BELTCLIP MIXER

BELTCLIP MIXER Review



Leave your rack at home. The MixPro is a dual input belt clip preamp/mixer that will allow you to perfectly combine two of just about any sort of pickup or mini-mic. It places every essential control you need right at your fingertips eliminating the need to butcher a prize guitar for on-board electronics - or to carry around a heavy, clunky rack. The MixPro provides 'phantom' power to both channels and, when it is used with the buffer jack accessory, you can say goodbye to batteries on your guitar! Under the hood you will find the great sounding innovative circuitry that you've come to expect from LR Baggs. First, just like the best mic preamps available, the circuitry is 100% Class A and discrete from input to output. Secondly, you will find every control you need to easily tune each pickup to perfectly compliment the other. Then, for the ultimate sweetness, the combined signal is routed then through an entirely passive EQ. We think that you will find that the MixPro is so easy to use and sounds so good that you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

LR Baggs Anthem (Microphone Guitar Pickup)

LR Baggs Anthem (Microphone Guitar Pickup) Review



LR Baggs Anthem (Microphone Guitar Pickup) Feature

  • Microphone Guitar Pickup
  • Natural Amplified Sound From Your Acoustic! Guitar Pickup
  • Microphone Pickup for Acoustic Guitar
The LR Baggs Anthem Tru-Mic Acoustic Pickup will change the way you look at mic pickups! This feedback-busting, natural-sounding pickup is the result of over 30 years of effort. There's no modeling and no illusions going on here. The Anthem is strictly a well-designed microphone that picks up your guitar - clean, clear, and full of dynamics. While many guitar mics are way too prone to feedback or just as bad... give you that annoying "boxy sound" when used alone... the LR Baggs Anthem is like having your acoustic sound just "turned up," so it's full of detail, warmth, and personality.So how does it work? We won't launch entirely into all the nitty gritty and the exhausting research the LR Baggs team went through to design the Anthem. What we will say is that they developed proprietary noise-canceling technology that avoids that helps avoid that honky/boxy sound and keep your acoustic tone sounding pure and natural. Plus, a specially designed placement system picks up the sound of the vibrations of your entire soundboard, so the Anthem is surprisingly free of placement issues. The control unit of the Anthem is extremely lightweight and features just the essentials: Volume, Mix, and Phase. It nestles inside the soundhole for easy fingertip access. With the Mix control, you can blend between the augmented mic and the full-range pickup. There's also a multi-segment battery check to maximize battery life.LR Baggs Anthem Acoustic Guitar Pickup Features at a Glance:Microphone acoustic guitar pickupFeedback-avoiding designNoise-canceling technology to avoid "honky" or "boxy" sonic qualitiesTru-Mic system makes the mic unusually free from placement issuesControl unit fits inside soundhole: Volume, Mix, and Phase controls

RTS II .120

RTS II .120 Review



This system combines our Ribbon Transducer under saddle pickup with an active and pre-EQ'd end pin jack for true plug-and-play performance. The miniature preamp features the same great audiophile all discrete pure 'Class A' circuitry and hand selected FET input stage that we use in all of our other preamps. The voicing of this preamp is slightly warmer than the original RTS.

LR Baggs Dual Source System, .090

LR Baggs Dual Source System, .090 Review



LR Baggs Dual Source System, .090 Feature

  • Includes Remote Control II soundhole mounted controller
  • Includes Dual Source preamp / stereo mixer
  • Includes Ribbon Transducer (RT) pickup (.090" width) and Mic pickup
  • Includes pre-wired strapack and wiring instructions
If you have ever wondered how LR Baggs can make such great sounding stuff for such a low price, here it is - they do more with less than any audio designer that we know of. They strive to find the most elegant and simple circuit solutions possible. They are also continually working to eliminate any unnecessary or sonically degrading parts in their circuitry. Not only does this make for the purest possible sound, but it actually reduces the cost. The entire Dual Source Preamp/Mixer signal path, for example, contains only six transistors and a few film caps. LR Baggs insists on all-discrete Class A circuitry, with no negative feedback, for the lowest noise and the sweetest, most transparent sound possible. Contrast this with common "Op-Amp" based circuits, where each Op-Amp contains dozens of transistors, and the superiority of their designs will be apparent. The Dual Source Preamp The Dual Source Preamp is a miniature onboard microphone/pickup mixer. It features all-discrete, Class A circuitry and provides a perfect mix between most popular pickups and mini-microphones. Like a rack in a matchbox, the Dual Source Preamp provides a great sounding, simple to use and affordable way to enjoy the benefits of a blended system without hauling around a rack full of gear or cutting your guitar for knobs. The Remote Control II Unique to the Dual Source, and a must for stage use, is the exclusive soundhole mounted controller, the Remote Control II. It attaches nondestructively to the edge of the soundhole and puts master volume and microphone volume controls right at your fingertips. In mix mode the Remote Control provides a pan control between the pickup and mic, plus a master volume. However, simply flipping a switch separates the mic and pickup for independent access by simply plugging in a stereo "Y" cable. Importantly, in split mode, the Remote Control provides individual volume controls for both the mic and pickups.
