Operating elements

1. [Volume] Control for overall level

2. Batteries

3. [Mic] Control for microphone signal

Installation

1. Clean the surface of the instrument in the place where you wish to attach the pick-up.

2. Clamp the pick-up into the sound hole of the instrument. If necessary, use the reusable

adhesive supplied to ensure a rm seat.

3. Connect coupling & of pick-up cable % to a suitable amp via a shielded instrument cable

and switch on the amp.

4. You can attach the leather tab ' holding the coupling to the strap pin of your instrument

via its hole.

Operation

1. The device uses two separate pick-up systems, one magnetic and one supported by mi-

crophone. The microphone also transmits the impact or strumming noises as well as the

sound characteristics of the instrument body, which generates a more authentic sound

stage.

Note: If the device is used on instruments with nylon strings, only the signal recorded by

the microphone arrives at the output, because magnetic pick-ups only work on instru-

ments with metal strings.

2. Use [Volume] ö to set the required overall volume. Use [Mic] $ to control the share of the

overall signal recorded by the microphone.

3. If you turn up [Volume] ö and [Mic] $ to full, this may result in feedback. In this case you

should reduce the microphone volume using [Mic] $.

4. Disconnect the instrument cable from coupling & of the device when not in use. This

prevents the batteries # from being drained unnecessarily.

5. If the level of the output signal starts to drop over time, the batteries are empty and must

be replaced. Remember the polarity of the inserted batteries and remove them from the

battery holder. Insert two fresh CR2032 batteries with the same polarity.
