Detail 01
Floating secondary coil
It functions as both a humbucking coil and a three-dimensional body sensor.

Independent shopping perspective
LR Baggs’ M80 is a magnetic soundhole pickup that blends string signal with a body-derived signal from its built-in 3D sensor. Its floating secondary coil has two jobs: humbucking operation and sensing the instrument’s vibration across its frequency range. In practice, the design is intended to bring body movement into the pickup output alongside the strings, with the coil’s suspended axes contributing to the resulting signal.
