  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Overall Opinion

  (Originally written by denisTAITHE/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  I bought it on ebay and just received it from the US: It's a true jewel... The sound is perfectly well balanced with deep bass and crystal-clear highs (maybe a bit too much). It's perfect for playing rhythm guitar and finger picking live. The response is very musical. For studio recordings, the only solution is a good condenser mic.

  jielbi's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " unequaled"

  Overall Opinion

  I use the microwave for 5 years on a Furch acoustic and without messing ..... I have not found a better today even in very large budget, a full-spectrum and powerful almost no feedback (except high level with distortion + wah .... so if possible on an acoustic rendering is bluffing) a short sale that makes us stop buying

  musicben's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Definitely the best!"

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a week.
  
  I had tried before two, whose Dean Markley ProMag (to leak!)
  
  What I like: the sound - and the real at all levels: strings, drum, percussion, basically a micro electric guitar but with some acoustic features, a real bomb. Paid a clap because it's a bit in the midrange
  
  Value / Price: This is a good investment, but basically, one microphone amplifies several skyscrapers, one re-discovers his guitars on stage! For € 200, this is the purchase of new guitars that one avoids!

  Overall Opinion

  I just got it after ordering on eBay in the United States.
  
  
  
  I built on my old Gibson J45 .... and it's beautiful!
  
  
  
  I played before with piezo on good electro ... but really ... we find the sound of the guitar.
  
  
  
  Report / excellent quality. Especially a serious shop on Ebay.
  
  Received 10j nickel.
  
  
  
  The advantage is that it's mobile!

  Overall Opinion

  How long have you use it?
  
  3 weeks
  
  
  
  What is the particular feature you like best and least?
  
  I was looking for a micro Fidler to the sound of the guitar, for scne, and I do not like the sound piezo, APRS lot of research and does my choice was the report M1.Or this microphone is made all my expectations: all sound Balance of good bass, treble crystalline harmonics, rponse a good, sound "acoustic" and recordings of the vibrations of the guitar. It is a micro magntique but with extra depth. In addition it is easy to assemble and disassemble the battery lasts longer and provides an LR Baggs in the supplmentaire.Quant Feedback is true that the M1 is very sensitive. However the Aesthetics is dated.
  
  Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
  
  Yes, I have had other models of competing brands that do not believe me.
  
  
  
  How do you report qualitprix?
  
  Price not trs INTERESTED in France: about 250.00, so I ordered the EU to 146.00 all inclusive and I reu in 6 days!
  
  
  
  Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...
  
  This is the kind of micro especially one keeps an instrument of good quality.

  Overall Opinion

  Install for one week on my Taylor 410, tested and recorded yesterday while In the afternoon.
  
  We hear much trs sound picked up by the micro indoor, I think it takes getting used to ...
  
  It reproduces the sound of the guitar Manir Fidler enough even if we rework the qualisation dsirs.Quoiqu on its own as it may, it is much better (and far! !) Systm than any piezo I can not stand the sound , Trs sound as "right". That said, a not worth taking a classic sound but with a condenser microphone in a noisy environment, trs was fine.
  
  Mj 03/2008: APRS studio recording "srieux" I think it is more suited than the rhythmic picking and then working hard to legalization.
  
  Here are some samples ( http://stephanelegout.free.fr/stephanelegout/Samples.html ) so that you do you even an IDE.
  
  160 bought new, it's only a matter !

  miconmac's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  This is the version marketed by Takamine as the tri-ax. This is indeed a LRBaggs M1, but has the advantage of having a switch that allows you to choose between active or passive mode. It has both a passive and an M1 M1 Active: no need to ask about which model to buy two ;-). Passive mode offers two advantages: if the battery loose (it is given for 1000 hours, but hey ...), we can still use it: you just need to boost the input table. The other advantage of passive mode is that it can possibly involve the M1 with another collection system. The passive mode is better to attack a proper preamp-like Fishman blender or TubeCooler Taka ...
  
  
  
  But the M1 replicated a sufficiently complete and its natural to be alone. This sound is a mix between an electret micro-issues in less feedback and a piezo-that "couacquerait" and not a very natural magnetic pickup.
  
  The microphone picks up three types of sources: the vibration of the strings - upper-coil, the vibration of the guitar - in contact with the soundboard, and the inside of the body-coil-less. The microphone transmits fairly accurately the sound inside the body of the guitar, and even if you're having fun singing in the roses, for example. ;-)
  
  Nothing to do with the magnetic pickups entry-level producing an acoustic sound vaguely and without that of an electric guitar. With M1, you really an effective and professionalism to make good sound stage.
  
  
  
  In the studio, there is no substitute for great condenser microphones. But if we look a little folk's "electrified", it is certain that the M1 can be of great service. It may also prove to be a good addition to taking two sources.
  
  
  
  The small addition to the magnetic technology is that it opens the door to sound closer to the electric guitar. Nothing prevents connecting the M1 on a guitar amp in addition to the sound. On an AC30 example, we get fantastic sounds quite reminiscent of the bass drum Rockabilly.
  
  
  
  The value is most excellent: 160 euros, it is not even the price of a micro stage "average". And if you have several guitars, nothing easier than to remove one to put on another. Not even need to loosen the strings! Obviously, it is necessary to equip each of the guitars with the cable connected to a jack / belt clip.
  
  
  
  I was extremely skeptical before I had the opportunity to try the M1: I never imagined that a magnetic pickup can produce a sound as full and natural. But this is the case ...
  
  
  
  Lrbaggs Hats off!
  
  
  
  EDIT 4 months later
  
  I did two concerts with the microphone mounted on my GuildD55, amplified through a good "small" sound system (EV Q66 amplifier, EV SX300 speakers, table Soundcraft B200 series). I can only confirm all the good things about this mic: its very natural, very musical and obviously without the "quack" characteristic of the piezo pickup. No problems with feedback and feedback in spite of a high volume because I was playing in training "rock" (bass-drums-guitar crunch).
  
  I was also able to listen to my guitar played in a group we then replaced on stage and I was amazed by the quality of the reproduced sound of my guitar: I found the sound feature of the D55 with virtually no change due to amplification.
  
  I also confirm that the micro installs and withdraws quickly: just loosen two screws, remove the micro from the roses and pushing the strings slightly and then remove the mini-jack (that remains in the body of guitar). In less time than it takes to write, there is the original acoustic folk!
  
  In my case, I found the perfect solution for my amplified acoustic guitar. I imagined that by buying it I might need it for adding a piezo sound really full. But it is totally unnecessary.
  
  
  
  Re-lrbaggs Hats off!

  vomitocup's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a week to play with friends (I do not do concerts).
  
  -What I like most is obviously the sound lightweight and lively. Also the fact that the microphone picks up the vibration of the body is really more indniable: have fun tapping anywhere on the guitar just to see her as a given.
  
  What I like least is the Aesthetics of micro showy enough: we love it or hate it.
  
  -I possde the Fishman Neo-D
  
  -The nine who pay about 125, the price quality ratio is excellent!
  
  -Yes I would do the same choice without hsiter!
