Applying
The
Pickup |
Instead of gluing the
pickup, wedge it under the bridge’s center, as shown in
the diagram. If there’s too much space for the pickup to
fit securely, you can wedge a piece of guitar pick between the
HOT SoundSpot’s plastic side and the mandolin’s bridge.
If the bridge already sits flush against the top with no space
separating the bridge and top, then file an area on the bridge’s
bottom to accommodate the pickup. Be careful not to file too
much off of the bridge, and check your work often. Tape the
cord to the instrument to keep it from rattling. |
| Jack |
The 1/4" output jack is taped with a clip holder to
either the lower bout near the strap pin, or elsewhere (if
your case is unable to close with the jack near the strap
pin, find another unobtrusive location). You can also use
a self-adhesive dual-lock hook-and-loop strip.

| Usage Tips |
Guitar and keyboard amps
work very well with this pickup. It’s also great for onstage
applications with a P.A. system because of its immunity to most
feedback. For P.A. and recording applications, a high-quality direct box such as as the D-TAR Solstice or Equinox is suggested. |
