In this case it is easier. Even if the transduction 

of  the  MAGNETICO  AG6  alone  wouldn’t  be 

optimal, this can be compensated for by using 

the DYN AG6 or the S MIC M to get a full, 

natural amplification of the 12-string sound.

After many years and thousands of units sold, 

we can definitively state that there is no actual 

problem on the MAGNETICO AG6 that could 

cause a quick drain of the battery. However, one 

of the following instances might be contributing 

to this:

- You already had a pickup installed on your 

guitar and you’re using the old endpin cable. The 

endpin cable provided with the MAGNETICO 

AG6 (blue cap) works as an ON/OFF switch 

when you plug/unplug the instrument cable to 

the guitar. A different endpin cable might keep 

the pickup “switched on”, thus draining the 

battery in a few hours. Remove the old endpin 

cable and install the provided MAGNETICO 

AG6 one.

- In order to turn off the pickup, the instrument 

cable must be unplugged from the guitar, not 

just from the amp!

If used correctly, the MAGNETICO AG6 battery 

can provide around 120 hours of use.

Can I use the MAGNETICO AG6 on a 12-string 

guitar?

The battery dies very quickly, is my MAGNETICO 

AG6 broken?
