Connect your device using the same instructions as in the Acousti-Phonic user
manual. When using the Hexpander alone, the power output is on when an
external device such as a MIDI converter is plugged in to the 13-pin connector
(power comes from the external device).
When using the Hexpander with the Acousti-Phonic pre-amp, the power output is
on when an external device is plugged in to the 13 -pin Hexaphonic Output Jack
(power comes from the external device), and when a plug is inserted in the stereo
jack (power comes from the battery).
The maximum current that may be drawn from the auxiliary power output is
50mA. However, for long battery life the current drawn should be kept to no
more than a few mA. Do not exceed the maximum current (in particular, do not
short the output) otherwise the Hexpander, Acousti-Phonic pre-amp or external
device may be damaged.
Acousti-Phonic QuickSwitch
When using the Hexpander together with the Acousti-Phonic pre-amp, the
Optional Acousti-Phonic QuickSwitch may be installed and wired using the
instructions in the Acousti-Phonic user manual.
The Acousti-Phonic QuickSwitch has no useful function if the Hexpander is being
used alone.
Power Output
If you have another electronic device inside the guitar cavity that requires a nine
volt supply you may power it from the auxiliary power output of the Hexpander.
Mid Boost Switch
When using the Hexpander together with the Acousti-Phonic pre-amp, the
Optional Mid/Dark Switch may be installed and wired using the instructions in
the Acousti-Phonic user manual. The quad cable assembly (blue, purple, yellow,
green and black wires) from the switch plugs into the MID, GHOST, VOL and MAG
pins of the Hexpander instead of the Acousti-Phonic pre-amp.
The Mid/Dark switch has no function if the Hexpander is being used alone.
