    Audere JZ3 problems

    The Clear wire is hot and braid is common. I just installed my audere last night with bart pups. Excellent combo. Very happy. Just attach each wire to the screw connectors on the board as described in the instructions. Do not connect pups to anything else just to the preamps screw connectors

    Does anyone have or know where I can get the original wiring diagram for this pre. It seems the former owners X-Wife tore into the electronics cavity and I need to get it working so I can use it. Can't afford to install new stuff. Has bart pups also. Thanks in advance for any help.
