From your first strum you'll know that the M1 is pure magic. What
makes it so different? The secret is the breakthrough patent-pending
TriAxial Dynamic Technology™ developed by Gary Garrett
and Lloyd Baggs. This new technology allows the pickup to respond
to the guitar's string and body vibrations.
The M1 redefines what is possible from a soundhole pickup and
eliminates the trade-off between ease and performance. It's never
been easier to get superior live sound!

The M1 is a humbucking pickup -- with a twist. In a common stacked
humbucker, the second, lower coil cancels hum, but doesn't contribute
anything positive to the sound. In fact, it can muddy the sound
of the main coil. We unlock the second coil. This allows it to
make a positive sonic contribution while maintaining the pure
open sound of a single coil -- but without the hum.

The secondary coil remains stationary
while the primary coil vibrates
|
In the M1, the hum-canceling coil is suspended under the main
coil by a tuned support that allows it to move in three dimensions.
The primary coil moves with the guitar top and creates a body
signal in the suspended secondary coil. This brings the M1 to
life, with string and body sound all in one. It's like having
a dual pickup system in your soundhole.
And it's all passive!
We've carefully tuned the support to control motion in all three
dimensions. This allows us to selectively add the presence and
realism from the body signal while suppressing runaway feedback.
