POSITIONING THE ACOUSTIC PERFORMER PRO
The Acoustic Performer Pro's unique design makes it ideal to be used
three different ways: standing upright, lying on its side, or supported
on a stand. When it's standing upright, it projects its sound forward, a
good choice for club performances or wherever your Acoustic Monitor
Pro is acting as your primary means for bringing your sound to your
audience.
Placed it on its side, the Acoustic Performer Pro acts like a monitor
(as shown), projecting its sound upward and outward. If you are using
one of the Sends to feed a signal from the Acoustic Performer Pro to
a large house P.A. or to an Acoustic Monitor Pro, then this is ideal for
you. Point it toward yourself, and adjust the levels to provide the best
amount of sound from your vantage point.
An optional mounting kit enables you to place the Acoustic Performer
Pro or Acoustic Monitor Pro on a stand (as shown) for maximum
sound dispersion. If you need some dispersion and want to hear the
Acoustic Performer Pro without laying it on its side, then consider set-
ting it on a chair or similar object (make sure it can support the ampli-
fier's weight!).

CARE OF YOUR ACOUSTIC PERFORMER PRO
Your Fishman Acoustic Performer Pro is designed for roadworthiness and is
protected by a rotationally molded polyethylene enclosure. All knobs and
switches are recessed to prevent accidental damage, and the speaker and
tweeter are protected by a steel grille. Some simple care will keep your
Acoustic Performer Pro looking good and working well for many years to
come.
DON'T ABUSE YOUR ACOUSTIC PERFORMER PRO
1
Even the best-built equipment isn't indestructible. There is high-tech circuitry
inside the enclosure, and the outside was designed to look good. Throwing,
dropping, dragging, and otherwise roughing up your Acoustic Performer Pro
isn't going to prolong its life or make it work better. Therefore, treat it well.
KEEP IT DRY AND COMFORTABLE
1
Your Acoustic Performer Pro is an electrical device designed to operate in a
dry environment. Don't use it near water or in the rain, or in damp basements.
And certainly don't store it in harsh environmental conditions, such as in a
damp basement, a leaky garage, or the trunk of your car (especially in the
summer - temperatures can reach more than 150 degrees Fahrenheit in there-
ouch!). A road case or slipcover, or even the box it came in can prevent scuff-
ing and jostling when it's traveling with you.
NEVER OPEN YOUR ACOUSTIC PERFORMER PRO OR
1
TRY TO MODIFY IT
This is an electrical device, and there's high voltage inside. Besides being
dangerous, opening the unit will void your warranty. Also, we designed every
aspect of the Acoustic Performer Pro very carefully, and it's not built for modi-
fying or "hotrodding".
KEEP IT CLEAN
1
You can vacuum the front and back of the Acoustic Performer Pro, and you
can wipe it clean with a damp rag.
NOTE: Always unplug the Acoustic Performer Pro before any cleaning proce-
dure. If it is especially dirty, you may use a weak solution of dishwashing liquid
and water to wipe the surfaces clean. However, never submerge the Acoustic
Performer Pro in water, nor expose the speaker or tweeter to water.
