The soul of your guitar is in the body – from the tone woods that it’s made
of, to the fine details in the way it was put together. Standard
magnetic pickups hear only dry strings, resulting in an “electric” sound
that omits the true acoustic voice of your guitar. In contrast, the M80
hears the entire frequency range of the tone woods, thereby
contributing warmth and complexity to your amplified sound.
The secret of the M80 is a patented, free-floating humbucking coil
that acts as a 3D body sensor. As the soundboard resonates in all 3
dimensions, a proprietary suspension allows each axis of the humbucking
coil to respond with the guitar’s movement. A resonate body signal is
produced and blended with the strings to faithfully capture your guitar
like no other magnetic pickup ever created.
The M80 also gives you the choice of active or passive settings with
the flick of the switch. The active setting engages a preamp with
built-in EQ and audiophile circuitry for that “high-fidelity” sound
Baggs is known for. Switch to the passive setting and bypass the preamp
for a battery free performance. Other features of the M80 include a
battery check, volume control and adjustable pole pieces for perfect
balance between the strings.
