Baggs Lyric Acoustic Guitar Microphone System

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to offer the Baggs Lyric Acoustic Guitar Microphone System—a game-changing internal acoustic amplification system designed to capture the authentic, uninhibited voice of your acoustic guitar.

Unlike traditional piezo pickups that focus solely on string displacement under the saddle, the Lyric utilizes an ultra-lightweight internal boundary microphone placed directly underneath the guitar’s bridge plate. Engineered with LR Baggs’ proprietary TRU•MIC technology and micro-capsule architecture, the Lyric sits just 3mm off the top surface to harness the natural motion of the soundboard while remaining virtually immune to internal body cavity boominess and low-end feedback.

The system is backed by a custom-tuned discrete circuit signal processor that marries studio-grade analog microphone preamplification with real-time signal shaping. Featuring a soundhole-mounted volume control wheel and an adjustable presence trim pot, the Lyric brings true high-fidelity studio recording tone directly to the stage without requiring permanent structural alterations to your instrument.

Sanctuary Expert Note

For acoustic players who desire the breath, dynamic nuance, and organic air of a high-end condenser studio microphone—without the restrictive positioning or feedback nightmares of a external stage mic—the Lyric is the premier choice. It translates the true acoustic woodiness and percussive top dynamics of your guitar straight through the PA or acoustic amp.
