The Award-winning Anthem series, featuring the patented TRU•MIC technology, seamlessly combines a proprietary condenser microphone with our acclaimed Element pickup to deliver the warmth and fidelity of a studio-mic’d guitar anywhere you perform.
(microphone with element undersaddle pickup, preamp, volume control and endpin jack)
AT A GLANCE:
- Internally mounted microphone combined with undersaddle element pickup
- Design allows for high gain before feedback and noise cancelling technology
- Featherweight control unit fits inside soundhole with Volume, Mix, and Phase controls
TRU•MIC TECHNOLOGY
The featherweight microphone, each high-graded for ideal response, mounts to the underside of the bridge plate with simple peel-and-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, Anthem employs noise canceling technology that rejects “boxy” reflections inside of the acoustic chamber. This patented 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 they have built into the unit's tiny circuit board. Their engineers have created several “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 is an adjustable “presence” control that dials high frequency response perfectly for your guitar. Wrap all of this in all discrete, high-fidelity microphone along with the Element pickup and you have a world class microphone system as an integral part of your guitar anywhere you plug in.
