| click on any image to enlarge | The CORE 1 Acoustic Reference Amplifier, a product of three years’ intensive development, blends cutting edge loudspeaker design, analog and digital circuit technology and industrial design to redefine the way that acoustic guitar and vocals should be amplified. No. 186 of a Limited Edition of 208, signed by Lloyd Baggs in stock now. A review will follow, but for now this is what LR Baggs have to say about their amazing new design: Features include: SPEAKER: BMR sound radiation technology will redefine the way acoustic guitar should be amplified. Unlike conventional multi-driver loudspeakers, the new BMR design combines the best features of pistonic behavior, for low frequency control, with the best features of bending wave sound creation for wide high frequency dispersion. This behavior closely mimics the way a guitar top generates sound. This organic connection between the guitar and the BMR speaker makes it ideal for bringing the voice of the acoustic guitar to life. Exclusive to LR Baggs, this fully custom flat 8” honeycomb-diaphragm speaker employs a single 2” voice coil to generate a 140 degree wide full range conical sound field with a clean SPL of 108 dB. As all frequencies are generated by the one flat diaphragm, there are no crossovers or time distortions to smear and muddy the sound. Harmonics align naturally with fundamentals, so clarity and detail are breathtaking but without the normal harshness or annoying directionality of a multi-driver system.
