What it is
Mi-Si's Magpie Air is a hybrid approach to acoustic guitar amplification, combining the benefits of an award-winning single-coil active magnetic pickup with a high-performance MEMS microphone in an extremely light and compact system.
The Magpie Air is an active hybrid sound hole pickup and high-performance MEMS microphone with two separate Volume controls, a rechargeable preamp, and Mi-Si power charger. No batteries are needed. The magnetic pickup is a "planar" single-coil design and the MEMS microphone is designed to minimize hum while providing a broad frequency response.
The black housing easily clamps in the sound hole. A mini-jack on the pickup allows you to use a patch cord externally or connect internally to a 1/4" strap-button jack harness, which is included.
Powering up the Magpie AIR for 60 seconds provides up to 7 hours of performance time.

Designed for acoustic guitars with a sound hole opening of 3" or larger.
