L.R. Baggs M1 A Activ soudhole magnetic pickup

M1™ Series
Body-Sensitive Magnetic Pickup

Anthem Acoustic Guitar Gold Award 2014

The M1 is for players who love big acoustic tone
with high feedback resistance on any stage.
Combining the natural characteristics of your guitar’s soundboard
with a punchy string attack,
the M1’s body-sensitive design provides enhanced realism
while cutting through a loud mix.

Body-Sensitive Design

The M1 is a patented humbucking pickup with a twist.
In a common stacked humbucker,
the lower coil cancels hum, but doesn’t contribute anything positive
to the sound.
We unlock the lower coil with a carefully tuned support
that allows it to capture higher frequency resonances.
As the pickup moves with the guitar’s soundboard,
a body signal is created in the suspended coil
that adds presence and realism to your amplified sound.
