For External Only
- Unwind the cable, select the direction for a left-handed or right-handed guitar on the pickup, and secure the cable in the appropriate place.
- Loosen the screws of the pickup slightly.
- Place the pickup into the resonator hole and tighten the screws.
- Connect the XLR connector to the microphone input of your combo, mixer, audio interface, etc.

Modern audio equipment usually provides it. - IMPORTANT – our recommendation:
If your audio interface, acoustic amplifier, or other device doesn’t provide phantom power — - You can use a phantom power adapter, widely available in music stores.
These affordable adapters are designed exactly for this purpose. Use a phantom power adapter and forget about unstable batteries forever. - Recommended phantom power box models:
