Fishman Prefix Pro Blend Onboard Preamp - Narrow Format

Ideal for smaller body guitars! This miniature preamp shares similar performance specs as the Prefix Stereo Blender, on a smaller bezel that occupies 1/3 less space on the guitar. An excellent fit on slim-bodied acoustic-electrics. Featured for the Pro Blend is the acclaimed Acoustic Matrix under-saddle pickup. It delivers a clear, articulate sound with emphasis on string definition and attack. To compliment and contrast this pickup, a miniature electret microphone (mounted to the underside of the preamp chassis) captures the guitar's elusive natural ambience and sound chamber resonance. Blend the pickup and Microphone together for a powerful and cohesive acoustic guitar tone that is deeper and more "filled out", than the sound of either the microphone or pickup alone. Pickup width is 3/32" (.094", 2.3mm). The Prefix Pro Blend preamp module incorporates a unique flip-top battery compartment for easy access. Levels are set by the master volume and blend controls. Traditional shelving-style bass and treble, plus a semi-parametric "Contour" EQ are included so you can shape your guitar's tone exactly to taste. It is made with Fishman's exclusive co-polymer sensing material. This proprietary material reproduces your acoustic guitar sound with a sensitivity and dynamic range that surpasses all other known materials (including piezo-ceramic and so called "piezo-film" pickups).
