ACTIVE MAGNETIC SOUNDHOLE PICKUP Preamp
The preamp is housed within the pickup. A low noise circuit design preserves the pickup�s performance in any audio environment. The preamp allows you to plug the Rare Earth� into a full range instrument amplifier, an unbalanced input of a PA system, a recording console or direct box, without the signal loss or degradation typically found with passive soundhole pickups. You may run cables up to 80' (25m) in length without any audible loss of fidelity.

Pickup Flavors
SINGLE COIL This model is for those who prefer the brightness and character associated with a single coil pickup. Note that this version, like all single coil pickups, is susceptible to 50-60 HZ hum. To minimize noise, keep the Rare Earth� Single Coil away from fluorescent lights, dimmer packs, computer monitors and transformers.

HUMBUCKING A "stacked coil" style, for musicians who demand quieter reproduction than a single coil pickup can offer. A brilliance switch, located on the side of the pickup, is easily accessible through the soundhole. In the "up" position, this switch provides a subtle, rising treble boost, from 2 kHz to 20 kHz. This position is especially effective for adding a bit of extra sparkle to finger style playing. In the "down" position, the switch provides a flat response, which produces a mellower sound, well suited for strumming and flatpicking.
