TRU•MIC TECHNOLOGY
U.S. Patent Pending

A. MIX CONTROL (Mixes between mic and pickup)
When the mix control is rolled toward the neck, the Tru•
Mic is carrying the majority of the guitar’s voice with the
Element pickup supporting only the lowest frequencies.
Press this button to invert the phase. Usually one phase
will sound best and/or provide the best feedback
resistance.
B. PHASE INVERSION
When rolled toward the bridge, you will hear the full-
range Element pickup only.
Feel free to experiment with dierent positions as there
is a wide range of great sounding and useful settings.
We recommend trying both phases each time you set up.
ABCD
E

C. VOLUME CONTROL
D. BATTERY CHECK
Roll this wheel toward the neck to increase the volume
or toward the bridge to decrease the volume.
A full battery will light up all 5 LED’s and should give you
approximately 170 hours of playing time. When only two
lights are lit, you have about 8 hours of normal playing
time left. If only one light is lit, replace the battery.
The battery is typically mounted on the neck block or the
upper bout.
To maximize battery life, make sure to unplug your
instrument cable when not using the Anthem. The
battery check will work even when there is no cable
plugged in.
E. MIC LEVEL CONTROL (Adjusts the level of the Tru •
Mic relative to the level of the Element)
IMPORTANT: Setting this control correctly is vital to the
sound of the Anthem system.
First, you must roll the mix control completely toward
the neck. Play through a P.A. or acoustic amplier while
you are making adjustments. A small at-head jeweler’s
screwdriver will be needed.
Your amplied tone should be well balanced and true to
the acoustic sound and feel of the guitar. If it lacks clarity
and top-end, increase the mic’s level by turning the
control clockwise. Back it o slightly If you experience
excessive handling noise and/or brightness.
Press this button to check battery life.
