Think you know what an internal microphone is? Think again. This mic will shatter your preconceptions.
This revolutionary new amplification system features our patent-pending Tru-Mic microphone technology. The mic is mounted on the bridge inside the guitar to capture the majority of your guitar's true voice in a way that only a microphone is capable of - plus it's incredibly resistant to feedback. Our Element under the nut carries only the lowest frequencies for punch and power.
A controller mounted in the sound hole has volume, mix and phase controls with a battery check function so you can always be sure of your drums at any gig.
Now you can plug it in, turn it on, and look more real than you ever thought possible.
After 30 years of effort, we've done what every amplified acoustic guitarist dreams of and what no other microphone manufacturer has been capable of: unlocking the potential of a microphone to capture the very essence of your guitar, with high resistance to feedback for demanding scenes.
What's not obvious, but just as important, is that the Anthem Tru-Mic's natural ease and dynamics allow you to play freely without having to compensate for the sound system. Now you're free to play however you want, plugged in or not.
For Anthem, we used no modeling, no illusions, it's not "like" a mic, it's not "like" your guitar. It's a mic and what you're going to experience is your guitar, loud and with the fidelity and dynamics that come from a real microphone.
TRUE-MIC TECHNOLOGY
At the heart of the Anthem patent pending is a revolutionary new type of microphone. Utilizing a patented noise-canceling pickup, the Anthem Tru-Mic eliminates any annoying honky or boxy qualities that have previously been associated with internal micing, leaving your guitar sounding pure and natural as only a real mic is capable of.
As the mic is positioned a few millimeters from the guitar top, it has very high gain before feedback. The mic body mounts easily to the bridge plate and the mic capsule sits just 3mm above its surface to take advantage of the PZM effect, or boundary effect. This Tru-Mic technology picks up the sound of vibrations from the entire soundboard and makes the mic exceptionally free from placement issues.
MICROPHONE AND PICKUP
A RADICALLY NEW TECHNOLOGY
The sound quality and feedback resistance of the Anthem Tru-Mic now allows the mic to be the primary sound source in a mic/pickup system. This is different from previous systems where only a small amount of the mic could be used to add some air to the dominant signal from the pickup. This is a radically new relationship between a mic and a pickup, as all the detail, warmth and personality of your guitar is captured by the Tru-mic. The pickup is augmented, for the lowest frequencies only, by our Element pickup under the nut.
CONTROLS
The Featherweight control unit contains all the essential elements: volume, mix and phase. It snuggles securely just inside the rosette for easy fingertip access. The mix control allows full mixing between augmented mic and full-range mic. A multi-segment battery control allows you to maximize battery life and peace of mind.
Under the hood lies a completely discreet preamp/mixer with our pure, clean, signature LR Baggs sound that is trusted by top artists around the world. We've done all the engineering so you can plug in and enjoy the true sound of your guitar and the way you play, night after night.
