3.1.2 Connecting to Unbalanced Inputs

You may connect any AKG phantom power supply (2) to an unbal-

anced input, too.

2) Connect the inside wire of the cable to pin 2 on the XLR

connector (4) and the tip contact of the jack plug (5).

Unbalanced cables may pick up interference from stray magnetic

elds near power or lighting cables, electric motors, etc. like an

antenna. This may introduce hum or similar noise if you use a cable

that is longer than 16 feet (5 m).

Disconnecting the cable: To disconnect the cable, press the

unlocking button on the mini XLR connector (1) and pull the

connector (1) out of the socket.

To avoid damaging the cable, never try to pull out the cable itself!

2) Connect the B 23 L (2) to the desired input.

4 Use

4.1 Introduction

Since a soundboard vibrates differently in different places, you

can get different sounds by carefully selecting the spot where you

mount the pickup.

Section 4.3 describes proven techniques that you may want to use

as starting points for your own experiments.

4.2 Attaching the Pickup to the Instrument

If you are going to attach the pickup to a lacquered surface, check

the condition of the lacquer coat rst.

If the lacquer coat is porous or cracked, the adhesive compound

will lose some of its tack and may damage the lacquer coat further

when you remove the pickup.
