User manual FISHMAN ELLIPSE MATRIX BLEND

[. . . ] USER GUIDE ELLIPSETM MATRIX BLEND Quick Start 1. Set the controls · Set Volume off. [. . . ] Plug in the guitar and move the Blend slider to the left for mic only. Start with the mic capsule so that it faces the back of the guitar. Move the mic closer to the soundhole for more bass. Turn the capsule toward the sides of the instrument for less bass. Microphone T rim The microphone and pickup levels are preset at the factory and do not require adjustment. However, a microphone trim control (recessed below the Volume slider) may be adjusted to alter the microphone and pickup balance. Set the Blend slider to the center position and adjust the trim control as necessary. 4 Voicing Switch This switch selects how the pickup is voiced. Move the Voicing Switch towards the Volume slider for bass boost and towards the Blend slider for a flat response. Choose the setting that works for your instrument and your performance requirements. Here are some guidelines: · The boosted bass voicing (switch towards the Volume slider) compliments solo guitarists and singers who accompany themselves, especially with smaller instruments. · The flat voicing (switch towards the Blend slider) cuts through the mix if you play in a band. It does a good job controlling boominess and low frequency feedback onstage, especially with full-size guitars. 5 Battery Replacement When the battery is low you will hear distortion as you play through the Ellipse system.
