Context and Positioning
The Anthem SL CL is the classical guitar version of the Anthem SL. It combines an internal Anthem microphone and an LR Baggs Active Element piezo to achieve a realistic amplified sound while maintaining excellent stage control.
Who This Microphone Is For
Ideal for classical guitarists who play amplified (concert, studio, stage) and seek a "like unplugged" feel. The microphone/piezo balance allows you to adapt the sound to your instrument and playing volume, with good resistance to feedback.
Features and Functionalities
The Anthem microphone naturally captures the timbre and attack, while the Element piezo handles the low frequencies that the microphone captures less effectively. Positioned about 3mm above the soundboard, the Anthem benefits from the boundary effect to limit interference. The system includes a noise-cancelling microphone to reduce unwanted and parasitic sounds, allowing only the true sound of the guitar to pass through.
