PREMIER
GUITAR NAMM 2013 EDITOR'S PICK
"LR Baggs new-at-NAMM Lyric acoustic microphone system impressed us with
its unobtrusive design, but blew us away with its super-organic, natural
tones and feedback resistance."
BEYOND PICKUPS – BEYOND COMPARE
There's no argument that a mic is the best way to capture the sound of an
acoustic guitar, but until now, using a mic for most live performances has
been an elusive dream. Lyric, the next step in Tru•Mic technology, is the
long overdue realization of this dream. Without a pickup, Lyric's microphone
accurately transports your guitar's actual voice to a live audience for the
most realistic and inspiring sound you will ever experience.
TRU•MIC TECHNOLOGY
Our featherweight microphone, each high-graded for ideal response, mounts to the
underside of the bridge plate with simple peel-&-stick adhesive to preserve the
integrity of your instrument. The mic 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 mic's proximity to the top allows
high gain before feedback. Unlike other attempts to use an internal mic, Lyric
employs noise canceling technology that rejects "boxy" reflections inside of the
acoustic chamber. This patent pending 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 we
have built into Lyric's tiny circuit board. Our lead engineer, Tommy Linn,
created several patent pending "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 mic's sweetness
no matter how hard you play. The third innovation, not patent pending but
useful, 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.
