K&K Sound PURE FLOATING BRIDGE Product Manual

P U R E F L O A T I N G B R I D G E
This system is designed especially for instruments with floating bridges. The pickup and jack (externally
mounted) can be installed without modifications to the bridge or instrument.
The Pure Floating Bridge Pickup works well in passive mode. However, if a preamp is desired we recommend the
K&K Pure Preamp or the Pure XLR Preamp.
INSTALLATION
Please install the two pickups as shown in the photo, one
under each bridge foot. Loosen the strings a bit, lift one
bridge foot and place one pickup (golden side to
soundboard) under it. Then repeat the same on the other
bridge foot. Make sure the bridge is not pinching a cable,
as the cables are slightly thicker than the pickups.
The cables can be hidden under the strings and the
tailpiece. The ¾" adjustable rubber sleeve on the cables
can be pulled tight towards the pickups to avoid
mechanical cable noise.
If your guitar has a height-adjustable bridge, simply
lower the action by 1.3mm (height of pickups). If you
have a fixed bridge, you can either cut the sting notches on top of the bridge a little deeper or you can file some
material off the bridge feet.
If you file material off the bridge feet, make sure that you keep the angle of the bridge-foot-surface exactly the
way it was. You may use a vice and clamp the bridge-foot upside down between the jaws, so that the exact
height of the pickup is exposed. Then simply remove the material with a file.
The Pure Floating Bridge Pickup is equipped with a multi-use endpin jack. With the external mount, the jack is
installed with the double-sided self-adhesive "dual-lock" fastener, which is factory-mounted to the jack (see
photo). This adhesive will not harm glossy lacquered finishes. The glue residues can be removed with WD40.
With un-lacquered finishes, we recommend applying some masking tape to the instrument first and then
mounting the dual-lock to the masking tape. If possible, use the surface of the tailpiece or tailpiece holder.
