Fishman Prefix Pro Blend Narrow

The Fishman PREFIX PRO BLEND NARROW Acoustic Guitar Preamp Includes Acoustic Matrix under saddle pickup. An instrument-mounted pickup/mic/preamp system that offers total control of your amplified guitar sound.

The Fishman PREFIX PRO BLEND NARROW includes a Fishman Acoustic Matrix pickup; made with a unique co-polymer sensing material available exclusively from Fishman. This technology is not available from any other manufacturer. The sensing material exhibits a sensitivity and dynamic range that far surpasses all other known sensing materials. The Acoustic Matrix transducer is a fully EMI shielded, multi-layer sandwich of co-polymer strips that run the length of the pickup. This design allows the pickup to sense the motion of the entire saddle length, providing superb string to string balance, as well as sensitivity to both the strings and top of the instrument. It delivers a clear, articulate sound with emphasis on string definition and attack. To compliment and contrast this pickup, a miniature electret microphone (mounted to the underside of the preamp chassis) captures the guitar's elusive natural ambience and sound chamber resonance. Blend the pickup and Microphone together for a powerful and cohesive acoustic guitar tone that is deeper and more "filled out", than the sound of either the microphone or pickup alone. The PREFIX PRO BLEND preamp module incorporates a unique "flip-top" battery compartment for easy access. Levels are set by the master volume and blend controls. Traditional shelving-style bass and treble, plus a semi-parametric "Contour" EQ are included so you can shape your guitar's tone exactly to taste. To complete the package, Fishman include a phase switch and an adjustable notch filter, both essential for fighting feedback.
