromptu jam session. A preamp and control unit mounted on the sound hole lets you adjust the mix and volume while letting you know the battery status. Your guitar will sound like it should — just amplified! Our videos and audio clips below let you hear the LR Baggs Anthem before you order.

Let your anthem ring with the LR Baggs Anthem Tru Mic Acoustic Microphone and Pickup System.

How The LR Baggs Anthem Pickup Works

The Anthem uses a proprietary noise-canceling mic that eradicates boxy or shallow characteristics to give you plenty of sound, while accentuating the natural dynamics of your guitar. The mic's 3 millimeter distance from the top of the guitar maximizes gain before you get any feedback. Mic placement issues are a thing of the past with the mic easily mounted to the bridge plate and picking up vibrations from the entire soundboard.

By eliminating feedback, the sound quality of your guitar comes from the Anthem Tru Mic, which is the opposite of most mic/pickup systems. By picking up the unique color and tone of your guitar and capturing only the lowest frequencies with the Element under-saddle pickup, this LR Baggs Anthem pickup gives you amazing sound quality with zero worry.

A multi-segment battery check and volume, mix and phase controls are all housed in the feather-weight control unit that's tucked securely inside the sound hole for easy fingertip access. That means you can adjust the mix between the augmented mic and pickup on the fly. The discrete preamp/mixer delivers a pure and clean signature sound, assuring you that the audience will hear what you hear when you're playing at home.
