Fishman Rare Earth Blend Acoustic Guitar Pickup

Fishman Rare Earth Blend pairs an active humbucking acoustic guitar pickup with a high quality, internally mounted miniature microphone. Fishman Rare Earth Blend pickups fit snugly into acoustic guitar soundholes offering easy installlation. Rare Earth Blend systems also combine the percussive attack and controlled sustain of the magnetic pickup with the resonant, ambient qualities captured by the internal microphone.

It easily adjusts into position with a flexible gooseneck that is permanently attached to the pickup housing. Balance between the microphone and magnetic signals is controlled by a small rotary pan pot, accessed through the soundhole. A simple modification to Fishman Rare Earth Blend allows you to split the microphone and pickup signals for true stereo blending. Battery life is rated at 150 hours.

• Installs easily in minutes, and plugs in right out of the box.
• Powerful neodymium (a rare earth element, hence the name) pole piece magnets are responsible for the pickup's excellent string to string balance.
• Low profile design ensures that both your picking style and the guitar’s acoustic tone will be unaffected.
• Low noise, discrete Class A circuit design preserves full range performance, in any audio environment.
• May be plugged into an acoustic instrument amplifier, sound reinforcement system, recording console or direct box; all with excellent results.
• Run up to 80' cables lengths (including cables of questionable quality) without the sound degradation typical of other soundhole pickup designs.
• Miniature battery mounts conveniently to the underside of the pickup, greatly simplifying battery changes.
• Low current design of the preamp allows a generous >300 hours of use between battery changes.
• The Fishman Switchjack Stereo Endpin Jack enables the user to add an additional passive or active pickup.
