5. Channel 2, ¼ input (stereo)
Accepts all types of passive or active acoustic pickups. The Ring contact of this
stereo TRS input is tied to Channel 1. An instrument with two signal sources
(such as pickup and mini-mic) can be routed via stereo cable through this jack to
both Channels 1 and 2 (see page 16 for setup).
Note: Unplug Channel 1 input before you use Channel 2's ¼" input for stereo
blending. If you use both ¼" inputs simultaneously, Channel 1 takes priority and
shuts off the Channel 2 Ring signal.
With this setup, your pickup and onboard mini-mic can be EQ'd and blended
separately. Wire the mini-mic to Ring and the pickup to Tip and follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Turn on Phantom 15V power if your mini-mic
requires it. Stereo cables are available through your Fishman dealer.
Note: Items 6–14 are identical for both channels.
6. Clip LED
The Clip LED will light when the Gain level is too high and the signal becomes
distorted. If the light comes on when you play, lower the Gain until the distortion
goes away.
7. 10dB Pad
If you have a high output pickup and the Clip LED comes on at low Gain settings,
push this switch in to put your pickup into a more useable range.
8. Gain
Use the Gain knob to set the level of the signal. If the Clip LED fl ashes when you
play, lower the Gain until the fl ashing stops. If either channel is unused, set its
Gain to 7 o'clock (off).
9. Low
Boost here to add weight to the sound. In general, boost bass at low volumes
and fl atten it out (or cut) at higher levels. With the dial set at 12 o'clock, the
control is effectively out of the circuit.
10. Mid
This control affects how well the instrument blends in or stands out in the mix. At
loud volumes a midrange cut will achieve a more natural sound. With the dial set
at 12 o'clock, the control is effectively out of the circuit.
11. High
Boost highs to add "air" to the sound of the instrument. With the knob set at
12 o'clock, the control is effectively out of the circuit.
