Is any special tool required for installation?
Installation only requires the supplied Velcro band and the 1/4″ audio jack; no additional tools or drilling are needed.
What type of cable should I use?
Use a standard 1/4″ instrument cable to connect the pickup to an amplifier, PA system, or recording interface.
