The
LR Baggs M1 Active takes the M1 pickup to a new level of performance and
convenience. The built-in all class A electronics eliminate the need for
any external preamps and makes the M1 Active compatible with any outboard
equipment. And the new volume control gives you fingertip access in any
performing
situation.
The
M1 Active is a humbucking pickup -- with a twist. In a common stacked humbucker,
the second, lower coil cancels hum, but doesn't contribute anything positive
to the sound. In fact, it can muddy the sound of the main coil. We unlock
the second coil. This allows it to make a positive sonic contribution while
maintaining the pure open sound of a single coil -- but without the hum.
In
the M1 Active, the hum-canceling coil is suspended under the main coil
by a tuned support that allows it to move in three dimensions. The primary
coil moves with the guitar top and creates a body signal in the suspended
secondary coil. This brings this pickup to life, with string and body sound
all in one. It's like having a dual pickup system in your soundhole.
LR
Baggs carefully tuned the support to control motion in all three dimensions.
