Could this be what we've been waiting for? An internal guitar microphone that actually sounds so good you would feel comfortable recording with it:

Re: The new LYRIC internal acoustic guitar microphone
I checked out the demo and clearly the frequency/time domain response is superior to just about everything else available, (barring expensive built-in multipoint hybrid systems like the Taylor Expression system) but the dynamics are a bit lacking, to my ear. (you might never miss them in a mix of a live band, however) You can do nearly as well with a cheap Radioshack omni lavalier mic placed just inside where the neck meets the soundhole, but there's certainly greater opportunity for feedback. That was what I used, prior to the Baggs Double Barrel I use now for my onstage stage acoustic antics. I think extreme dynamics are maybe more useful in a solo setting anyway, so this system will solve the problem for a lot of ensemble players, at least.

Re: The new LYRIC internal acoustic guitar microphone
I am thinking that this is pretty hip. especially for live performance.
this + an external microphone (for the room sound + reflections) would give a nice combo of a very direct mic signal that could mixed for a recording. definitely better than a DI.
Nice Find!!

Re: The new LYRIC internal acoustic guitar microphone
Thanks, Mojo! That's an interesting observation. My first reaction would be that dynamics in the studio would be something to flatten out a little anyway. Limiting the peaks could be a good thing, but raising the floor and compressing might not be as universally useful.mojobone wrote:.... but the dynamics are a bit lacking, to my ear.....
It will be great to discover how the product catches, evolves and gets copied.
Cheers,
Allen
