LR Baggs M1 Active Acoustic Guitar Soundhole Humbucker Pickup

The LR Baggs M1 Active Acoustic Guitar Soundhole Humbucker Pickup is designed to capture the full sonic character of your acoustic guitar, combining string clarity with body-sensitive resonance for a rich, natural amplified tone. Unlike standard humbuckers, the M1 uses a patented design where the lower coil actively contributes to the sound, creating a body signal that adds presence, depth, and realism to your amplified performance. Available from Sky Music Australia, it’s a professional solution for gigging and recording acoustic players.

The M1 Active features a plug-and-play preamp with audiophile-quality circuitry, delivering a full, direct signal to any acoustic amplifier or PA system without the need for external preamps. Onboard volume control, adjustable pole pieces, and a prewired strapjack harness provide complete tonal flexibility, while the feedback-resistant design ensures clarity even at high stage volumes.
