The unique aspect of the preamp is that you power it up with the special Mi-Si charger which connects to a standard AC outlet straight to the output jack. 60-seconds later (yes, just 1-minute) the preamp is fully charged for an effective playing time of 8 hours!! No more batteries. The pickup element inserts into one of the bridge wings (compression is important here, so some trimming or shimming may be needed). Professional installation recommended if bridge alteration is needed. Charger is included.
