Controls
Plug In • Connect the Matrix Infinity to your amplifier or PA with a ¼-inch
instrument cable. To conserve battery life, remove the instrument cable from the
guitar when the system is not in use.
Volume • For the cleanest noise-free sound, set the volume as high as possible
without causing your amp or mixer to distort.
Tone • This innovative one-knob tone control lets you choose between a natural,
undersaddle sound with no EQ (flat) on up to a “Scooped” tone with empha-
sized treble and bass and reduced midrange.
• To make individual notes sound thicker and punchier, roll the Tone
control to the right.
• Try the Tone control in the middle position for fingerpicking, when you
need just a bit of midrange cut.
• Roll the Tone control all the way to the left for more depth and
clarity to your sound, especially for hard strumming.

Additional Controls
Voicing Switch
This switch selects how the pickup is voiced. Move the Voicing Switch away from
the soundhole for bass boost and towards the soundhole for a flat response.
Choose the setting that works for your instrument and your performance require-
ments. Here are some guidelines.
• The boosted bass voicing (push switch away from soundhole) compli-
ments solo guitarists and singers who accompany themselves, espe-
cially with smaller
instruments.
• The flat voicing (switch towards soundhole) cuts through the mix if
you play in a band. It does a good job controlling boominess and low
frequency feedback onstage, especially with full-size guitars.

Battery Replacement
A low battery LED is built into the preamp housing mounted inside the guitar.
When the Battery LED lights steadily, it is time to change the battery. To replace
the battery, remove the fabric battery bag that is mounted inside the guitar.
If you ship your guitar, we recommend you remove the battery as a precaution.
Although unlikely, it is possible for the battery to jar loose inside the instrument
during shipment.

Installation by a qualified professional is strongly recommended.
