INSTALLATION NOTES

One single pickup element usually transmits an entire instrument with good balance.

The Definity System comes with a stereo endpin jack (soldered mono) that allows for future upgrades. The endpin jack includes a self-adhesive clip that can be removed. It allows you to choose internal or external jack locations.

The pickup is only 6/1000 of an inch thin and measures 1 3/4” x 3/4” total. We call it a “compression pickup” because it is especially suited for “wedged” applications under a floating bridge. However, the pickup element is capable of transmitting sound like soundboard transducer as well. In fact, we found that the best tone is achieved if the pickup is mounted so it is partially “wedged” and partially open on the soundboard.

PREAMP OPTIONS

The Definity pickup reaches its true potential with a preamp. A basic solution is the Definity Preamp, which features a phase switch, adjustable mid and treble controls (via trimpots), and a 1/4” line out.

A more professional solution combines the Definity pickup with a Pure XLR Peamp. It features +/-20 db bass, mid, and treble controls, plus an adjustable input gain control. Its noiseless circuitry provides unsurpassed clarity and power and the adjustable input gain allows you to dial in the precise amplification factor needed for your instrument.

NOTE: If you would like this pickup installed on an instrument you are purchasing online from us, please choose the "Add Pickup Installation" option (or click here), add the installation product to your cart, and we will install it before shipping it out. It is important to note that if the instrument is returned within the 14-day return window, the cost of the pickup and installation cannot be refunded.
