L.R. Baggs M80

The  soul of your guitar is in the body - from the tone woods that it's made  of, to the fine details in the way it was put together. Standard  magnetic pickups hear only dry strings, resulting in an "electric" sound  that omits the true acoustic voice of your guitar. In contrast, the M80  hears the entire frequency range of the tone woods, thereby  contributing warmth and complexity to your amplified sound.

The  secret of the M80 is a patented, free-floating humbucking coil that  acts as a 3D body sensor. As the soundboard resonates in all 3  dimensions, a proprietary suspension allows each axis of the humbucking  coil to respond with the guitar's movement. A resonant body signal is  produced and blended with the strings to faithfully capture your guitar  like no other magnetic pickup ever created.

The M80 also gives you the choice of active or passive settings with the flick of the switch. The active setting engages a preamp with built-in  EQ and audiophile circuitry for that “high-fidelity” sound Baggs is  known for. Switch to the passive setting and bypass the preamp for a  battery free performance. Other features of the M80 include a battery  check, volume control and adjustable pole pieces for perfect balance  between the strings.
