• Basic Passive Setup
Stereo Outputs
The simplest way to get the Powerbridge™ Pickup up and running is to wire it and the
magnetic pickups to Tip/Ring outputs of the supplied stereo jack. A stereo "Y" cable
or a standard stereo cable can then carry the two signals. From there, all mixing and
Stereo
blending functions will be performed offboard the instrument.

to Stereo Input
For a passive setup, don't tie the Powerbridge™ and magnetic pickup wires together
to a guitar's mono output jack. This may seem like a good idea, but it won't work. If
you connect the piezo and magnetic outputs, you will experience a loss of tone and
a very bizarre and un-musical interaction between the Powerbridge™ and magnetic
pickups.
Magnetic and piezo pickups operate on different electrical platforms. Magnetics are
"inductors" and piezos are "capacitive" devices. To mix signals on the instrument
you'll need to electronically isolate or "buffer" the two signals with an active mixing
circuit like the Fishman Powerchip™.
