PICKUPS:
M1 Soundhole Passive Magnetic Pickup
Soundhole magnet pickup with body sensors, pickup
responds to the string vibration along with the body vibrations. •
Completely passive operation: no batteries to worry about • Quiet,
hum-free operation under the most challenging live conditions • Highly
feedback resistant • Adjustable pole pieces with smooth threadless
tops preserve fingerstylists' nails • Built-in gold-plated 1/8" jack
makes moving or removing the pickup a snap • Includes a prewired
strapjack harness and a 12' Mogami audiophile-grade cable
Ribbon Transducer™ (passive shown here)
A GREAT
undersaddle pickup for acoustic guitar and is a key element in many of their
combined preamp systems. This high-tech, laser-trimmed wonder is thin
and flexible, fits any string spacing and gives an exceptional natural reproduction for
any type of single pickup made. Works great for acoustic bass guitar, too!
The key feature that separates the RT from
other pickups is that its sensor is responsive to vibration but not to pressure.
This minimizes that unpleasant, dry, stringy sound that is characteristic of
pressure-sensitive undersaddle pickups. As the guitar top moves with the
vibrations of the strings, so does the RT sensor, naturally reflecting the
actual sound and dynamics of your guitar.
The legendary LB6 pickup (LB12 for
12-string guitars) is the first unitary saddle pickup for acoustic guitar. The sensors are
cast right into the saddle for high output, great sensitivity and presence. Still
preferred by many top pros.
The iBeam Active System
combines a patent pending bridge plate transducer with an all-discrete class "A"
endpin preamp that enables you to simply "plug-in-and-play". The user
installable iBeam reproduces the natural tone of an acoustic guitar while maintaining
perfect string balance and providing full dynamic range.
Bridge Pickup. The choice of top pros like Mark O
Connor, Alison Krauss, Jean-Luc Ponty and Darol Anger, the LR Baggs Violin Pickup sets the
standard. It features a miniature directional vibration sensor, cast into the bridge
itself, for unsurpassed warmth and sensitivity.
Radius External Mount Pickup. This new
soundboard transducer pickup offers a unique approach to amplifying small higher
register instruments such as the violin and mandolin. A thin film sensor is
suspended between two neodymium magnets and encased in a small capsule which
mounts to the instrument's outside surface with a non-destructive adhesive pad.
The sensor is very responsive to top vibrations. Installation is simple and
requires no permanent alteration of your instrument. Includes a 1/4" carpenter
jack that clamps to the side of the instrument. The frequency response is
linear, silky smooth and accurate with an astonishing natural and effortless
sound. Unlike most soundboard transducers, the Radius is also very tolerant to
placement and works well in a variety of locations. The output of the device is
quite strong which allows passive use with a normal length cord without a preamp
into most acoustic amps, although a preamp will improve performence.
Add great
acoustic sound to your trusty Strat® with our cool new and easy to install bridge
replacement pickup. Models available in chrome or gold for US Standard, Vintage and Fixed
Bridge Strats®.
Acoustic guitar pickups can be used alone or in combination
with other kinds of internal condenser or transducer style pickups as well as
preamplification devices. There are a variety of such systems available from
L.R. Baggs suitable for every budget and need.
