Hmm.. do you mean this manual?
https://www.schertler.com/public/dow...man-en-ag6.pdf It's better than the one that was available when I bought mine which had even less information but not exactly detailed and complete. Shows all the Schertler cable assemblies as being "stereo". Implies you can split out the mic. Also, would be helpful to show + and - on CR2032 install (as well as labels on the pickup). It will go in either way and if you get it wrong, it's a pain to re-insert.

As for checking the battery.. wait.. they take batteries? (just kidding) <Note: With additional testing, things didn't work out quite as planned.. please see update at end of thread>

So here’s how it works The cable has three poles TIP this is the signal RING this is the switch to power the AG6 on SLEEVE this is the ground Once you plug an instrument jack inside the female connector, the plug unifies/connects the RING and the SLEEVE turning on the AG6 Hope that helps clarify. ~ Dave

When Ikingston brought his experience and insights to my attention, I was forced to go find my AG6 where it has been drawing dust for a couple of years in a music junk drawer. Long discarded and declared busted. Just to make sure, I set it up again on the bench and tested it via screwdriver tapping. Fully expected to confirm my earlier result. However.. it worked. I then set it up in a guitar. It worked.
So.. I hate eating crow. Especially after being so very righteously indignant at the loss of an expensive pickup and mic. But when crow is served.. For whatever reason, I failed to properly test the replacement after the initial broken one. Could not tell you what piece of that test failed.. cable type, battery, bad connection, unknown. But it was operator error and I was the operator. In any case, there were not sequential failures.. just the initial one that was handled properly under the terms of the Schertler warranty. My apologies for the inaccurate inputs on this topic.

Now that it’s working, please post what you think of the way it sounds. Remember, just barely turn the mic up to 10% or less if you are running it through an amp or monitor. Turn it up all the way (or to taste) if you are recording.

And of course you have to be more aware of your distance from the speakers than you would normally be with just a magnetic to help with that feedback. |

I tried that and didn’t have much luck, at least not with an EQ section that had a sweepable mid, a notch filter, a high pass filter, and a phase reverse. Maybe with a multi-band parametric I could get a little more mic. The good news is that with 10% mic, I really like the sound. I get lots of mic air, and rhythmic taps on the guitar are about where they should be. |

Just curious, Spook...did you try out the AG-6? Are there any late-breaking
findings to report? Thanks. |
