Fishman Prefix Pro Wide

Prefix Pro Wide description:

The Fishman PREFIX PRO WIDE Acoustic Guitar Preamp Includes Acoustic Matrix under saddle pickup. An instrument-mounted pickup / preamp system that offers total control of your amplified guitar sound.

The Fishman PREFIX PRO WIDE includes a FISHMAN 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 PREFIX PRO preamp module incorporates a unique "flip-top" battery compartment for easy access. Level is set by the VOLUME control. A variable NOTCH filter, shelving BASS and TREBLE and resonant style MIDDLE and BRILLIANCE controls are included for precise tone shaping. A LOW BATTERY indicator lets you know when it’s time to change the battery. The Prefix Pro system is ideal for smaller body guitars, occupying a 1/3 less space than the similar Prefix Plus system due to the reduced size of the bezel. It is an excellent fit on slim-bodied Acoustic Electrics.
