Installing the controller
Install the controller (interface) first – please ensure that the pickup is not damaged in the
process.
Determining the optimal location
The controller (interface) should normally be installed behind the bridge. It should be with-
in convenient reach, yet should not interfere with your playing or the controls of the in-
strument. Please observe the following points when determining a suitable mounting loca-
tion:
The controller should not be in your way when picking the strings. When installing the
controller, ensure that it does not affect your playing style.
The controller should not block the volume or tone controls of the instrument, or im-
pede access to the bridge, especially the intonation screws that are adjusted from the
back of the bridge.
The mounting location must ensure that the length of the pickup cable and the con-
necting cable to the instrument are sufficient.
Neither the controller nor the plug of the connecting cable should extend beyond the
edge of the guitar body to reduce the risk of damage.
When choosing the mounting location, ensure that the instrument can be placed on a
stand with the controller attached.
Choose the mounting location to ensure that the instrument will not be subjected to
undue pressure while being transported in a bag or case with the PU 100 attached.
Selecting the mounting method
Choose the method best suited to your instrument and intended use.
Mounting with bracket

The bracket can be attached to the strap button of the instrument. This requires a cer-
tain amount of care to prevent damage to the strap button mounting screw, however.

Requires a hole to be drilled in the body.
