MANDOLIN TWIN INTERNAL
Thank you for choosing the Mandolin Twin Internal!
We strongly recommend that this pickup system is professionally installed by a luthier or mandolin technician.
Special tools are not provided, but are needed to safely enlarge the endpin hole and for installation of the endpin
jack. This manual does not provide the information about all the necessary tools and/or how they should be used.
Please do not install this system if you do not feel confident with every aspect of installing it.
Soldering might be necessary if the cables need to be shortened, although in most cases the system should fit
with the provided cable length. This manual does not provide instructions on wire work/soldering.
INSTALLATION
1. The picture at right shows the desired locations of the two transducers
inside the mandolin. In some models the two braces will run differently
than shown here.
If a brace does not allow you to place the pickup next to the exact center
(the widest part) of the F hole, just move the pickup up or down a bit until
you find a spot that fits the transducer. However, move it a little as
possible from the position shown.
2. Drill the endpin hole. The diameter should be 12mm (or a 1/32” less than ½”), but ½” works okay.
3. Apply double stick tape to the golden side of the transducers, it is a very thin film:
