Installation of this product is a simple procedure, but we recommend this job only if you are an experienced
repair technician.
The Switchjack is an easy to install TRS stereo jack with an additional "4th pin" terminal for battery switching
(figure ). It is manufactured exclusively for Fishman by Switchcraft Inc.
The switch terminal on the Switchjack is typically connected to the negative battery wire of an active pickup
system. When you insert a plug, the negative battery wire connects to ground via the sleeve, and the system
switches on.
