INTRODUCTION MAGNETICO AG6 is a compact, lightweight pickup for acoustic guitar, designed to fit inside the instrument’s soundhole. It has a master volume control and a gain control for a separate external input (EXT-IN), which can accommodate a second source such as the DYN AG6 electrodynamic contact microphone, or the compact S MIC M condenser mic.

1. Position the MAGNETICO AG6 inside the soundhole and push it as close to the end of the fingerboard as possible. See picture above for reference. Make sure that the pickup is perpendicular to the strings.

Wide dynamic range and fast transient response are just some of the advantages of this unique SCHERTLER transducer. The ideal accessory for percussion style. Plug the DYN AG6 into the EXT-IN 1/8” jack socket and position it as suggested inside your guitar.
6: WHEELS Clamping wheels for installation NOTE: the MAGNETICO AG6 sound is always present. Using the EXT potentiometer, you can only add the sound from the EXT-IN (DYN AG6 or S MIC M) input to that of the MAGNETICO and balance the proportion of the two signals.

S MIC M is a compact condenser microphone that has been specially developed for use with the MAGNETICO AG6 pickup. Designed to add an extra dimension to the MAGNETICO sound, S MIC M can be directly connected to the EXT-IN input.

(In any case, try to push it towards the neck side as much as possible.) Can I use the MAGNETICO AG6 on a 7-string Unfortunately no. The core technology of the / 8-string guitar?
Page 11
Can I use the MAGNETICO AG6 on a 12-string guitar? In this case it is easier. Even if the transduction of the MAGNETICO AG6 alone wouldn’t be optimal, this can be compensated for by using the DYN AG6 or the S MIC M to get a full, natural amplification of the 12-string sound.
