THE CONTROLS

The built-in preamplifier is automatically turned on when a plug is inserted into the output jack. When not using the instrument, or when playing it without amplification, be sure to remove the plug from the output jack so that the preamplifier power is turned off.

Always set the VOLUME control to “0” when plugging in or unplugging the connection cable.

The battery check indicator (BAT.) will light briefly when a plug is inserted or removed from the output jack. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Be sure to remove the battery if the instrument will not be used for an extended period of time in order to prevent possible damage due to battery leakage.

When the mic knob is set to its cen- ter position, the mic is off.

Rotate the knob to the right (Normal) to increase the mic mix level. At this time, if feedback or howling occurs, it is possible to reverse the phase by rotating the knob to the left.

The same knob provides control of both level and phase adjustment.

Caution

Rotating the HIGH and LOW knobs to the right increases the overall output level. Likewise, rotating the MIC. knob right or left also in- creases the overall output level. If the overall output level is increased in this manner, use the VOL. knob to adjust the volume level.

CONDENSER MIC ADJUSTMENT (System 43 only)

The condenser mic is attached inside the body (behind the preamplifier) with a flexible pipe that allows free adjustment of the mic's direction.

A variety of tone variations are achievable by changing the direction of the mic head.

When the guitar was shipped from the factory, the mic head is positioned inside the body slightly pointed towards the sound hole and about 10mm from the guitar's top. (You can see it from the sound hole.) This setting is good for picking up the sound of the strings being plucked. (See diagram 1)

When the mic head is slightly pointing toward the inside of the body this setting will pickup a bigger body sound. (See diagram 2)

*Try some different mic placements and select the one you prefer.
