With the chassis removed from the mounting ring, you will notice
connections on the rear panel, next to the battery compartment. The
connection marked
(1) OUTPUT
is for the signal being sent to the
output jack. There are two
INPUT
jacks, labeled
(2) PIEZO
and
(3) AUX.
The PIEZO input should already be connected to the under-
saddle bridge pickup. The AUX input is included for use with an
additional sound hole pickup, or internal microphone. A magnetic sound
hole pickup, or a miniature dynamic microphone may be connected to
this INPUT jack. An internal condenser microphone will also work, but
the System 600T does NOT supply phantom power. A separate “in-line”
battery must be used to power a condenser microphone.
On the side of the chassis are two
trim pots, labeled
(4) LOW
and
(5) HIGH.
These trim pots are used
to adjust the gain of the BASS and
TREBLE sliders on the front panel.
These adjustments are used to “fine
tune” the System 600T to the sonic
characteristics of the particular guitar
being used.
(6) BATTERY
COMPARTMENT
The System 600T is powered by
a 9 Volt battery mounted in the
bottom of the control chassis.
Access the battery compartment by
removing the two front panel thumb
screws and lifting the chassis from the
mounting ring.
Refer to the front panel diagram on the next
page to familiarize yourself with the various
control functions of the Alvarez System 600T.

The Alvarez System 600T Preamp/Eq is designed to offer the finest
acoustic guitar tone reproduction available. The System 600T provides
a broad range of sonic control, mixing capability for different combina-
tions of piezo/magnetic/microphone transducers, and features on-board
digital chromatic tuner. We recommend that you take a few minutes to
read this manual in order to familiarize yourself with the many
advanced features and capabilities of the System 600T.
This guitar is equipped with a piezo pickup mounted under the bridge
saddle. This pickup is connected to the PIEZO input of the System
600T, and the guitar will perform perfectly with this pickup/preamp
combination. The System 600T is capable of mixing an additional
internal microphone or sound hole pickup with the piezo pickup for a
wider range of sonic possibilities. Some features of the System 600T
will only operate when an additional pickup/microphone is used.
