LR Baggs Active Soundhole Body-Sensitive Magnetic Pickup

LR Baggs M1 Active Body-Sensitive Magnetic Pickup

For players who want a combination of the natural sonic qualities of their guitar's soundboard, as well as punchy attack from their guitar's strings, the LR Baggs M1 Active is the perfect option. This humbucking pickup provides enhanced tonal realism whilst still managing to cut through a loud mix. 

The LR Baggs M1 isn't just a standard humbucking pickup. In a standard stacked humbucker, the lower coil cancels hum, but doesn’t contribute anything positive to the sound. LR Baggs unlocks the lower coil with a carefully tuned support that allows it to capture higher frequency resonances. As the pickup moves with the guitar’s soundboard, a body signal is created in the suspended coil that adds presence and realism to your amplified sound.

The M1 Active’s plug-&-play design features a preamp with audiophile circuitry for that pure acoustic sound that LR Baggs are known for. The built-in electronics boosts the pickup’s output for a full and direct signal to any acoustic amplifier or P.A. system, eliminating the need for any external preamps. The M1 Active includes a volume control and adjustable pole pieces for perfect balance and tone between the strings.
