Acoustic Instrument Preamp
®
Pocket Blender
Thank you for choosing the Fishman Pocket Blender. Our goal is to provide you with acoustic amplification products that will simply let you sound your best. With our long-standing commitment to quality, you can feel confident that your Fishman gear will produce great sound and trouble-free performance for years to come. Please take a few minutes to read this guide and familiarize yourself with the system. [. . . ] Typical applications for the sends: · Transducer Send to an Electronic Tuner The transducer send provides a strong and steady signal for electronic tuners. Since the send is not affected by the mute switch, you may tune your instrument onstage without being heard through the speakers. · Live Recording or Broadcast Feed Since the sends are not affected by any of the front panel volume controls, you can plug them into an external DI for a fixed level signal for recording or radio gear.
Returns
The microphone or transducer returns can be used as alternate inputs. A buffered signal appearing at one of the Returns will replace the signal appearing at the respective input of the Pocket Blender. For example, a CD or MD player can plug into the microphone return, replacing the microphone signal.
Outputs
Plug the 1/4" output into an instrument amplifier or an unbalanced input on a mixer. Plug the XLR output into the balanced input of a PA mixer or recording console.
Ground Lift
Use this switch to eliminate AC ground loop hum. When you use the XLR output together with the 1/4" output or one of the effects loops and you hear hum from the speakers, push the ground lift switch in and the hum should go away. If you have more than one AC powered device plugged into the Pocket Blender, the "lift" position may not completely eliminate ground loop hum.

Piezo and Magnetic Pickup
· Signal from piezo is routed through a mono instrument cable to the tip jack of a Stereo "Y" cable (p/n ACC-BLE-CBY). · Signal from magnetic pickup is sent through a mono instrument cable to the ring jack of a Stereo "Y" cable (p/n ACC-BLE-CBY). This signal goes to the microphone channel · 9-Volt phantom power is off (switch is out).
Note: Both signals may be routed through a stereo instrument cable.

3. XLR to mains and transducer effects to stage monitors to reduce feedback. The signal from the transducer send goes into a direct box and then into the PA. Have the soundman put only this signal through the stage monitors to help reduce feedback.

USING MULTIPLE OUTPUTS
All the Pocket Blender's outputs can be used simultaneously. [. . . ] Notch Filter: The Fishman Pro-EQ Platinum has a notch filter for eliminating low freq. Parametric EQ: We suggest cutting 5 dB at the instrument's cavity resonance (see above) with a . 5 octave bandwidth (Q). Graphic EQ: Cut 5 dB at the instrument's cavity resonance (see above) with 1/3 octave cuts on either side of the center frequency.

Pocket Blender
High Frequency Feedback The microphone's rising response can create a feedback loop with a high frequency driver in your speaker system. This feedback usually starts above 1. 5 kHz, peaks at 4 kHz and subsides at 9 kHz. [. . . ]
