WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Table 1: The Cortado Balanced Piezo Contact Mic Bill Of Materials
(BOM) is a complete parts list of everything that should be present
in your kit, followed by photos of each part. Print the BOM and
carefully go through the kit, identifying every part. Please read
about the proper handling of FETs (Q1,Q2,Q3) on page 11
before removing them from the static-protective bag. Note that
some of the components are difficult to tell apart. Compare them
carefully with the photos. Besides verifying that nothing is missing,
this will acquaint you with the parts and their names. If ANYTHING is
missing, first double-check; we double-checked before sealing the box at our lab! If it’s still missing,
EMAIL US right away at
. If we goofed and shorted your kit, we will
get replacement parts in the mail to you as soon as possible. If you lose or damage anything, we will
be glad to sell you replacements. The unusual or custom components can be ordered directly from us
(contact
. For more common parts, like resistors, caps, or screws,
you may just want to go to a local electronics or hardware store.

Empty the parts
of the kit into a bowl, NOT
onto the cluttered workbench, or
onto the living room carpet! This
will protect you from losing tiny
parts.
