ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OPERATION

 

The M80 o

ff

ers you the option of either “active” or “passive” settings, essentially 

giving you two pickups in one 

(see

.

Active  setting

  -  In  this  setting,  the  M80  engages  a  high  quality,  all-discrete 

preamp  that  is  speci

fi

cally  tuned  to  optimize  the  M80’s  performance.  With 

optimal noise cancellation and a higher output level, the active M80 can plug 

directly into a P.A. or acoustic ampli

fi

er without an external preamp. If your battery 

dies  during  a  performance,  you  can  continue  using  the  M80  by  switching  to  the 

“passive” setting and making the proper external adjustments.

Passive setting

  -  In  this  setting,  the  M80  bypasses  the  preamp  for  a  battery-free 

performance.  This  setting  also  allows  you  to  use  the  pickup  with  an  external 
soundhole  cable  (sold  separately)  to  avoid  permanently  modifying  high-end 
or  vintage  guitars  and  also  makes  transferring  the  M80  from  one  guitar  to 
another quick and easy.
