The LR Baggs M1 stacked humbucker is already a bit of a classic, but the M80 enhances it in three ways: you can switch between passive and active modes to use the built-in preamp, and there’s a battery life LED meter so you’re never caught short onstage. It’s the only way to take use of the Pure Mini’s incredible transducing capabilities. If you’re unsure about something, hire a professional. Passing the cord through and mounting the port is quite simple if your guitar already has a built-in hole. The Pure Mini’s installation is the one thing that might deter you from purchasing it. The sound is powerful, rich, and well-balanced. To believe it, you must see the Pure Mini for yourself. The region around the bridge is likewise ‘heard’ by these transducers. The vibrations from a pair of guitar strings were picked up by each transducer. The Pure Mini works on the underside of the bridge, further below the bridge. Under-saddle pickups are sandwiched between the saddle and the bridge, bringing them much closer to the guitar strings. Their designs, however, are vastly different. They appear to work like an under-saddle system at first appearance. When you play the strings, they pick up the vibrations from the bridge plate. It’s hard to believe how strong these three tiny transducers can be. It adds to the Element system by focusing on the guitar’s frequency spectrum. It features noise-canceling technology built in, which eliminates the boxy or honky sound produced by your guitar’s soundbox. Baggs’ groundbreaking TRU MIC technology is used in this pickup. You’ll get a device that can compete with high-end electric guitars. It concentrates on the low frequency band more than the high frequency range. Baggs’ proprietary Element system is used in the transducer, which delivers great body articulation and sensitivity while also providing the most dynamic range. It combines an under-saddle transducer’s exceptional sound-amplification powers with an internal guitar microphone’s excellent sound pickup capabilities. The Anthem is a pickup with multiple sources. If you’re serious about turning your acoustic guitar into a live concert-ready gigging instrument, this is the pickup you’ll need. It’s the pinnacle of acoustic guitar pickup technology, with an integrated preamp.

The Anthem is the company’s top-tier product. Baggs offers a variety of creative acoustic guitar pickups.
