KNA AP1 guitar/ukulele/cajon universal pickup

Simply stick the pickup on your instrument’s soundboard.

The piezo element is encased in laminated birch with an elegant and stylish maple top. The lightweight assembly offers maximum tonal sensitivity.

AP-1 has a passive design that reproduces the natural sound of the instrument with no need for a battery.

The pickup comes with a double-sided adhesive disc and enough PowerTack adhesive for multiple applications, and a detachable 1/8" to 1/4" cable that allows the pickup to remain in place during storage.

Remove the pickup and other materials from the box. Before you begin, note that for the best sound it’s best to try AP-1 on different spots on your instrument. The non-permanent design of the adhesive putty makes this possible. Open the provided adhesive putty.

Take a small amount of putty and stretch it to a shape that will cover more of the bottom of the pickup. Place it in the middle of the pickup.

Place the pickup on a selected area of your instrument’s soundboard. This may be the top of a guitar, or flat side of a drum. With your volume off, plug the cable with the 1/8ʺ connector into your pickup and the 1/4ʺ connector into your favorite high-impedance amplifier. Hold the pickup firmly when attaching and detaching the cable. Play your instrument and listen to the sound of AP-1.Move AP-1 to different places on the soundboard until you find the sweet spot for the sound you like.

You can choose to continue using the putty or, for more permanent and stable installation, you might use the provided double sided adhesive discs. To use AP-1 with the discs, first carefully remove the putty from AP-1. Peel the protective layer from one side of a disc and place it in the center of the pickup.

Remove the other side’s protective later and firmly press the AP-1 on the desired place of the instrument. Enjoy your new pickup and make music!
