Page 3: Quick Install
If you travel with your guitar or store it for long periods with the pickup in place, we strongly recommend that you have the endpin jack permanently installed in the guitar. Installation instructions for professional installers are available from Fishman Support at www.fishman.com/support. -
Page 4: Mounting Clamps
Mounting Clamps The jaws of the clamps are lined with natural cork, which will not interact with the guitar’s finish. Use gentle pressure to tighten the clamps. Note that over-tighten- ing may damage the guitar finish. Power The Rare Earth switches on when you plug in. To conserve the batteries, unplug the endpin jack when not in use. -

The magnetic pickup’s strength is its articulation, high gain-before-feedback, and isolation from other nearby sound sources.
- Page 9 Microphone Bass Switch The Mic bass switch controls the low frequency extension of the microphone. When switched to the position pointing toward the treble strings, this control will provide the fullest bass for mic only applications or blended tones where more mic bass is preferred.

Questions and answers
can i feed the output of a rare earth mic blend, into a 2002 fishman prefix plus that was originally designed for use with a high impedance UST piezo transducer?
No. The output of the Fishman Rare Earth Mic Blend is not designed to match the high impedance input of the 2002 Fishman Prefix Plus, which is made for undersaddle piezo transducers. The Rare Earth Mic Blend has an active low-impedance output, while the Prefix Plus expects a high-impedance signal.
