LRBAGGS M80 Active pickup magnet cartridge



More body...More soul


The soul of a guitar is in its body. The intricacies of the best tonewoods produce very detailed tones that need to be captured. A typical magnetic pickup only hears dry strings, the result is a very #electric# sound that completely lacks the true acoustic qualities of the guitar. The M80, on the other hand, captures the entire frequency range of the tonewoods, so the electrically amplified guitar sound also radiates warmth and variety.


The secret of the M80 lies in the patented, oscillating secondary coil. This coil works simultaneously as a humbucker and 3D structure-borne noise sensor. A specially developed suspension ensures that the humbucker coil follows the deflections of the guitar top in all directions. The result is a sound imprint of the vibrating body, which is mixed with the sound of the strings, creating an overall sound picture that has never before been achieved by a magnetic pickup in this natural way.


The M80 can be operated either actively or passively, which means you have two pickups in one. In active mode, a high-quality preamplifier with tone control is added, which, thanks to its discrete design and selected components, offers the #high-fidelity# sound that Baggs is so well known for. In passive operation, the preamplifier is bypassed, so that a battery can be completely dispensed with.


Other special features of the M80 include a battery status check, a volume control and the height adjustment of the bar magnets to create the perfect sound and volume balance between the individual strings.
