Lyric Classical Acoustic Microphone
When you play your acoustic guitar live in front of an audience, you want everything to go seamlessly. You should be concentrating on playing your music rather than worrying about whether your amp is relaying your music the right way. The Lyric Classical by LR Baggs will help ensure your music transfers from your guitar strings to listeners' ears with a sweet and unadulterated sound. It now pairs the company's ground-breaking TRU•MIC technology with a high-fidelity preamplifier specially crafted for nylon string guitars.
Engineered for live performances, the Lyric Classical provides most of the same benefits of external micing while achieving unprecedented feedback resistance and isolation for the stage. LR Baggs Lyric acoustic guitar microphone installation is a cinch, so you won't have to worry about taking a long time to set up.

Beyond Pickups • Beyond Compare
There's no argument that a mic is the best way to capture the sound of an acoustic guitar, but until now, using a mic for most live performances has been an elusive dream. Lyric, the next step in TRU•MIC technology, is the long-overdue realization of this dream. Without a pickup, Lyric's microphone accurately transports your guitar's actual voice to a live audience for the most realistic and inspiring sound you will ever experience.
TRU•MIC Technology
With high grades for ideal response, the Lyric Classical's featherweight microphone mounts to the underside of the bridge plate with simple peel-and-stick adhesive to preserve the integrity of your instrument. The mic leverages the "pressure-zone" principle by positioning the capsule just 3mm from the surface of the top to hear the entire soundboard for even balance and tone. The proximity of the mic to the top allows high gain before feedback. Unlike other attempts to use an internal mic, Lyric employs noise-canceling technology that rejects "boxy" reflections inside the acoustic chamber. This patent-pending minor miracle empowers the mic to act as if it were outside the guitar delivering a clear, true and open performance.
Circuit Innovations
In a studio, you would have to use an entire rack of gear to achieve what's built into Lyric's tiny circuit board. Lyric's lead engineer, Tommy Linn, has created patent-pending "black box" circuit innovations that unlock the potential of the microphone. The first tightens the lower frequencies for a punchier attack with natural dynamics. The second maintains the mic's sweetness no matter how hard you play. The third innovation, not patent pending but useful, is an adjustable "presence" control that dials high-frequency response perfectly for your guitar. Wrap all of this in a discrete, high-fidelity mic pre and you have a world-class microphone system as an integral part of your guitar anywhere you plug in.
