Mounting with suction cups
Permits easy mounting, removal and transportation of the unit.
This is an elegant alternative for attaching the controller to guitars or basses with flat
tops and a smooth, glossy finish.
Choose the method best suited to your instrument and intended use.
Mounting with screws and/or adhesive strips/pads
Marking and drilling the screw hole for the controller
Hold the controller in the planned position and mark the center of the hole to be drilled (in
front of the socket for the multi-pin cable) in the instrument body with a sharp pencil or
other suitable tool. Set the controller aside and using the greatest care, drill a 2 mm dia.
and 10 mm deep hole at the marked point.
Note:
If your guitar or bass is an acoustic or semiacoustic instrument with a top unsuitable
for drilling, or if you break out in a sweat already at the thought of mistreating your in-
strument in such a manner, then you can also install the controller with double-sided
adhesive strips or Velcro. Screw mounting is the most secure, however, and we rec-
ommend it wherever possible.
Mounting with Velcro is advisable whenever the AIX 101/103 is going to be removed
and replaced frequently. The adhesive strips must NOT be used when mounting the
device with Velcro!
Remove the protective backing from one side of the adhesive strip/pad and apply it to the
underside of the controller as shown (3 strips).
Clean the mounting surface of the guitar thoroughly to ensure that the adhesion is not
affected by dust, dirt or grease. Remove the remaining protective backing from the adhe-
sive strip/pads on the controller and place it on the guitar body in such a way that the
screw hole in the guitar (if drilled) is aligned with the hole in the controller. Press the con-
troller firmly – but carefully – into place to ensure proper adhesion. Finally, insert the self-
tapping button-head screw (3x6 mm) through the hole in the controller and into the hole
