Installing Your Amulet M System
Pick a clear workbench-type place to work on your guitar to install the
transducers and system. Make sure the work surface is clean, well-lit
and preferably padded to help avoid scratching or damaging the finish of
your instrument while working on it.
Please see the
Acoustic Lens installation Guide online at

for details on pickup placement.
The Acoustic Lens pickup leads are long enough to allow them to
connect to the preamp outside of the instrument while the guitar is on the
bench during the initial setup of the system. This can really come in
handy, allowing you to easily try different placements of the pickups to
get the proper string balance and tone while plugging and unplugging the
pickups from the preamp. This can often be more difficult to do if the
preamp is already installed inside the guitar. This also makes for an easy
final adjustment of the TRIM control once you have the pickups properly
positioned, and the guitar strung up and tuned. Once the preamp is
installed, you can still reach the TRIM adjustment with a long
screwdriver, but you usually have to loosen at least the middle strings to
get soundhole access, and it’s more difficult (but not impossible) to find
the trimmer location hole with the preamp inside the instrument.
Once you’ve positioned the Lenses for your listening evaluation, you can
feed the pickup leads through the endpin hole in the bottom of the guitar.
An easy way to do this is to tape the pickup connector to an old guitar
string that's been fed through the endpin hole, then pull it back through,
taking care not to scratch your instrument.
Once you’ve got the pickups installed where you want them on your
instrument, and the balance adjusted with the TRIM control, you can
finish installing the Amulet M preamp inside your instrument.
