Connect the 1/4" output to the input of an instrument amplifier. The amp will see a blended signal of both microphone and pickup. input microphone - ring transducer - tip effects loop microphone send return transducer send return output AC ADAPTERS FISHMAN 910-R, ROLAND PSA SERIES phantom power ground lift 9V Made in the USA 2. Connect the XLR output to the input of your PA system. The PA will see a blended signal of both Microphone and pickup. This is a great way to control exactly what the soundman has to work with and what the audience will hear. input microphone - ring transducer - tip effects loop microphone send return transducer send return output AC ADAPTERS FISHMAN 910-R, ROLAND PSA SERIES phantom power ground lift 9V Made in the USA 3. XLR to mains and transducer effects to stage monitors to reduce feedback. [. . . ] Strategic Positioning: This works best in low to medium volume settings. The simplest solution for this type of feedback is to keep the microphone out of the path of the loudspeaker. Avoid standing directly in front of your amp. Send separate mix and transducer signals to your soundman and have only the transducer signal sent to your stage monitor. [. . . ]
