Fishman Prefix Pro Blend Acoustic Guitar System

Fitted to Alhambra guitars with the code "E2"

Fishman writes
"Featured for the Pro Blend is the acclaimed Acoustic Matrix under-saddle pickup. It delivers a clear, articulate sound with emphasis on string definition and attack. To compliment and contrast this picup, a minature electret microphone (mounted to the underside of the preamp chassis) captures the guitar's elusive natural ambience and sound chamber resonance. Blend the picup and Microphon together for a powerful and cohesive acoustic guitar tone that is depper and more "filled out", than the sound of either the microphone of pickup alone.

"The Previs 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 & treble, plus a semi-parametric "Countour" EQ are included so you can shape your guitar's tone exactly to taste. To complete the package, we include a phase select switch and an adjustable notch filter, bother essential for fighting feedback.

The Pickup
The system's under-saddle pickup is the industry standard Fishman Acoustic Matrix. It is made with Fashman's exclusive co-polymer sensing material. This proprietary material reproduces your acoustic guitar sound with a sensitivity and dynamic range that surpasses all other known materials (including piezo-ceramic and so called "piezo-film" pickups).

At the heart of the pickup is a multi-layer sandwich of co-polymer strips. These strips sense motion across the entire length of the saddle for unparalleled performance. Compared [with] ceramic picups with individual elements, the Acoustic Matrix's "unitary" co-polymer design provides a more natural and balanced response, with sensitivity to both the strings and the soundboard. The transducer is fully enclosed in a shielded foil wrap for dead quite performance and total EMI noise rejection.

The Microphone
This quality electre-condenser microphon will provide very high level sound reporudction before feeback when used in conjunction with the unit's Phase, Notch and Conour EQ. Conveniently shock-mounted to the underside of the pre-amp chassis, the microphone is strategically isolated inside the instrument. For stage use, the Microphone's interior location afffords you unprecedented freedom of movement as well as minimal bleed through from other instruments.

Signal to noise ratio : 77dB.
