Using the Anthem System Congratulations on your very own new Lakewood guitar with
L.R. Baggs Anthem System
e L.R. Baggs Anthem System is fitted with two signal sources. e
“Element” pickup, as an under-saddle transducer, is completed by the
“Tru · Mic”, which sits fixedly mounted to the top inside the guitar right
underneath the bridge. Both sources of this audiophile system convey the
natural tone of your guitar - no more and no less.
1. Mix control (mixes between mic and bridge pickup)
When the mix control is rolled toward the neck, the internal microphone
(Tru · Mic) is carrying the majority of the guitar’s voice with the Element
pickup supporting only the lowest frequencies of the over-all sound.
When rolled toward the bridge, you will hear the full-range Element
pickup only.
Feel free to experiment with different positions as there is a wide range of
great sounding and useful settings.
2. Phase inversion
For inverting the phase of the output signal in relation to the vibrating
string you may press the phase button. Most of the time one of both
possible settings will sound better and/or provide the best feedback
resistance.
We recommend trying both settings each time you set up.
