LightWave Optical Pickup System

Atlantis is the first guitar ever offered with LightWave’s exclusivepickuptechnology,theLightWaveOpticalPick-upSystem, thatuses infrared light technology tosensestring vibration for a rich, natural, amplified acoustic guitar soundwithoutthefeedbackofmicsortheharshnessofpiezos.

Unlikepiezopickupsthatsensethevibrationofthebridgerather than the strings, which produces that strident,quackysound,theAtlantisLightWaveOpticalPickupliter-ally‘sees’thestring,deliveringasmooth,naturalacousticsound, rich inharmoniccontent.Piezosalsohaveverypoorattackcharacteristics,while theLightWaveOpticalPickuphasextremesensitivityandwidedynamicrange,capableofdetectingallofthesubtlenuanceandarticula-tionoftheplayer’sstyle.

The Voice of the StringTm

What you will hear is extraordinary: the sound of thestrings, the sound of the instrument, and most impor-tantly,thesoundofyourplaying.Youwillnoticeawholenew sensitivity in the interaction between your fingers, the stringsandtheinstrument,thatwillcreateanewpaletteofsubtlenuancesanduniquetonalities.Playingbig,openchords,closeintervals,complexvoicings,andharmonicsonyourAtlantiswillbearevelation.Youwillhearanopen-ness, transparency and dimensionality unlike anythingyouhavepreviouslyexperienced.

All NiMH batteries require several cycles of completecharge/dischargetorestorefullcapacityafteralengthystorage.Tobeassuredofafull-capacitypackandoptimalplayingtime,followthesesteps:

1.PlugintheBatteryCharger,tochargethebatterycom-pletely.Thiswilltake1.5hoursorless.

2.UnplugtheCharger.

3.Plugaguitarcableintothe1/4”OutputJack,andleavetheinstrumentturnedonforatleast16hours,todis-chargethebatterypackcompletely.

4.4 Instrument maintenance

After you have finished playing, thoroughly wipe the entire instrument,includingthestrings,withaclean,softcloth.Avoid exposing the instrument to any chemical or sub-stance that might mar the finish. Avoid prolonged expo-suretodirectsunlight,orsourcesofexcessivetempera-tureorhumidity.Largechangesinaveragetemperatureand humidity may call for an adjustment to the neck’strussrodtocompensate.

7.1 Tips

Atlantis isaguitarwithanactivepickupsystem,so theoutputcanbepluggedintoawiderangeofdeviceloadswithout affecting tonal response. The minimum recom-mendedloadis10KOhm,typicalofamixingboardLineinput.TheAtlantisisnotdesignedtobedirectlyconnectedintoalow-impedancemicrophoneinput;aD.I.boxshouldbe used for that purpose. Connection to a passive D.I.boxwillneitherdull thetreble,ashappenswithpassivemagneticpickupguitars,northinthebassresponse,aswithpassivepiezopickupguitars.TheAtlantis’outputwillnotproperlydriveheadphonesdirectly.

7.2 Troubleshooting

Problem:Whentheguitarcableispluggedin,thePowerLEDdoesnotlight,andnosoundisheard.Solution 1:Besurethecableisa‘TS’(Tip/Sleeve)cable,andnota‘TRS’(Tip/Ring/Sleeve)cable.Solution 2: Plug in the battery pack charger and tryagain. Check the back of the guitar for the ‘ChargeStatus’LEDtohavelitred.

Problem:Thesoundisveryweakordisappearing.Cause:Batterypacknearbeingfully-drained.Solution:ChecktheStatusLEDinthebridgetoseeifitisout,orverydim.Ifso,thebatterypackneedsrecharging.

(Youcancontinuetoplaywiththechargerunitpluggedin,andthebatterypackwillstillcharge).

Problem:Oneormorestringssoundsofterthantheothers.Cause:Opticsoutofalignment,orstring trimpotsneedadjusting.Solution 1:Didyoujustadjusttheaction,orchangestringgauges?Ifso,theopticalsetupmayhavetobere-done.Checktheconditionoftheopticalsetup(see3.3:OpticsAlignment). If it is out of alignment, perform the opticalsetupprocedure.Solution 2:Ifnot,checkthesoundoftheguitarwhileitis unplugged, and notice whether a suspect string alsohaslowoutputacoustically.Ifitdoes,changethatstring,orcompensatebyadjustingtheindividualstringloudnesstrimpots.(SeeMotherboardillustration,section3.4).

Problem:Batterypackchargeisconsumedquickly.Cause:Batterypackcapacityreducedbecauseofdisuseforanextendedperiod,andneedsrefreshing.Solution: Fully charge and discharge the battery packseveral times to restore its capacity. (See 4.2 BatteryPackAdvisory).

Problem:Batterypackwillnotchargeorholdacharge.Cause 1:Poorconnectionbetweenbatterypackandoth-erinternalcircuitry.Solution 1: Make sure the charger unit is plugged firmly intothechargerjack,andthatthebatterypackispluggedintothePowerManagementBoard.Cause 2:Batterypacklifeisexhausted.(Shouldlastforseveralhundredchargecycles).
