Amplify Your Acoustic Without Sacrificing Tone!

The LR Baggs Anthem SL Tru-Mic Acoustic Pickup gives you the clear, natural sound you want and none of the feedback or excess controls you don't! This amazing, low-profile pickup is the result of decades of development. It's slim and remarkably easy to install, yet the Anthem SL is versatile enough to accommodate most string spacings and saddle widths. It doesn't use fancy modeling or tone shaping - the Anthem SL is simply an expertly designed microphone that gets to the root of your guitar's natural and beautiful tone. Even its noise-canceling technology won't touch your sound, letting the clear and clean notes ring while keeping feedback at bay.

LR Baggs Anthem SL Acoustic Guitar Pickup Features at a Glance:
  • Microphone acoustic guitar pickup
  • Highly feedback-resistant
  • Noise-canceling technology to avoid "honky" or "boxy" sonic qualities
  • One size fits most common string spacings and saddle widths
  • Even string-to-string balance
  • Pre-set mic and pickup for optimum performance
  • Simple soundhole remote includes volume and mic trim controls
  • Pre-contoured discrete Class A endpin preamp with preset crossover
  • Comes with Battery Bag for secure and unobtrusive battery retention
  • 170 hours of running time from a single 9V battery
  • 250Hz-20kHz frequency response

The ultra-slim and discreet LR Baggs Anthem SL microphone pickup system give your acoustic guitar clear and natural amplified tone!

Studio sound live

I love the new LR Baggs Anthem SL. I had it installed in a 2003 Taylor 314-L2, limited edition with Big Leaf Flame Maple back and sides. The clarity of the signal is studio quality, clear and crisp a... read more [+]nd just like the natural sound of the instrument. But what's really amazing is there is NO FEEDBACK even when playing with a full band.
The SL version is $100 less than the Tru-Mic, but electrically they are virtually identical and sound the same... I know, I have the Tru-Mic in my custom Breedlove. close [-]

LR Baggs Anthem SL

by J Speckman from Jacksonville,FL

Music Background: Guitar builder and player 40 yrs.
I recently put the Anthem SL in two guitars. One was a dreadnought and the other a 000 size. I was immediately impressed with the true acoustic sound the pick-up displayed when amplified. Both guitars... read more [+] sound equally good. I didn't think I needed to invest in the more expensive Anthem because I'm not a professional musician and didn't need the balancing feature between the under saddle transducer and microphone. The factory setting is fine for ocassional plug-ins. Besides, you can control the balance using the adjustment screw on the volume control. I found that setting the balance heavy toward the under saddle transducer and a little for the microphone worked best for me. I would highly recommend this pick-up for anyone who wants to amplify their guitars' true acoustic sound. close [-]

Anthem SL Classical is Fantastic Tone

I have been following the development of the Anthem SL Classical for some time. I have never been very happy with the way pickups sound in Nylon Flamenco guitars. I had Mark Magdichx1265 order one o... read more [+]f these from LR Baggs and I could not be happier. Once you mix in the (tru mic) and blend it in. The sound sounds like your guitar. I am so looking forward to being able to turn up my DeVoe and play loud with no feedback. I also found that the install did not change the tone of the guitar unplugged. This is truly a game changer product. If you have determined that a pick up is the right thing for you and your guitar this is really the only way to go. I think I may even try to go wireless as we.. Flamenco Fusion on my guitar loud with out feedback and bleed in from using mic is so very welcome. My review is directed at the LR Baggs Anthem SL Classical specifically voiced for Nylon Strings. Thanks Sweetwater and L.R Baggs close [-]

LR Baggs Anthem SL

by John from Upper Midwest

Due to unsatisfactory natural acoustic sound and an irritating crackle I took out the undersaddle/microphone system on my D-18. Time for something new. I had seen the LR Baggs Anthem system demo'ed on... read more [+]line and was impressed with its natural acoustic sound. No boomy bass or piezo sizzle. Realizing an online review does not a good product make, I took a leap of faith and ordered the Anthem SL system from Sweetwater.
I did the install myself but if you don't have experience working with acoustic guitars please seek pro assistance.
The sound of my Martin through a Princeton Reverb was outstanding!
Can't wait to run it through my LR Baggs Para DI into a PA.
Extremely satisfied with the Sweetwater service, Thanks TJ!
I recommend the LR Baggs Anthem SL highly. close [-]

I haven't had this level of attention from any other venue I have ever dealt with. This should be the benchmark all business learn from. Fast shipping, and very accurate. The communication is world class. You guys rock.
