X BRIDGE US STANDARD GOLD

X BRIDGE US STANDARD GOLD Review



Imagine one guitar that is perfect for blues or rock and roll, has the ultimate clean sound, is great for jazz and has a great acoustic sound without feedback. Sounds like an expensive dream, but chances are that you already own this guitar. It's your beloved Strat. And all that it has been waiting for to unleash this hidden potential is the new vibrato bridge pickup, the X-Bridge from LR Baggs. When we decided to apply our fifteen years of transducer design experience to amplifying the electric guitar, we were faced with the task of first choosing a guitar and then a bridge. The Strat was a pretty obvious choice. But when we interviewed guitar makers about bridges, we found that there was no existing bridge that had the qualities that we were looking for. So we designed our own. By starting with a white sheet of paper, we did not have to shoehorn our pickups into an off-the-shelf bridge. We could then design the bridge and pickups as an integrated system without compromise. The product of our research, the X-Bridge is beautiful, responsive and dynamic, and has a jaw dropping sound that will redefine what a Strat can do.

LR BAGGSSOUNDHOLE MAGNETIC PICKUP

LR BAGGSSOUNDHOLE MAGNETIC PICKUP Review



The M1 is a passive soundhole magnetic pickup that features outstanding body sensitivity with great warmth and presence. Its dual-coil design employs L.R. Baggs' exclusive triaxial dynamic technology to produce clear, rich tones that are resistant to feedback, noise and hum, with string and body sound all in one. The M1 redefines what is possible from a soundhole pickup and eliminates the tradeoff between ease and performance. It's never been easier to get superior live sound!

IBEAM ACTIVE SYSTEM

IBEAM ACTIVE SYSTEM Review



The Ibeam active system combines a Patent Pending bridge plate transducer with an all-discrete Class A endpin preamp and volume control 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. The Patent Pending Ibeam itself is the heart of the system and weighs only 1/3rd of an ounce. This revolutionary bridge plate transducer easily sticks to the bridge plate on the inside of the guitar and does not affect the acoustic tone of the guitar in any way. The Ibeam is microphonic enough to hear the rich (but correct) texture of finger squeak and top tapping, but is resistant to feedback and gives you excellent amplified sound without a hint of piezo quack. Included with each Ibeam is a placement jig that allows you to install the pickup in minutes and get the ideal placement for the transducer inside the guitar. The Ibeam preamp is made up of Class A discrete circuitry and built on our stereo Strapjack plus. Pre-tuned to deliver that great LR Baggs performance from the Ibeam in any situation, it is ultra-quiet and faithfully amplifies the sound and dynamics of the Ibeam. There is even a second passive channel available if you would like to add a magnetic or undersaddle pickup to compliment the Ibeam.

LR Baggs Mixpro (Standard)

LR Baggs Mixpro (Standard) Review



LR Baggs Mixpro (Standard) Feature

  • Belt-clip Preamp, designed for Stage Use
  • Works with almost any pickup combination
  • Class A all discrete circuitry for sweet, transparent sound
  • Output phase control to minimize feedback
  • Phantom or 9V battery powered, switchable, Tunable low-pass filter
The L.R. Baggs MixPro is a two-channel preamp/eq designed specifically for stage use. It can be clipped to your belt or mounted to a microphone stand for easy access. A clever two-band equalizer allows flexible yet easy to use control over the sound, without adding noise or discoloration. Excellent for dual pickup systems, such as an under-saddle and mic combination. Includes phase switch, phantom power, variable gain for both channels, tunable low-pass filter, input blender, and more. Note! Works with both passive and active pickups, or any combination of the two. The Mixpro is a belt-clip preamp/mixer that allows a perfect combination of almost any sort of pickup or mini mic. It places every essential control right at the player's fingertips, eliminating the need to modify a prize guitar for onboard electronics -- or to carry around a heavy, obtrusive rack. The Mixpro provides 9V phantom power for both channels, and, when it is used with the Buffer Jack accessory, you can say goodbye to batteries on your guitar. The MixPro is the recommended choice for players who want to amplify and blend two sources, such as a guitar pickup and a mini-mic. Its two identical input stages work well with almost any type of pickup. The two input channels are blended into a mono output signal; the blend and overall tone can be controlled with the mix and EQ controls included with the preamp. Note! Players who only need to amplify one source should consider the LR Baggs Para D.I., LR Baggs GigPro or the LR Baggs Feedback Master.

LR Baggs Anthem Tru-Mic Acoustic Microphone/Piezo Pickup System

LR Baggs Anthem Tru-Mic Acoustic Microphone/Piezo Pickup System Review



LR Baggs Anthem Tru-Mic Acoustic Microphone/Piezo Pickup System Feature

  • Designed to work with standard acoustic guitars Note: Not good for a split saddle or an adjustable saddle Allows you to adjust a full blend between Element undersaddle pickup and microphone Controller rests inside top of soundhole Tru-Mic technology features noise-canceling mic with very high gain before feedback Mic housing mounts to the bridge plate and capsule hovers 3mm above its surface Multi-segment battery check
After 30 years of effort, LR Baggs has created the Anthem Tru-Mic acoustic guitar microphone which does what every amplified acoustic guitarist has dreamed about and no other pickup manufacturer has been able to create yetunlocked the potential of a microphone to capture the very essence of your guitar with high-feedback resistance for demanding stages. Not obvious, but equally important, is that the natural ease and dynamics of the Anthem Tru-Mic guitar microphone liberates you to play freely without having to compensate for the pickup system. Now you're free to play the way you like, plugged in or not. For the Anthem acoustic guitar mic, LR Baggs used no modeling or illusions. It's not "like" a mic. It's not "like" your guitar. This is a mic, and what you will experience is your guitarloud and with the fidelity and dynamics that come from a real microphone. Tru-Mic Technology At the heart of the LR Baggs Anthem guitar mic is a revolutionary type of microphone. Using a proprietary noise-canceling mic, the Anthem Tru-Mic eliminates any annoying honky or boxy qualities that have been previously associated with internal miking, leaving the pure and natural sound of your guitar the way only a real mic is capable of doing. Because this LR Baggs acoustic mic is positioned within a few millimeters of the guitar top, it has very high gain before feedback. The mic housing mounts easily to the bridge plate and the mic capsule hovers just 3mm above its surface to take advantage of the PZM or boundary effect. This Tru-Mic technology picks up the sound of the vibrations of the entire soundboard and makes the LR Baggs guitar mic unusually free from placement issues. Mic and Piezo Pickup: A Radical Technology The sound quality and feedback resistance of the Anthem Tru-Mic acoustic microphone now allows the mic to be the primary sound source in a mic/pickup system. This is unlike previous systems where only a small amount of the mic could be used to add some air to the dominant pi

ELEMENT PICKUP PAIRED W/ TRU-MIC PRESET EQ AND VOLUME CONTROL

ELEMENT PICKUP PAIRED W/ TRU-MIC PRESET EQ AND VOLUME CONTROL Review



This revolutionary new amplification system features our patent pending Tru-Mic microphone technology. The mic is mounted to the bridge plate inside of the guitar to capture the majority of your guitar's true voice in a way that only a microphone is capable of - plus it is amazingly feedback resistant. Our Element under saddle pickup carries only the lowest frequencies for punch and authority. The SL, with a pre-set mix between the mic and pickup and all of the electronics are housed in the end pin, features only a small volume control at the sound hole. It is ideal for non-standard sound hole sizes and for those of you that don't want a larger control unit hanging on the guitar top. Now you can plug in, crank it and sound more real than you ever thought possible!
