Installing The Controller; Determining The Optimal Location; Selecting The Mounting Method - TerraTec AXON AIX 101 Manual

Installing the controller

Install the controller (interface) first – please ensure that the pickup is not damaged in the
process.

Determining the optimal location

The controller (interface) should normally be installed behind the bridge. It should be
within convenient reach, yet should not interfere with your playing or the controls of the
instrument. Please observe the following points when determining a suitable mounting
location:
The controller should not be in your way when picking the strings. When installing the
controller, ensure that it does not affect your playing style.
The controller should not block the volume or tone controls of the instrument, or im-
pede access to the bridge, especially the intonation screws that are adjusted from the
back of the bridge.
The mounting location must ensure that the length of the pickup cable and the con-
necting cable to the instrument are sufficient.
Neither the controller nor the plug of the connecting cable should extend beyond the
edge of the guitar body to reduce the risk of damage.
When choosing the mounting location, ensure that the instrument can be placed on a
stand with the controller attached.
Choose the mounting location to ensure that the instrument will not be subjected to
undue pressure while being transported in a bag or case with the AIX 101/103 at-
tached.

Selecting the mounting method

Mounting with screws and/or adhesive strips/pads
Permits the installation of the controller on a curved top in conjunction with adhesive
strips
Permits simple mounting and secure attachment.
Requires a hole to be drilled in the body.
Mounting with Velcro
Permits the controller to be mounted and removed with ease.
Mounting with bracket
Permits the mounting of the controller on a curved top in conjunction with adhesive
strips.
The bracket can also be attached to the strap button of the instrument. This requires a
certain amount of care to prevent damage to the strap button mounting screw, how-
ever.
