Mi-Si Simple Jack
OVERVIEW
The Mi-Si Simple Jack system features an active, battery-free preamp designed specically to work with the L.R. Baggs under­saddle acoustic guitar pickup. The preamp for this system uses Mi-Si’s custom piezo linearization scheme - allowing for the most truthful and accurate sound from the pickup. All you have to do is power up for 60 seconds using the Mi-Si Power Charger, providing you with up to 16 hours of performance time.
Please follow directions carefully and you should receive years of quality sound from this ne instrument and its electronics. For more details and other innovative products from Mi-Si please refer to our website - www.mi-si.com.
CHARGING AND PLUGGING IN
To charge the Simple Jack pickup, plug the Power Charger into a
100/120/220/240 V AC 50/60 Hz outlet. Then plug in the Power Charger 1/4” stereo plug into the preamp’s endpin jack for 60 seconds. Now your system is ready for 16 hours of performance time (actual playing time may vary depending on playing style). For best performance increase the charging time up to 120 seconds for the initial 2-3 charging cycles.
You can plug your instrument into ANY input of ANY system or amplier regardless of input impedance. In the same manner, you can use ANY type of shielded MONO cable - regardless of its capacitance. Your sound will not be altered. You can enjoy the benets of an active amplied system without worrying about batteries. Use only the Power Charger provided with this package
to power up this unit. Use of any other power supply or modication of the existing one may cause permanent damage to the system and will void the warranty.
USEFUL TIPS
Using the Power Charger to power up your pre­amp is truly remarkable. But what if you forgot or lost your Power Charger? Don’t worry! Although we don’t promote the use of batteries, in this case all you need to power up your system is any stereo cord and a common 9V battery.
Plug the stereo cord into your instrument. Hold the 9V battery so that the positive terminal is touching the Ring of the stereo plug and the negative terminal is touching the Ground. Hold it like this for 60 seconds and you are ready to play for 16 hours. The system will not be damaged by accidentally connecting the battery in the wrong direction.
