Lr Baggs Lyric Microphone

A great mic and some cool technology to electrify your nylon-string guitar.
The Lyric Classical now pairs ground-breaking TRU•MIC technology with a high-fidelity preamplifier specially crafted for nylon-string guitars. Engineered for live performances, the Lyric Classical provides much of the same benefits as external mic'ing while achieving unprecedented feedback resistance and isolation for the stage.

TRU•MIC Technology
The featherweight microphone, each high-graded for ideal response, mounts to the underside of the bridge plate with simple peel-&-stick adhesive to preserve the integrity of your instrument. The microphone leverages the "pressure-zone" principle by positioning the capsule just 3mm from the surface of the top to hear the entire soundboard for even balance and tone. And the microphone's proximity to the top allows high gain before feedback. Unlike other attempts to use an internal microphone, Lyric employs noise canceling technology that rejects "boxy" reflections inside of the acoustic chamber. This patent pending minor miracle enables the mic to act as if it were outside of the guitar delivering a clear and open performance.

Circuit Innovations
In a studio, you would have to use an entire rack of gear to achieve what we have built into Lyric's tiny circuit board. Lead engineer, Tommy Linn, created several patent pending "black box" circuit innovations that unlock the potential of the microphone. The first tightens the lower frequencies for a punchier attack with natural dynamics. The second maintains the microphone's sweetness no matter how hard you play. The third innovation, not patent pending but useful, is an adjustable "presence" control that dials high frequency response perfectly for your guitar. Wrap all of this in all discrete, high-fidelity mic pre and you have a world class microphone system as an integral part of your guitar anywhere you plug in.
