At the heart of the pickup is a multi-layer sandwich of co-polymer strips. These
strips sense motion across the entire length of the saddle for unparalleled perfor-
mance. Compared ceramic pickups with individual elements, the Acoustic Matrix'
"unitary" co-polymer design provides a more natural and balanced response, with
sensitivity to both the strings and the soundboard. The transducer is fully enclosed
in a shielded foil wrap for dead quiet performance and total EMI noise rejection.
THE MICROPHONE
This quality electret-condenser microphone will provide very high level sound repro-
duction before feedback when used in conjunction with the unit's Phase, Notch and
Contour EQ (see page x). Conveniently shock-mounted to the underside of the pre-
amp chassis, the microphone is strategically isolated inside the instrument. For
stage use, the Microphone's interior location affords you unprecedented freedom of
movement as well as minimal bleed through from other instruments.
QUICK START
We recommend that you preset the system EQ to locate and eliminate microphone
feedback before you mix in the under-saddle pickup.
1. Set all controls as follows:
•
Notch and Volume fully counter-clockwise
•
All EQ sliders at center position
•
Blend slider at lowest position (B = microphone)
2. Slowly increase the volume and play the notes from the open low E, up to the
fourth fret G sharp until the instrument starts to rumble or howl with feedback on
one or more of these notes. Adjust the Notch control until this feedback is elimi-
nated (usually between one and two o'clock on the dial).
