The Lyric mic is a fairly nifty little device. However, in my mind, one of it's key features is also a major shortcoming. Keeping a mic inside your guitar and making it effective at eliminating feedback requires them to compress and filter much of the low end of the guitar (below 200 Hz). If you are playing in a band, or at church, that might not matter. If you are playing music where a strong bass response is important, that will have to be done via EQ in the amplification system. Secondarily, and this is a matter of taste, I think the mids are too heavy. Many of us have wondered if Baggs will release a version with multiple (user selectable) EQ curves. For those of use who don't encounter much feedback, we'd have the ability to get more from the mic. If they did that, I would probably own 3 of them. It's important to note that the Anthem was designed to provide the low frequencies via the UST.
