Custom Wiring Diagrams

	Matrix and Rare Earth The subject of one of our Tech Tips: Did you know that you can combine the Acoustic Matrix active undersaddle pickup with the Rare Earth series of active magnetic soundhole pickups to create a new dimension in sound? This combination allows you to power both active systems from a single 9-volt battery and results in a T-R-S (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) output. The Acoustic Matrix signal on the tip of a stereo jack, and the Rare Earth signal on the ring will allow you to send both signals simultaneously to separate amps or channels in a mixer to create your own acoustic sound. This modification requires the new "Switchjack Equipped" version of either the Acoustic Matrix Natural I or Natural II and any Rare Earth model pickup
	Adding a Volume pot to a Rare Earth pickup If you’d like onboard control for the volume of your Rare Earth series pickup, check out this diagram.
	Adding a Rare Earth to a guitar with an onboard preamp/EQ system This will allow you to add a Rare Earth to the soundhole of any guitar with an onboard preamp. The original signal will be on the tip and the Rare Earth will be on the ring terminal of the stereo jack. A stereo Y cable is all you need to send the two signals to separate amps or channels in a mixer.
	Rare Earth dimensional drawing This is a commonly asked for diagram. You’ll find the Rare Earth fits into 99% of all acoustic guitar soundholes.
	Adding a Volume Pot to an Acoustic Matrix (Updated 10/1/07) Adding a volume pot to the Acoustic Matrix is a simple as 1-2-3. This diagram will show you exactly how to do it. If you’re looking for an additional tone pot, we recommend checking out our soon to be released V_T_B active volume, tone and bass circuit.
	Adding a Passive Volume Pot to a Powerbridge Even though this diagram is included in our Powerbridge installation manual, we are including it here for your convenience.
	Adding a Volume Pot to a Powerjack Same as the Matrix but this is the preamp that goes best with our Piezo Crystal pickups.
