When we connect an Acoustic Guitar to the mixer, it sounds "thin" and "tinny"

Acoustic Guitar Filter Cable:

When a passive Pick-Up is installed in a Guitar, the sound from the Pick-Up is often "thin" and "tinny". This is because the frequency response of the Pick-Up is much more sensitive to the High Frequencies than the Low Frequencies.
