LR Baggs M1A Active Acoustic Soundhole Pickup

The LR Baggs M1 Active Acoustic Guitar Soundhole Pickup is a body-sensitive magnetic pickup designed to deliver a natural, articulate acoustic tone with excellent clarity and feedback resistance.

Unlike traditional humbuckers, the M1 features a patented dual-coil design where both coils contribute to the sound. The suspended secondary coil captures the movement of the guitar’s top, adding body resonance and high-frequency detail for a more realistic amplified tone.

The M1 Active version includes a built-in preamp with audiophile circuitry, providing a strong, clear signal directly to an amp or PA—no external preamp required. Its plug-and-play design makes installation simple, while features like volume control and adjustable pole pieces allow precise tonal balancing across all strings.

Designed for reliability on stage, the M1 Active offers excellent feedback resistance, long battery life and a clean, hum-free signal, making it a dependable choice for live performers.
