I have the Anthem installed on an old Gibson and it sounds great, except the gain of the A string is not as loud as the other strings with the same force of pick/plucking. Any ideas how to tweak this? Does it sound more like a guitar problem vs pickup placement/issue?
It sounds like there's probably something off with the installation. If you want to email support@lrbaggs.com, we can give you some ideas of how to proceed.
I want to install a pick up like the anthem onto my Martin 00028 but I won't and don't want any holes drilled on the body ( apart from the output plug ) Will this okay for this kind of clean application? Thanks in advance. Will
The Anthem requires a hole for the undersaddle pickup's installation. If you don't want to drill a hole under the saddle, I'd recommend looking into the Lyric. If you're ok with the 3/32" hole under the saddle, the Anthem is a much more flexible system for a wider range of performance situations.
Newbie here...we had the SL installed on a YamahaFN-575E. My daughter also plays bass guitar. Her current amp cord doesn't fit this guitar. What cord do I need and do we need a separate amp for this guitar. I know nothing.
Anthem SL user here. I’m getting plenty of mids and highs but no matter how I set the screw, the bass notes aren’t being picked up well at all. Troubleshooting tips?
I just had Stagepro Anthem installed in my Larrivee and am trying to adjust the mic. But the space you have to reach through inside the battery compartment is is too narrow for the tool provided. When I try to turn it, the "wings" on the sides of the tool catch in the narrow space. Can I file the wings off? Or maybe just use a skinny phillips-head screwdriver?
I was wondering if there a way to disable piezo completely on Anthem?😇 I have both lyric and anthem but for some reason I am liking Lyric as it can tame the tone without piezo sound.
@@LRBaggsResources and can the Anthem systems be wired up to a stereo jack? For plugging the two different sources with a TRS to 2TS to different channels on a mixer or different pedalboards?
@@Mr.Goldbar No, all of the Anthem systems are mono-output only. Since the pickup and mic are on a crossover, splitting the signal into stereo is extremely difficult to manage.
Hello i`m guitarist in south korea. i`m using anthem. but my anthem have vibration problem. My anthem pickup vibrates at a certain frequency. I think the control box vibrates. How can I solve it?
Holes for the output jack and undersaddle pickup usually need to be drilled, but the risk of damaging the guitar is very minimal when installed professionally.
The Stage Pro Anthem's Mic Level cannot be adjusted without muting the guitar. It's recommended that the Mic Level on any Anthem is set up ahead of time using a good pair of headphones or a high-quality PA speaker. If you do that, on-the-fly adjustments shouldn't be necessary.
@@LRBaggsResources When playing live they are very important. Mic is very prone to feedback. Sometimes mid song... without ability to change mic volume fast your song is done.
@@vecnejhipik5349 The mic should not be feeding back at all. If the mic is feeding back at all, the Mic Level may be set too high. If you are getting low frequency feedback from the Anthem, then the UST is feeding back, not the mic. Are you getting high frequency feedback or low?
So with Stagepro Anthem you have to turn off, unplug, remove battery, turn the screw a little, reinstall battery, plug back in, turn back on, test... and then keep repeating this process until you get it right?
I use anthem installed to my Yamaha Ls36. It was fine in the beginning. Later in a gig, I was facing low frequency noice (sound like ground noice) while the other instruments werr doing fine without any noise. In that case we were all using the same power supply. Is there any solution?
Hi David, this sounds like it could be a complicated issue. If you want to email me directly at support@lrbaggs.com, I would be happy to help you resolve this issue.
Thanks to Lrbaggs supoort team for helping me out to find a solution. For those who are curious about it, it was actually a problem that a metal piece(a square shaped) inside the decive which actually touching the cover side and overtime it scratchs off the silver paint, probably causing the grounding issue. Using a small piece of foam Lrbaggs send me between the metal and the cover inside the device fixed it.
I know somebody has answered your question but I've just got the SL and I love it. Its very light and I love the simplicity of it. There's just a volume control and you have to set the mic level for your particular guitar (even the lowest mic setting picks up a little treble and body sound). I only turn the mic up a very little bit otherwise you lose the bass from the undersaddle pickup and it gets a bit thin sounding. I prefer the SL to the full version because it seems like you can have a little less mic without the piezo quacky sound. I can't believe everybody doesn't use one of these pickups, they're so natural sounding.
@@stephentyndall159 Hey, thanks very much for posting this information! Have been an Anthem user for a couple of years, but am shopping for another guitar, and wondered if I might have the SL put in it this time. I think I'd like the simplicity of it too (as well as the savings).
I have a Martin OM-28. For some reason, the mic gives me more low-end than the guitar naturally has, similar to the proximity effect. Is there a way to fix this by adjusting the mic, or is a lowcut preamp the only solution? I did not install this pickup myself
The Anthem mic doesn't carry any low end, so the extra bass would be coming from the undersaddle pickup. If you want to email us at support@lrbaggs.com, we can go over how that might need to be addressed with the installation.
The Anthem was designed specifically for the frequency response, output level and impedance of the Element Piezo. Plugging in an M80 will produce sound, but it's probably going to take a LOT of EQ to get a decent sound.
If I find myself in a situation where I need a sounhole cover, would cutting it to fit around the controls be effective and then, would the mic be mixed off?
Cutting a rubber soundhole cover is a pretty effective way to deal with feedback if you should encounter it. The mic in the Anthem cancels out a lot of reflections in the body, so it's tone should be minimally effected by the soundhole cover.

If the space is too tight, I'd recommend filing the "wings" down or using a small flat-head screwdriver to make any adjustments.

No, the Anthem will always have the undersaddle pickup carrying the low frequencies. The Lyric is the only "mic only" option.
Does the Stage Pro Anthem have the mic presence control that's featured on the Lyric?
No, all of the Anthem systems have a Mic Level control, as shown in this video.

@@Mr.Goldbar No, all of the Anthem systems are mono-output only. Since the pickup and mic are on a crossover, splitting the signal into stereo is extremely difficult to manage.
@@LRBaggsResources So I guess the best option for me is to combine the Lyric mic and the Stage Pro Element seperately?
@@Mr.GoldbarIf you want stereo output with a pickup and a mic, then installing two separate systems will likely be the easiest way to do that.

Did you fix the issue?
@@ryanteacher8134 I completely disassembled it and then reassembled it. One screw was loose, and tightening it fixed the problem.
Is there a risk of damaging the guitar during the installation (drilling etc)
Holes for the output jack and undersaddle pickup usually need to be drilled, but the risk of damaging the guitar is very minimal when installed professionally.
The mic control on the SL and standard Anthem can be adjusted with the pickup on while playing. How do you do the same with the Stage Pro?
The Stage Pro Anthem's Mic Level cannot be adjusted without muting the guitar. It's recommended that the Mic Level on any Anthem is set up ahead of time using a good pair of headphones or a high-quality PA speaker. If you do that, on-the-fly adjustments shouldn't be necessary.

How can we add a rubber feedback buster for live conditions ?
If you need to use a soundhole cover, I'd recommend using a rubber one and cutting a small notch in it so that it fits around the controls.

Hello, i have the m80 in my acoustic. I was wondering, it is possible to plug the m80 instead of the piezo input on the anthem mixer?
The Anthem was designed specifically for the frequency response, output level and impedance of the Element Piezo. Plugging in an M80 will produce sound, but it's probably going to take a LOT of EQ to get a decent sound.
The bigger issue is that the Anthem preamp and the M80 don't usually fit into the same soundhole at the same time.

Cutting a rubber soundhole cover is a pretty effective way to deal with feedback if you should encounter it. The mic in the Anthem cancels out a lot of reflections in the body, so it's tone should be minimally effected by the soundhole cover.
