Features

Power

Power may be supplied by either a 9V battery (battery compartment under the
device) or an AC adapter (sold separately). Insert a plug into either input jack,
and the preamp powers up. To conserve the battery, remove the plug(s) from the
input jack(s) when not in use.

For AC power, use the Fishman 910-R (for 110V) or other suitable 9V adapter.

The adapter must be fi ltered, regulated and rated for at least 200mA. It must

also accept AC power appropriate for your country. Power-plug requirements:

5.5mm O.D., 2mm I.D., tip = negative.

Input

The input accepts all piezo and magnetic pickups (passive or active). It is a

good idea to turn down your amp or mixer before you plug into the input of
the preamp.
