Introducing HiFi Duet – a high-fidelity pickup + microphone mixing system that embodies the pinnacle of multi-source technology, combining our award-winning HiFi pickups with the groundbreaking Silo Microphone. This AB demo played by Bob Minner was recorded at Middletree Studios by Joe Pisapia and features the HiFi Duet recorded direct with no EQ, or post processing compared to a Neumann U67 Tube Microphone with no EQ, or post processing.
HiFi Bridge Plate Pickups
The foundation of the HiFi Duet is a pair of non-intrusive bridge plate sensors that provide exceptional tone, balance, definition, and dynamics. The lightweight pickups and simplified peel-and-stick installation preserve the integrity of your guitar’s bridge plate without altering your acoustic tone while faithfully representing your instrument’s inherent sound.
The Silo Mic Experience
Crafted with precision machining and meticulous tuning, the Silo Mic provides a pure, unaltered sound, a testament to our dedication to bringing studio-quality performance to your fingertips. Leveraging our acclaimed TRU•MIC technology, Silo employs a new microphone capsule and tuned suspension for enhanced ambience and dimension. It excels in providing isolation and feedback resistance, offering a plug-and-play performance in any environment. Its exceptional sound quality invites a confident comparison with your favorite studio microphones.
Multi-Pole Crossover System
The HiFi Duet features an all-discrete studio grade preamp with a multi-pole crossover system that seamlessly blends the HiFi Pickups and Silo Mic for an inspiring feel and sound in any mix position. The highly versatile system ranges between punchy and direct to open and airy studio mic’d sound and everywhere in between. As with all LR Baggs electronics, you can expect the same warmth, purity, presence, low noise, and long battery life our circuity is known for.
