An LR Baggs Solution Born from Decades of Research
After years of development dedicated to acoustic amplification, LR Baggs designed the ANTHEM-SL to meet a simple expectation from guitarists: to regain the essence of the acoustic sound once plugged in. The approach is direct and musical: an internal microphone close to the soundboard, supported by an active piezo Element to maintain body in the low end without losing the finesse of playing.
For the Acoustic Guitarist Who Wants to Play "As If Unplugged," Even Amplified
The ANTHEM-SL is aimed at stage and studio musicians seeking a discreet, effective, and faithful system: powerful strumming, nuanced fingerstyle, vocal accompaniment... the response remains natural, and the guitar retains its personality. The goal is to allow you to keep the same touch and dynamic references, whether unplugged or amplified.
"Boundary" Microphone + Element: Clarity, Solid Bass, and Simple Control
At the heart of the system, the ANTHEM-SL microphone is positioned about 3 mm above the soundboard to take advantage of the "boundary" effect, which helps reduce interference and improve signal coherence. A new type of noise-cancelling microphone helps eliminate unwanted sounds to let through the essentials: attack, dynamics, and the guitar's grain. Additionally, the active piezo Element reinforces the bass frequencies that the mic picks up less, and the centered blend offers a natural balance between definition and depth. The control box favors efficiency: an immediate volume adjustment and a fine-tuning of the mic/piezo balance to adapt your sound to the stage, playing style, and volume level.
