User manual FISHMAN RESOPHONIC ACTIVE PICKUP INSTALLATION GUIDE

[. . . ] Tighten the screw until the head just touches the spider and then tighten one full turn more. The spider/cone is now preloaded for optimum bass response without buzzes or rattles. If the end of the screw is long enough to accept the pickup and locknut, go on to the next step. If it is not long enough you will need to replace it with a longer screw and go back to step 1. [. . . ] Remove the original screw from the biscuit and swap it with the longer wood screw that is supplied with the kit. Notice that the heat-shrink tubing on the end of the pickup is bent to one side. Position the pickup so the bend in the heat-shrink tubing faces away from the cone. Place the shoulder washer into the pickup and the screw into the shoulder washer. Fasten the pickup assembly to the cone / biscuit. Tighten the screw until snug and then another 1/8 turn tighter.

Drill a . 094" (2. 4mm) hole in the cupped side of the cone, about 3/8" (9. 5mm) below the rim. Thread the pickup wire through the hole you drilled earlier. 3. Examine the bottom surface of the biscuit with a straightedge. Clean off any dust or debris from the bottom of the biscuit and apply a thin bead of woodworking glue around the edge. 8. Fasten the biscuit/pickup assembly to the cone. Tighten this screw just enough to prevent the biscuit assembly from freely rotating on top of the cone. Do not over tighten the screw or you may short out the pickup! 5. Line up the ends of the saddle with the notches in the brass disc, on the side of the disc opposite the pickup element. Affix the biscuit to the disc and wipe off any excess glue. Double-check the alignment between the notches in the disc and the ends of the saddle. Remove the barrel from the jack and thread the pickup wire through it. 2 Wiring Options Passive pickup Solder the center wire to the Tip terminal and the shield wire to the Sleeve terminal. Fasten the shielding cap to the jack. Pickup Signal to Tip Wooden body instrument For most wooden instruments, locate the jack at the endblock, centered below the tailpiece. Drill a 3/16" (4. 8mm) hole and enlarge it to 15/32" (12mm) with a 15 /32" tapered reamer. [. . . ] Tuck the battery into the bag and re-attach to the Velcro patch. The adhesive under the Velcro patch requires 24 hours to achieve a full bond, so take care to not stress the adhesive if you remove the battery bag after the initial installation. + - G IN R REV . 2. 3 Pickup Signal to "IN" Jack Installation Where to locate jack Metal body instrument For a metal instrument with a stick that runs the length of the body into the tailblock, we recommend that you place the jack on the treble side lower bout.
