LR Baggs HiFi DNA Advanced Bridge Plate Pickup System
There is a big difference between simply making an acoustic guitar louder and faithfully amplifying the character of the instrument itself. The LR Baggs HiFi DNA Advanced Bridge Plate Pickup System was developed around that distinction.
Building on the innovative design of the original HiFi system, the HiFi DNA takes the concept even further with increased sensitivity and more advanced signal processing designed to deliver greater dynamic realism, warmth, responsiveness, and tactile immediacy. The goal is remarkably straightforward: capture more of what makes your acoustic guitar sound and respond like your acoustic guitar.
Available at Northeast Music Center, the HiFi DNA is an excellent option for players who want a highly responsive acoustic pickup system without relying on a traditional undersaddle transducer. Its lightweight sensors mount discreetly to the bridge plate, helping preserve the natural acoustic character of the instrument while providing the feedback resistance and stage-ready performance that have made the HiFi platform so compelling.
A More Natural Connection to Your Guitar
The HiFi DNA uses flexible, lightweight bridge-plate sensors designed to capture the energy and complexity of the instrument in an exceptionally direct way. Rather than focusing solely on string vibration, the system is engineered to reproduce more of the guitar's natural response, including the warmth, dynamics, and subtle changes in attack that give an acoustic instrument its individual personality.
For expressive players, that responsiveness matters. Play softly and the system is designed to retain the intimacy and detail of the performance. Dig in harder and it responds with the immediacy and dynamics needed to keep the amplified sound connected to what you're hearing and feeling from the guitar.
Advanced Split Processing
At the heart of the HiFi DNA is split all-discrete processing for the bass and treble pickups.
By processing the bass and treble sensors independently, LR Baggs can optimize how each side of the instrument is reproduced before bringing the complete signal together. The result is a system engineered for improved balance, clarity, warmth, and dynamic realism across the guitar's range.
It is an advanced approach designed around a simple objective: capture the true DNA of your acoustic tone.
Minimal Hardware. Maximum Musicality.
One of the strengths of the HiFi concept is how little it asks you to change about your guitar.
The lightweight sensors attach to the bridge plate using a simplified peel-and-stick installation method, eliminating the need for a conventional undersaddle pickup installation. LR Baggs also includes a dedicated mounting jig to help achieve optimal sensor placement.
Once installed, discreet soundhole-mounted Volume and Tone controls give the player convenient access to the essentials without requiring intrusive controls to be cut into the side of the guitar.
