Anthem
Acoustic Guitar Pickup + Microphone
Studio Mic'd Sound Wherever You Perform
The Award-winning Anthem series, featuring our patented TRU•MIC technology, seamlessly combines a proprietary condenser microphone with our acclaimed Element pickup to deliver the warmth and fidelity of a studio-mic’d guitar anywhere you perform.
TRU•MIC Technology
At the heart of the Anthem is a revolutionary microphone engineered to capture a dynamic studio-mic’d sound for any live performance. The TRU•MIC mounts to the underside of the bridge plate and hovers just 3 mm above its surface to take advantage of the PZM or “boundary” effect. This proprietary mounting system, combined with noise cancellation, frees the mic to perform as if it were outside of the guitar in a studio and maintain remarkable feedback suppression for the stage. The result is a balanced frequency response with excellent clarity for the purest sound you have ever heard amplified. We have paired the Element pickup with the TRU•MIC to provide solidity and punch for low frequencies.
Anthem
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.

“The LR Baggs Anthem is a firm favorite with the pros and for good reason. Using under-saddle piezo and LR Baggs’ True-Mic technology, the Anthem captures all the dynamic range of your instrument and your playing, delivering studio-quality tone. If you’ve got a special acoustic, you need a pickup that’ll let it sing when amplified. This will do the trick.” Read more »
“Best Acoustic Guitar Pickups 2020”
Jonathan Horsley - Guitar World Magazine
“Fingerpicking the Anthem through the larger systems produced a warm, natural tone with just the right amount of presence, while strumming hard created a shimmering sound with no sign of breaking up and plenty of low end…I achieved a volume level far louder than I’d need with no hint of feedback through both the studio monitors and the PA system.” Read more »
Doug Young - Acoustic Guitar Magazine
“…it was easy to get refined, open, and airy sounds that were faithful to the J45’s acoustic voice…If you want more realism and dimension in your amplified acoustic sound but don’t want to be burdened by a complex external interface, the Anthem is worth investigating.”
Art Thompson - Guitar Player Magazine
“In a word, the Anthem sounds outstanding...The signal remained free of feedback, distortion, or any other harmonic unpleasantness with even the loudest amp settings.” Read more »
