Betjeningsvejledning

The Ellipse Matrix Blend system features intuitive controls located within the soundhole for easy access and adjustment.

• Lydstyrkekontrol: Adjusts the overall output level of the system. Rotate the knob to increase or decrease the volume.
• Blandingskontrol: Mixes the signal between the under-saddle pickup and the internal condenser microphone.
  • Rotate towards 'Pickup' for a more direct, percussive sound, ideal for cutting through a mix.
  • Rotate towards 'Mic' for a more ambient, natural acoustic tone, capturing the guitar's body resonance.
• Voicing Switch: This switch allows you to select between two distinct tonal voicings to match your guitar's body size and desired sound.
  • Flat Setting: Suitable for large-bodied guitars such as dreadnoughts and jumbos, providing a balanced frequency response.
  • Bass-Boosted Setting: Designed for smaller-bodied guitars like OMs, 00s, or parlors, adding warmth and fullness to the low end.
• Scoop Tone Control: Located near the volume control, this feature allows for fine-tuning of the mid-range frequencies. Adjusting this control can help shape the tone to reduce harshness or enhance clarity.
• Faseomskifter: This switch helps to reduce feedback, particularly in live performance settings. If feedback occurs, try flipping the phase switch to see if it resolves the issue.

Vedligeholdelse og udskiftning af batteri

1. Loosen the guitar strings to access the inside of the soundhole.
2. Locate the 9V battery holder, typically secured with Velcro or a clip inside the guitar body.
3. Carefully remove the old 9V battery and replace it with a new one, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Secure the battery holder and retune your guitar.
