Hello,
I just bought a Silhouette HSH and I don't know how to use the two inputs: magnetic/stereo and piezo/mono.
Thank you for your help.

Bonjour,
je viens d'acheter un Music Man Silhouette HSH et je ne sais pas comment utiliser les deux entrées : magnétique/stéréo ou piézo/mono.
Merci pour votre aide.
 
From the EBMM website:

The Music Man models with piezo are designed to run out to two separate systems. That's what we consider the best option - the magnetic pickups are routed to a dedicated electric guitar rig and the piezo output is routed to a dedicated acoustic rig or perhaps the pa. To do this, you can either use both outputs at once with mono cables or you can run a single stereo cable out of the "magnetic/stereo" output and use a stereo-to-mono splitter box. Then, you take each respective lead where it is to go. Or, instead of running the piezo signal through the house mains, you could use an acoustic amplifier first and then run it to the house mains - or not.
Of course, you can always utilze the "piezo/mono" output jack with a mono cable out to your normal guitar amp by itself - but to get the full potential of the piezo bridge, we recommend running it through separate systems as described above.
 
Beej , searched for that diagram to no avail

Here is a link to a splitter box, not sure DuBaldo makes these any longer but they worked great
