The L.R. Baggs Core 1 Acoustic Reference Amplifier is a 200-watt, 2 channel acoustic guitar combo amp that blends a cutting edge loudspeaker, analog and digital circuit technology and industrial design. The Core 1 amp redefines the way acoustic guitar and vocals should be amplified.

At the heart of the Core 1 amplifier is L.R. Baggs' BMR Sound Radiation Technology, a patented loudspeaker that creates and radiates sound in a fundamentally different and better way than the norm. The brainchild of eminent speaker designer Dr. Graham Bank, it was specifically adapted for acoustic guitar in collaboration with L.R. Baggs engineers.

Exclusive to L.R. Baggs, this 192mm diameter flat 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 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.

More like a window than a speaker, the Core 1 amp's sound seamlessly fills every corner of the room and effortlessly envelops the listener with warm, inviting crystal clarity as it faithfully traces every nuance of your guitar. Best of all, the ultra wide dispersion solves one of the biggest problems of amplified acoustic guitars: it allows the musician, band and the audience to hear the same thing.

Building on the famed Para DI, the Radius One preamp forgoes any OP Amps and employs 100% discrete circuitry in an innovative configuration resulting in fidelity and performance that places it with the world's finest mic preamps. L.R. Baggs also avoided the generic digital effects chip common to most acoustic amps and created a specially modified spring reverb and driver circuit for some of the sweetest reverb you've ever heard.

The power amplifier is a European state-of-the-art 200-Watt digital hi-fi amplifier: warm, transparent, quiet and with plenty of power to trace the demanding dynamics of the acoustic guitar. A 4-band EQ with tunable low-mid and high-mid bands based on the L.R. Baggs Para DI EQ plus a Garrett Null notch filter to easily manage feedback means you've got all the tools you need to get great amplified sound from your acoustic guitar.

Wrap all this technology up in a beautiful and durable, lightweight, molded enclosure with natural wood sides and an innovative handle and you've got a true technological tour-de-force.
