Revolutionary Tru-Mic Technology The Anthem system uses L.R. Baggs’ patented Tru-Mic technology seamlessly combining a proprietary condenser microphone with their acclaimed Element pickup to deliver incredible warmth and a studio-mic’d guitar sound. This revolutionary design is engineered to capture the same dynamics of a guitar that’s been mic’d up in a studio environment and helps maintain its remarkable feedback suppression for the stage. The pickup system is mounted to the underside of your guitar’s bridge hovering 3mm above the surface to take advantage of the “boundary” effect. Proprietary Condenser Mic & Element Pickup Using both mic and element pickup to capture the guitar’s sound the Anthem can deliver an incredible balanced frequency response and offer incredible clarity. While the microphone has been enhanced with noise cancellation to ensure crisp tones the Element pickup has been reconfigured to capture the low-end frequencies to provide solidity and punch. Powerful Soundhole Mounted Controls The Anthem system features a feather-weight control unit that is mounted within the guitar’s soundhole offering quick and easy access to shape the amplified tone. The unit’s volume control adjusts the Anthem’s output level and the mix control adjusts the mixing between the mic and pickup. The phase switch lets you engage the phase inversion to minimise the amount of feedback produced. A multi-segment battery check allows you to maximise the systems battery life letting you know the status of the battery and ensuring you can continue performing without worry.
