LR Baggs Anthem Acoustic Guitar Pickup + Microphone
LR Baggs Anthem Acoustic Guitar Pickup.
Studio-Quality Sound Wherever You Perform
The award-winning LR Baggs Anthem series, featuring our patented TRU•MIC technology, effortlessly blends a custom condenser microphone with our renowned Element pickup to deliver the warmth and clarity of a studio-mic’d guitar in any live setting.
TRU•MIC Technology
At the core of the Anthem system is a groundbreaking microphone designed to capture the dynamic, studio-quality sound of your guitar during live performances. The TRU•MIC is mounted beneath the bridge plate, just 3mm above its surface, utilising the PZM (Pressure Zone Microphone) or “boundary” effect. This unique mounting system, combined with advanced noise-cancellation technology, allows the microphone to behave as if it were placed outside the guitar in a studio environment while providing exceptional feedback suppression on stage.
The result? A beautifully balanced frequency response and unparalleled clarity—delivering the purest amplified sound you’ve ever experienced. To enhance the low end, we’ve paired the TRU•MIC with our Element pickup, giving your performance the power and punch it needs in the lower frequencies.

The Anthem has all of the essential tools in one complete system. The feather-weight preamp and controls include: volume, mix, phase and a battery check. The mix control blends from the augmented TRU•MIC position to Element pickup only.
