Ellipse Matrix Blend

WELCOME ...

... and thank you for choosing the Ellipse Matrix Blend onboard preamp system. Now you
can achieve incredible acoustic sound of our acclaimed undersaddle pickup - the Acoustic
Matrix - blended with an adjustable condenser mini-microphone.

A patented neodymium mount holds the Ellipse preamp cleverly inside the soundhole, with
the controls right at your fingertips; Volume, Blend, feedback-fighting Phase and a Natural
I & II Voicing Switch. And, as with all our electronics, the preamp has been engineered to
be extremely quiet, yet still reproduce the dynamics of your playing.

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.

Volume

Generally set the Volume as high as possible (without causing your amp or mixer to distort) to
achieve the cleanest sound.
