Traditional soundhole pickups are notoriously magnetic, amplifying the sound of the strings while losing the character of your guitar’s body. The patented M1 changed the rules. While we were experimenting in R&D, we discovered that carefully suspending the lower coil allowed it to act as a body sensor. This additional resonance from the guitar top blended seamlessly with the magnetic sensor for a sound all its own. 

Unlocking a new dimension of body sensitivity bypassed the limits of traditional magnetic pickups. This created a breakthrough sound that caught the attention of elite industry players and soon made its way onto the stages of legends like David Gilmour and Tom Petty.

The M1 Passive: Professional Purity

If you prefer a passive signal path, the M1 Passive delivers this body-sensitive technology in its purest form. It provides professional amplification that’s ready for the stage or studio, no batteries required.

02.

Floating Coil Performer

Most humbucking coils just cancel hum. Ours is a finely tuned part of your performance. By allowing the secondary coil to float on a carefully tuned suspension, the M1 Passive reacts directly to your soundboard’s movements, capturing higher-frequency body resonance for a performance that cuts through the noise without the feedback.

03.

Born to Be Loud

The M1 is robust, reliable, and wholly unapologetic. Engineered for loud live bands, stadium arenas, and players who want to push their sound to new heights, it delivers a powerful acoustic tone that cuts through a heavy band mix while still sounding beautifully warm and authentic.
