Pocket Blender
2 - WIRING TO ACOUSTIC MATRIX NATURAL I & II
1. 2. 3. 4. Remove shielding cap to expose preamp circuit board. Connect red microphone wire to ring pad on circuit board. Connect white and shield microphone wires to "G" pad adjacent to ring pad. Connect supplied zener diode in place between red wire and sleeve. Note that banded side of the zener diode must be closest to red microphone wire.
3 - WIRING THE MIC & PICKUP WITH SEPARATE CONNECTORS
The advantages to wiring the microphone and pickup to separate mono connectors are: a. Microphone is interchangeable with other instruments. b. Less cross talk between passive pickups and the microphone. Typically, classical guitarists and double bassists find this arrangement convenient for sharing the microphone with several different instruments. Classical guitarists can install the microphone without drilling holes in the instrument. In this configuration, the microphone can also be removed without disturbing the pickup. 1. Connect red microphone wire to tip terminal on a ¼" mono plug. 2. Connect white microphone wire and shield to sleeve terminal the same plug. 3. Solder supplied zener diode in place between red wire and sleeve.
Note: The banded side of the diode must be closest to the red wire. For use with the Pocket Blender, plug the mic into the RING jack of a stereo "Y" cable (available from Fishman). Warning: Installation by a qualified repairperson is strongly recommended. Fishman Transducers Inc. will not be responsible for any damages due to improper installation.
QUICK START
To get up and running you'll need these components:
� Pocket Blender � 9-Volt alkaline battery � Pickup and mini-microphone connected to a stereo jack (See Page 3) � Stereo instrument cable � XLR cable or 1/4" instrument cable 1. Install a fresh 9-Volt alkaline battery. 2. Connect the stereo cable between the instrument and the input of the Pocket Blender. 3. Set the Mute, Lo and Hi switches to the out position. Set the phantom power switch on the rear panel to the in position. Set both channel volume controls fully counter clockwise. Set the Master level to 3:00. Set all the bass and treble controls to 12:00. 4. Run a cable from one of the outputs on the rear panel of the Pocket Blender to your amp or PA. 5. Adjust the trim controls - See Page 7 6. With the Pocket Blender's Master Level at 3:00, adjust both the microphone and transducer volume controls to approximately the same level. 7. Set the phase switches - See Page 6
