Plug in the Mic
Insure the 3.5mm mini jack is
clean, wipe with a dry, lint free,
cotton cloth. Lay the Mic in the
guitar and plug the mini jack firmly
into the Access Jack of the iP-2.
The application of a little Deoxit
D5 to the stem of the plug prior to
plugging in will help maintain a
clean connection for years to come.
Avoid getting Deoxit

If the capsule is too far forward, it may be hit by a guitar pick or finger nail.
About Power
Power to the Mic is switched 'on' only when the iP-2 is plugged in.
The Internal Mic cannot be operated from phantom power.

Press the saddle down firmly on to the pickup and replace the strings starting with the 'D' string.
While tensioning the 'D' string, press the saddle back (away from the sound hole) and down to prevent the saddle from binding in the
saddle slot and loosing contact with the pickup. Bring the string to pitch.
Next, replace the 'G' String then the rest of the strings. Plug in and check the string balance and sound quality of the installation.
There really isn't a magical mic position that will suit every guitar or satisfy every musician's personal
preference. However, there are some basics that can help expedite the search for the 'sweet spot'.
If the capsule is too far back into
the guitar the sound is indistinct
and feedback is more likely.

The microphone position indicated below has
provided excellent results in a variety of guitars.
The 'sweet spot' will vary from guitar to guitar.

Clip the Mic to a back brace and
adjust the gooseneck so that the Mic
sits in the desired 'sweet spot'.

Excess cable is held in place on the back of the guitar with Velcro®. Cables
should be loosely coiled. The Velcro® ensures the cable will not be pinched.
AVOID SHARP BENDS, KINKS or TWISTS IN THE CABLES.
One of the purposes of the guitar body is to acoustically amplify the lower
notes. The higher pitches and harmonics come straight from the top of the
guitar. By positioning the mic capsule deeper into the body a more muffled,
indistinct sound is produced that is more prone to low frequency feedback.
By positioning the capsule in the sound hole, facing and within an inch of the
strings, some of the highs coming from the top and from the strings can be
'heard' by the mic. Also, low frequency feedback is reduced.
Listening through headphones can help when experimenting with mic
positioning. Check any good sounding mic position for feedback. As a last
resort the mic signal can be left out of the monitor speakers and fed to the
main PA speakers only.
Feedback is a potential problem with any microphone. Speaker placement,
monitor speaker placement in particular, and room acoustics are just a few of
the factors that contribute to feedback. Experience and some careful
experimentation are required to determine optimal conditions for each
venue. Check our web site for more information on this and other technical
issues facing acoustic musicians using amplification or recording equipment.
