PRODUCT MANUAL

DEFINITY SYSTEM

GENERAL PICKUP INFORMATION

The Definity pickup is a hybrid of a compression

pickup and a soundboard transducer. Its super-thin

and flexible design allows for a variety of

applications especially on instruments with floating

bridges.

The Definity System is paired with the Definity

Preamp, which is optimized for the Definity pickup

and a very important part of the system. The Definity

Preamp features a phase switch, which is particularly

important for this pickup. Please see p. 3 for more

information on the phase switch.

We found the Definity System performs best when

the pickup is installed so that part of it is under

pressure by the floating bridge and part of it is “free

floating” to pick up vibrations like a sound board

pickup.

It is not necessary for the Definity pickup to cover the

entire area of a bridge or bridge foot. As a general

rule, you want to aim for a placement that allows

approximately half of the pickup under a bridge

(compression) and the other half free on the

soundboard. There are some exceptions for

instruments with narrow bridges, like banjos. (More

detailed information on this on p. 4.) But it is a good

strategy for Archtop or Maccaferri/Selmer guitars

and many other floating bridge instruments.

This manual will describe installation techniques and

locations that we have tested to deliver the best

results for a variety of popular floating bridge

instruments.

GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Mark the position of the bridge on the

soundboard with tape. Make sure the tape

will not interfere with the position of the

Definity pickup. Then loosen the strings and

move the bridge out of the way to allow

mounting the pickup.

2. Install the Definity pickup so that the bridge

stands on its front portion and the back half

(where the cable exits) sticks on the

soundboard, similar to how it is shown on

one of the photos below.

3. Remove the red release foil on the bottom of

the pickup and stick the transducer in place.

4. Move the bridge back into position and

secure the gray cable of the pickup with tape

so it does not cause noise.

5. The jack can be mounted at a convenient spot

near the endpin of the instrument.

6. Coil up extra cable and secure it, e.g. with

clear tape.

OUTPUT JACK

The Definity pickup comes with a Switchcraft stereo

endpin jack wired in mono. It has a self-adhesive

removable clip attached to it. This jack also allows

for internal mount when the clip is removed. If go

this route, it may require you to temporarily unsolder

the pickup during installation. Please consult a

skilled technician if you choose this option.

Too remove the clip please use a slot screwdriver to

open the snap tab (see photo). Then remove the

black electrical tape that is wound around the jack.

This tape only builds up the diameter of the jack to

match the clip.

INTERNAL JACK INSTALLATION

1. For internal mount only, skip this section if

you are using the clip.

2. Drill or widen the endpin hole to 1/2" using

protective tape to cover the area around the

hole. This helps to prevent chips and

scratches.

3. Unscrew the endpin jack's strap mount knob.

4. Take off the nut and washer.

5. Find out the thickness of your end block and

set the nut on the cap accordingly (see

picture below). Once in place, screw the cap

in as far as it goes.

6. Insert the jack from the inside into the endpin

hole. Tip: a chopstick or something similar

helps to get a hold of the jack and pull it

through the hole.

7. Attach outside washer and nut and tighten.

Use a small Allen wrench or similar in the

small front holes of the jack to hold on while

tightening the nut. Attach the end knob and

tighten by hand.

Important: Make sure that the strap knob screws in

ALL THE WAY over the outer threaded part of the

jack, so that a tiny portion of the thread is exposed

when the strap-knob is tightened. If you don’t do this,

you might experience insufficient signal transmission

and sound cutting in and out.

THE DEFINITY PREAMP

Open the lid of the box (it just pulls off – it snaps back

on) to get access to the battery compartment and to

the adjustment options inside the preamp.

Install a 9-volt battery in the battery compartment.

There are midrange and treble trim-potentiometers

(trim-pots) that can be adjusted with a small

screwdriver. When the little white arrow in the center

of the trimmer is in the 12 o’ clock position, the

setting is flat with no cut or boost. Turning the pots

counterclockwise cuts frequencies, and turning

clockwise boosts frequencies. Mids are centered at

1250Hz (X-wide-band Q) and treble are at 8000Hz

(high shelf).

On the battery side of the circuit board is a phase

(toggle) switch with a small white tab. It has a big

effect on feedback control and on overall tone. There

is a detailed description of the effect on the phase

setting below. Move the white tab left or right (2

positions) and listen. There will be one setting that

sounds better with less feedback.
