USERS GUIDE RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资料库 This fine instrument is equipped with a FISHMAN PREFIX PLUS ACOUSTIC GUITAR SYSTEM. Please read these instructions care- fully. If you have any questions or problems, please call our CUS- TOMER SERVICE LINE at (978) 988-9665. The PREFIX PLUS is an instrument-mounted pickup / preamp sys- tem that offers total control of your amplified guitar sound. THE PICKUP The PREFIX PLUS ACOUSTIC GUITAR SYSTEM includes the FISH- MAN ACOUSTIC MATRIX pickup; made with a unique co- polymer sensing material available exclusively from Fishman. This technology is not available from any other manufacturer. The sensing material exhibits a sensitivity and dynamic range that far surpasses all other known sensing materials. The ACOUSTIC MATRIX transducer is a fully EMI shielded, multi-layer sandwich of co-polymer strips that run the length of the pickup. This design allows the pickup to sense the motion of the entire saddle length, providing superb string to string balance, as well as sensitivity to both the strings and top of the instrument. THE PREAMP The PREFIX PLUS preamp module incorporates a unique flip-top battery compartment for easy access. A variable NOTCH filter, shelv- ing BASS the image you see is similar, but the per- spective is shifted. When you move to the right, the image appears to move to your left. Continued . ONBOARD ACOUSTIC GUITAR SYSTEM 9 PHASE, Continued from Page 8 WHAT IS THE PHASE SWITCH FOR? The phase switch is useful for two reasons: 1. Due to the interactive and changing nature of phase, acoustic amplification depends on maintaining optimum phase relationships between amplified instruments, sound systems and venues. 2. Since an industry standard for polarity has not been established for all sound equipment, the phase switch can compensate for any unintentional differences that might occur between instrument and sound system. APPLICATIONS In any situation where the instrument faces a loudspeaker, there will be an inter- active phase relationship between the two. This usually occurs with stage amps, side fill and floor monitors at close distances. LOW VOLUME AMPLIFICATION At low volumes, when an instrument and speaker are at similar levels and are in phase, the sound is full and solid, with the lower frequencies emphasized. When a miced instrument and speaker are out of phase at low levels, the bass frequencies cancel out to some extent. The resulting sound is somewhat unnat- ural and unbalanced compared to in phase. HIGH VOLUME LEVELS At high volume levels, when an instrument and speaker are in phase, the sound pressure from the speaker will excite the instruments sound chamber, creating a feedback loop at the instruments lowest octave. This cavity resonance feed- back can be dealt with by putting the instrument and speaker out of phase or by adding equalization. A. USING THE PHASE SWITCH TO REDUCE FEEDBACK. Inverting the PHASE switch will put the instrument and speaker out of phase with each other, cancelling the low frequency feedback. If you move from your position on stage more than a few feet, you may have to invert the PHASE switch again to maintain an out of phase relationship between the miced instrument and speaker. Continued . FISHMAN PREFIX PLUS 10 PHASE, Continued from Page 9 Heres why: A typical guitar has a cavity resonance of about 100 Hz. This is the frequency that generally feeds back when the guitar and speaker are in phase. 100 Hz has a wavelength of about 11 feet. Phase inverts 180 for every 1/2 a frequencys wavelength. In this case, 1/2 the wavelength is about 5 1/2 feet. If you set your PHASE switch to eliminate cavity resonance (out of phase) and then move 5 1/2 feet towards or away from the speaker, you will effectively put the miced guitar/speaker relationship at 100 Hz back in phase;in the line of fire for low frequency feedback. B. USING THE NOTCH FILTER TO REDUCE FEEDBACK Notching out instrument cavity resonance will eliminate the low frequency feed- back problem completely. The advantages to using notching equalization are: The physical distance from the speaker will no longer be a factor for potential low frequency feedback. The miced instrument/speaker can remain in phase, maintaining a more nat- ural and balanced response. The PHASE switch on the ONBOARD BLENDER in effect electronically moves your instruments position relative to the speaker by inverting the phase 180 every time you flip it.
