- Page 3 Welcome Thank you for making Fishman a part of your acoustic experience. We are proud to offer the fi nest acoustic amplifi cation products available; high-quality professional-grade tools which empower you to sound your very best. Before using your SA220, carefully read the following sections:...
- Page 4 A guide is molded into the underside of the SA220 and acts as an aid in positioning the SA220 onto the tripod. Once positioned, lower the SA220 onto the tripod until it rests firmly on the tube.
- Page 5 Plug the provided AC line cord into the back of the amplifier. Locate the Power switch and switch it off, then connect the power cord. Plug the SA220 into an electrical outlet with the appropriate AC voltage. Push in the Mute switch and turn on the Power switch.
- Page 6 Front Panel Controls The following pages describe the functions of each control or jack on the SA220 front and rear panels. Refer to these numbered diagrams for each numbered control on the following pages. 1. Mute – The Mute switch shuts off the signals from Channels 1 and 2 to the speakers and all the XLR outputs.
- Page 8 Front Panel Controls (cont.) 11. 10dB Pad – If you have a high output pickup and the Clip LED comes on at low Gain settings, push this switch in for a more usable range. 12. XLR Mic Input – You may also connect an outboard preamp with balanced XLR out to this input.
- Page 10 23. Tweeter Level – Set the front panel controls fl at and adjust the tweeter level to where it sounds best to you. 24. AC Power The SA220 has a universal power supply and can accept voltages from around the world. For amplifiers purchased in the USA, Canada and Mexico, plug in the supplied detachable AC power cable.
- Page 12 The 1/4 inch stereo (TRS) Aux Input mixes the signals to mono when amplifi ed. 26. Monitor In & Out – The monitor feature on the SA220 allows two performers, each with a SA220, to send their own mix to each other. The Monitor level on the front panel then blends in the other players mix.
- Page 14 About Acoustic Feedback There are two features provided to help control acoustic feedback, the Phase switch and the Anti-Feedback notch control. Feedback usually occurs in the lowest octaves of your instrument. The natural resonances which produce an instrument’s tone also react with amplifi ed sound. The louder an instrument is amplifi...
- Page 15 Setting Phase and Anti-Feedback The Phase and Anti-feedback controls can be used to restrict the two most dominant feedback notes, allowing greater volume before feedback than otherwise possible. In most cases, the Phase switch is used to control the lower dominant note while the Anti-Feedback notch is used to control the higher.
- Page 16 Monitor Feature The monitor feature on the SA220 allows two performers, each with a SA220, to “cross-feed” their EQ’d and mixed outputs to each other. This allows each player to turn up the other player’s mix as heard through through their own SA220.
- Page 17 A: All the following can be used safely with phantom power: 1: All balanced condenser microphones. 2: All balanced dynamic microphones. 3: Many new wireless units. Check with the manufacturer for compatibility. 4: A preamp/D.I. designed for phantom-power operation, such as the Fishman Pro-EQ Platinum.
