FEATURES

Gooseneck Microphone

This quality electret-condenser cardioid microphone will provide very high-level
sound reproduction before feedback when used in conjunction with the unit’s phase
switch. The microphone’s unique position also prevents leakage from other
instruments and offers complete freedom of movement compared to external stand-
mounted mics.

Volume

Set this as high as possible (without causing your amp or mixer to distort) for the
cleanest signal.

Phase Switch

Push the phase switch in and out until you find the position that sounds best and
subdues feedback.

Blend

Move the Blend slider to change the balance between the pickup and the
microphone. Move the slider left to emphasize microphone. Move it right for more
pickup.

Microphone Positioning

You can position the microphone to find the “sweet spot” inside the instrument. Take
the time to experiment with microphone placement until you find the position that
works best in your instrument.

Description

The Ellipse Blend combines an onboard gooseneck microphone and integrated
blending electronics to augment and enhance Fishman active pickup systems. A
patented non-invasive magnetic mount keeps the unit’s controls easily accessible
and discreetly out of sight.

Onboard controls with no holes!

The Ellipse Blend is an innovative onboard control system for those who do not wish
to put a hole in the side of their guitar. With a profile that is practically invisible, the
crescent-shaped Ellipse Blend fastens inside your guitar’s soundhole. This
convenient location lets you make quick adjustments to volume, phase and
pickup/microphone blend, without missing a beat.
