LR Baggs Pickup Systems | Lyric

Beyond Pickups. Beyond Compare.

There's no argument that a microphone is the best way to capture the sound of an acoustic guitar, but until now, using a microphone for most live performances has been an elusive dream. Lyric, the next step in TRUMIC technology, is the long overdue realisations of this dream. Without a pickup, Lyrics microphone accurately transports your guitar's actual voice to a live audience for the most realistic and inspiring sound you will ever experience.

TRUMIC Technology

LR Baggs' featherweight microphone, each high-graded for ideal response, mounts to the underside of the bridge plate with simple peel-and-stick adhesive to preserve the integrity of your instrument. The microphone leverages the pressure-zone principle by positioning the capsule just 3mm from the surface of the top to hear the entire soundboard for even balance and tone. And the microphones proximity to the top allows high gain before feedback. Unlike other attempts to use an internal microphone, Lyric employs noise cancelling technology that rejects boxy reflections inside of the acoustic chamber. This patented minor miracle enables the mic to act as if it were outside of the guitar delivering a clear and open performance.

Circuit Innovations

In a studio, you would have to use an entire rack of gear to achieve what LR Bagg's have built into Lyrics tiny circuit board. Their lead engineer, Tommy Linn, created several black box circuit innovations that unlock the potential of the microphone. The first tightens the lower frequencies for a punchier attack with natural dynamics. The second maintains the microphones sweetness no matter how hard you play. The third innovation is an adjustable presence control that dials high frequency response perfectly for your guitar. Wrap all of this in all discrete, high-fidelity mic pre and you have a world class microphone system as an integral part of your guitar anywhere you plug in.
