Mag mic is always on

[Yjk32123]

My mag mic seems like its always on even when not plugged in. And it drains out the battery too quickly. Any solutions?

Is your guitar's output jack the preamp/EQ on-off switch? I'd look at this first; those can often go wonky.
Either have the contacts bent back in shape, or spring for a replacement.

More details, please... what guitar? What pickup system?

There is no switch or control what so ever

Hmmm, so you are saying that when the pickup, when not plugged in still drains the battery? It might be thinking that it is plugged in, and this is not normal. Is this hard wired in the guitar or not?

Yes it drains out the battery even when not plugged in. And its easy to uninstall it

And for those who are wondering, here's the Mag Mic: LINK

Pretty cool concept that blends the signal from a magnetic pickup with an integrated microphone to pick up greater nuance and resonance characteristics in an acoustic guitar
