3. Replacing the strings and adjusting the pickup height
Replace the strings of the instrument and adjust the height of the pickup by turning the
mounting screws. The distance between the upper edge of the pickup and the undersides
of the strings should be around 1 mm when pressing the string to the highest fret. Use the
included gauge to check the spacing.
Getting ready to play
Once the controller and pickup are installed, connect the PU 100 to your AXON Guitar-to-
MIDI Converter. The 13-pin AXON AXK 100 cable, which is available separately, is re-
quired for this.
1. Connecting the instrument cable
Insert one jack of the instrument cable included with the PU 100 into the output socket of
the guitar and the other jack into the input socket of the PU 100.
Note:
connect the instrument cable even if you will not be using the conventional pickup
sound. This connection is important for grounding the instrument to prevent noise and
electric shock.
2. Connecting the PU 100 to the AXON
Ensure that the AXON is switched off, then connect one end of the 13-pin AXON AXK 100
cable to the appropriate socket of the PU 100 and the other to the INPUT socket of the
AXON.
Note:
To prevent the 13-pin cable from coming unplugged or being damaged, we recom-
mend running it between the strap and the body of the instrument.
To unplug the 13-pin cable from the AXON or the AIX 101/103, press the unlock but-
ton on the plug body.
3. Switching on the AXON
One LED of the PU 100 will light up when the AXON is switched on. The controller is now
receiving power from the AXON.
4. Playing
The system is ready to play when the AXON, the synthesizer and other devices are prop-
erly connected and set up as described in their respective manuals.
