2. A loose endpin jack stored inside the instrument may damage the guitar
when travelling.
3. A pickup that has not been securely mounted in the soundhole (as per our
Permanent Installation Guide) may become dislodged and could damage
the instrument during transit.
Amplification
You can plug the Rare Earth™ into most musical instrument amplifiers, but
for the most natural sound reproduction, we strongly recommended a full
range system, such as a high-quality acoustic instrument amp, keyboard
amp, or PA system.
Features
Mounting Clamps
The pickup mounts quickly and securely with these padded clamps. The jaws
of the clamps are lined with natural cork, which will not interact with the gui-
tar’s finish. A #1 Phillips screwdriver works best to tighten the mounting
clamps. Be careful not to over tighten the clamps! Doing so may, in some
cases, perforate the finish under the clamps (see Installation Guide).
Endpin Jack
The Rare Earth™ runs on two little watch batteries that switch on when you
plug in the endpin jack. To conserve battery life, unplug the endpin jack when
not in use.
It is a good idea to plug the pickup in before turning on your amp to protect
your speakers (and your ears) from "turn-on-transient-thump".
You may choose to keep the endpin jack outside the instrument for temporary
use or permanently mount it in the endblock of the guitar (see Installation
Guide).
