contact mics. These are made available in case
you want to change the place of the contact mic,
or change the mic to another drum. It is good to
change the tape after use because the used tape
will not stick so well again. Remove the old tape by
carefully rubbing with thumb the edge of the tape
at the “lead wire” side.
Slowly remove the rest of the tape in the same
direction.
INSTALLATION
WITH RIM MOUNT
1. Remove the batter drumhead (the drumhead
you beat on) and rim.
2. Check placement of contact mic and preamp.
The contact mic’s “lead wire” goes through the air
hole to the preamp. Be sure that the “lead wire”
and connector of the contact mic will reach where
the preamp is going to be placed.
3. Check placement of contact mic and clean the
area that the mic will be attached to.
4. The UKKO contact mic has tape on the back.
The contact mic is attached to the inside of the
drum on the shell or reinforcement rim parallel
to and approximately 6mm (1⁄4”) from the batter
drumhead.
If the reinforcement rim is less in size than the
height of the contact mic, then it should be mount-
ed just below reinforcement rim.
