As with the other acoustic pickups Lowden use, L.R. Baggs has made a two-piece under saddle element, especially for Lowden and adjusted the mountings for the inside sound-hole controls to suit their A-frame bracing. The Anthem has a naturally warm and pure acoustic tone. The ability to blend in the signal from the under-bridge mic to a variety of extents is helpful both in terms of tone and feedback reduction. The overall output is lower than others and so input gain will have to be adjusted on an amp and/or mixing desk.
