Getting Started
1. Determine the rotary controls (Volume, Tone, etc.) and switches to be used in your
installation, including those included with your purchase. Test t the components to
make sure that each will t in the allocated locations or modify the instrument until the
t is correct and all controls can be located without issue. Fishman Fluence Pickups are
active and require 25K audio taper potentiometers.
2. Fishman Fluence multi-voice pickups require a 9V power supply.
• If using a standard 9V battery, test t cavity locations for simple installations or
consider installing an externally accessible battery compartment (available separate-
ly.) Note that it is important the battery is not allowed to short contacts between
controls in the instrument.
• If using a separately purchased Fishman rechargeable battery, refer to those
instructions to complete this part of your installation.
• Note that it may be possible to combine other active pickups with Fishman Flu-
ence pickups, but all pickups will need to use the same 9V power source. Only active
pickup combinations are supported.
