USER MANUAL DB-1 AKG
The double-bass bridge DB-1 was designed in co-operation with musicians on the stage and in the studio, for direct sound take-off from a double-bass. The bridge offers professional acoustic transmission quality and guarantees unrestricted freedom of movement on the stage, since the constant alignment of the instrument to an external microphone is no longer necessary. Furthermore, because tripods and adaptors are no longer needed, the work involved in transport and in preparing the stage is also reduced.
Operation
The double-bass bridge DB-1 is used like a normal bass bridge. The transmitting system must be supplied with universal phantom supply (9-25 V to DIN 45596), either from the mixing console or by means of an external phantom supply device (AKG B18; B29 for DB-1 B-lock).
Installation
The double-bass bridge DB-1 is fitted and installed on the instrument in the same way as a conventional bridge without an integrated sound transmission system. If you do not possess the necessary tools and specialist knowledge, we recommend you have the bridge installed by your violin-maker in the usual way. Care must simply be taken that the lead is not kinked or damaged. In addition, the slots for the strings should on no account extend past the marked line, otherwise the sound transmitting system will be damaged.
The bridge has adequate material in reserve so that it can be adapted for all the usual string arrangements.
