13. Set tone controls (mini switches - see page

mixer, or other audio equipment, that can supply 15
to 48 volts phantom power to the preamp.
WITH PREAMP AT AIR HOLE OR
DRILLED HOLE
Note! The following instructions are basically for
air hole installation. A drilled-hole installation is the
same, except the user drills a hole at the shell (drill
hole size 8 mm / 5/16"). The preamp is attached to
the drilled hole the same way as instructed for air
hole mounting.
Careful consideration should be made of drilling a
hole in the shell and the placement of the pickup
and preamp.
If you are in doubt about drilling a hole in the shell
of the drum, we recommend a consultation with a
professional drum maker or repair tech.
1. Remove the batter drumhead (the drumhead
you beat on) and rim.
2. Check placement of contact mic and clean the
area that the mic will be attached to.
3. The UKKO contact mic has tape on the back. The
contact mic is attached to the inside of the drum on
the shell or reinforcement rim parallel to and ap-
proximately 6mm (1⁄4”) from the batter drumhead.
If the reinforcement rim is less size than the height
of the contact mic, then it should be mounted just
below reinforcement rim.
