INSTALLATION 1. Measure the opening of the wing slot on the bridge with a vernier caliper. The opening should be between . 060-. 090" (1. 5-2. 3mm) for proper fit. If the wing slot measures less than . 060" (1. 5 mm), employ a qualified repairman to enlarge the wing slot. FIG. 1 FINE TUNING Once the V-100 is properly mounted, plug the instrument into an amplifier and play at a low volume. Carefully shift the position of the pickup and listen for the best location. NOTE: If installation is to be permanent, a small drop of adhesive on the side (lower face) of the transducer can be used. If the wing slot measures more than . 090 inch (2. 3 mm) as is the case in violas, a small wooden shim may be required. If so, use an adhesive to bond the shim to the "leg" face. PLUGGING IN Due to the nature of passive pickups, the type of cable you use and the input you plug into will affect the quality of your sound. Instrument Cable Cable lengths over 10 feet (before preamp) will cause audible high frequency loss.
