Getting Started
The information in this section is comprised of basic setup tips intended to help get you started. To operate
the Loudbox Pro safely, please read the entire manual, especially the Important Safety Information above.
1. Set the power switch to off and connect the power cord.
If your amplifier has an operating voltage of 120V, plug the provided AC line cord into the back of the
amplifier.
If your amplifier operates at 240V, you must supply your own detachable power cord. The cord you
supply must have an IEC-style 320 connector at one end, and a male AC plug appropriate for your area
at the other.
2. Plug the Loudbox Pro into an electrical outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.
NOTE: Do not defeat the ground prong on the AC cable; the safe operation of this
amplifier depends on a proper ground connection.
3. Push in the Mute switch and turn on the Power switch.
4. Connect your instrument to the Channel 1 input with a shielded ¼" cable.
5. Set the Channel 1 Gain to 7 o’clock (off).
6. Set the controls as illustrated below.
7. Disengage the Mute switch and slowly raise the Channel 1 Gain until you reach a comfortable level.
Lower the Gain if the red Clip LED lights up when you play.
Description
The tri-amped, 600-watt, two-channel Loudbox Pro features a 12" woofer driven by a 380-watt power amp. The 6" polypropylene
mid driver is pushed by 160 watts and the three 1" soft-dome neodymium tweeters also have their own 60-watt amplifier. These
speaker components have been painstakingly designed for high power handling and a smooth, flat acoustic response. Each
component is housed in its own sealed enclosure and tuned precisely for acoustic stringed instruments. For close onstage
monitoring, an integrated kickstand allows you to tilt the amp back as much as 70 degrees.
Our decision to use a tri-amped, three-way speaker system was driven entirely by our quest for amplified clarity and sheer volume.
Most acoustic amplifiers on the market are severely underpowered and just don’t have the quality components and/or the
horsepower to honestly reproduce acoustic instruments at concert levels. To achieve the sound quality and power levels we were
looking for, a traditional power amplifier and two-way speaker system just couldn't cut it; we’d sacrifice the system’s response or
we would over-burden the drivers. Once we added a midrange driver and three power amps to the equation, all these problems
evaporated.
Taking a cue from commercial sound reinforcement systems, the three power amplifiers that drive the Loudbox Pro deliver cleaner,
less distorted sound through the speakers than any acoustic amplifier in its class. The high-efficiency paper-cone woofer pumps
out the bass, the polypropylene midrange driver handles the crucial mid frequencies and three soft-dome neodymium tweeters top
off the treble.
The tweeters in the Loudbox Pro are identical to those used in the best studio mastering monitors; they produce a silky smooth
treble that is perfect for acoustic instruments. With three of these tweeters, you get great dispersion and high SPLs, without the
unpleasant “honk” of high-frequency compression drivers found in many other acoustic amplifiers.
The two-channel Loudbox Pro features ultra-high impedance instrument inputs with EQ sections that include bass, midrange, treble
and brilliance controls. Loudbox Pro has a greater than 122 dB SPL rating, so the big thrills with this amp come when you step on
the gas and feel the surge of power. Fighting acoustic feedback is straightforward with the Loudbox Pro’s notch filters and phase
switches. A sophisticated digital reverb with five useful settings can be assigned to either (or both) channel(s). A mute switch, dual
effects loops, and an XLR output with selectable pre/post EQ round out the features.

Input
This input has a very wide operating range. It will accept high- or low-level signals
from active or passive pickups.
Clip LED
The Clip LED will flash when the gain level is too high and the signal becomes
distorted. If the light comes on when you play, lower the gain until the distortion goes
away.
Gain
Use the Gain knob to set the level of the signal for Channel 1. If the red LED flashes
when you play, lower the gain until the flashing stops. If Channel 1 is unused, set the
Gain to 7 o’clock.
Low
Shelving bass, ±10 dB @ 100Hz. Boost here to add weight to the sound. In general,
boost bass at low volumes and flatten it out (or cut) at higher levels. With the dial set
at 12 o’clock, the control is effectively out of the circuit.
Mid
A resonant-style filter, ±12dB @ 1.2kHz. This control affects how well the instrument
blends in or stands out in the mix. At loud volumes a midrange cut will achieve a
more natural sound. With the dial set at 12 o’clock, the control is effectively out of
the circuit.
High
Shelving treble, ±12dB @ 10kHz. Boost highs to add “air” to the sound of the
instrument. With the knob set at 12 o’clock, the control is effectively out of the
circuit.
Brilliance
A resonant-style tone circuit, ±12dB @ 10kHz. Add presence and “zing” to high
frequencies. With the knob set at 12 o’clock, the control is effectively out of the
circuit.
Anti-Feedback
A fixed-level, variable-frequency notch filter -14dB @ 20 - 400Hz. If you encounter
low-frequency feedback, sweep this control to isolate and eliminate it. Many guitars
will benefit with the Anti-Feedback knob set at about 11 o’clock. The Anti-Feedback
filter is off at the 7 o’clock position.
Phase
Use the phase switch in conjunction with the Anti-Feedback filter to eliminate
acoustic feedback.

Lo Cut
Feedback usually occurs in the lowest octave of your instrument, generally with two notes about a half step apart.
Like blowing air across a bottle, the lower type of feedback (cavity resonance) starts when the sound pressure coming
out of the speakers excites the resonant air chamber inside your instrument. We have found that it is effective to tune
out an instrument's cavity resonance feedback with the Anti-Feedback (notch filter) in the Loudbox. For acoustic
guitar this occurs at G# on the low E-string, or at about 100Hz. Turn the Anti-Feedback knob to about 11 o’clock to
dial out this resonance. Note that the circuit can be effectively defeated by moving the dial to the OFF (7 o’clock )
position.
The higher range of feedback (top resonance) usually starts about a half or whole step above cavity resonance of the
instrument. Top resonance feedback happens when the sound pressure coming off the speakers excites the resonant
frequency of the soundboard of your instrument. For acoustic guitar this occurs at A and above on the low E-string.
Push the Phase switch in and out until you find the position that subdues top resonance feedback.
Front Panel - Channel 2 (microphone or instrument channel)

Provides 48 Volts phantom power to the XLR Input for condenser microphones and
phantom-powered preamp/DIs.
Phantom Power FAQs
What devices are safe with 48V phantom power?
1 Phantom-powered condenser microphones
2 Balanced dynamic microphones
3 Many new wireless units
4 A preamp/DI designed for phantom-power operation, such as the Fishman Pro-EQ Platinum
What devices are potentially unsafe with 48V phantom power?
1 An unbalanced dynamic mic
2 A balanced line-level device that is not designed to accept phantom power (ex: some effects processors)
3 A balanced wireless receiver that is not designed to accept phantom power. Consult the manufacturer of the
wireless unit for compatibility
4 An unbalanced signal from an instrument preamp or stompbox
Important Note: Turn off phantom-power if you plug any of the above into the XLR input.
¼" Input
This input has a very wide operating range. It will accept high- or low-level signals
from active or passive pickups. Note that the XLR input will shut off if you attempt to
use it simultaneously with the Channel 2 (¼") input.
Clip LED
The Clip LED will flash when the gain level is too high and the signal becomes
distorted. If the light comes on when you play, lower the gain until the distortion goes
away. Note that the clip LED monitors both the Channel 2 XLR and ¼" inputs.

Set the overall level of the Loudbox Pro with the Master Volume. In general put the
Master Volume as high as possible (3 o’clock to 5 o’clock) to achieve a clean quiet
signal. Because the system can easily produce sound pressure levels in excess of
122dB, we strongly suggest that you wear hearing protection when you play at higher
volumes.
Mute
The mute switch shuts off the signals from Channels 1 and 2 to the speakers and the
XLR output. The mute does not affect the Aux Channel or the effects sends.
Power
Lower the master volume or engage the mute switch before you turn on the amp to
avoid any surprises. Flip the power switch up and it will light, indicating the amp is
on.

AC Power
For 120V amplifiers purchased in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, plug in the supplied detachable AC
power cable.
For 240V amplifiers purchased outside the USA and Canada, you must supply your own detachable
AC cable. This cable must have an IEC-style 320 connector at one end, and a male AC plug
appropriate for your area at the other.
Fuse Holder
The fuse is located within the AC power receptacle on the back of the amp. Access the fuse
compartment with a small slotted screwdriver.
For 120V amplifiers purchased in the USA and Canada, replace the fuse with: Littelfuse®type

Effects Loops
Ch 1 Effects Loop (serial)
Patch an external effect (delay, reverb, chorus) through these jacks. Use a standard 1/4" instrument
cable to connect the Ch 1 send to the input of the effect. Connect the Ch 1 return jack to the output
of the effect. The loop is located “pre-EQ” and is compatible with battery-operated stompbox-style
effects processors.
You may also connect the Ch 1 send jack to an external tuner or to an additional stage amp.
Ch 2 Effects Loop (serial)
Patch an external effect (delay, reverb, chorus) through these jacks. Use a standard ¼" instrument
cable to connect the Ch 2 send to the input of the effect. Connect the Ch2 return jack to the output
of the effect. The Ch 2 loop is located “pre-EQ” and is compatible with battery-operated stompboxstyle effects processors.
You may also connect the Ch 2 send jack to an external tuner or to an additional stage amp.
XLR Out
Use this balanced output to route your instrument’s signal to a mixing console, PA, etc. This output
is always ground lifted to reduce ground-loop hum.
XLR Pre/Post EQ switch
Select between a true DI (pre) or an affected XLR output (post EQ).
1. XLR Post EQ
The “Post” setting is useful in live situations, especially if you are mixing from onstage, where you
want the “dialed-in” sound from the amp to come through the PA.
2. XLR Pre
You'll find that this true direct or “DI” output produces an uncluttered signal that is exceptional for
recording. Set the switch to the “Pre” position when you want a flat DI signal going to the board
and you wish to leave it to the soundperson or recording engineer to dial up your tone and effects
from the console.

Kickstand
To hear yourself better onstage, use the kickstand to angle the Loudbox Pro back like a wedge-style floor monitor. The kickstand
has four click-stops that enable you to tilt the cabinet back to a 40, 50, 60 or 70-degree angle. Squeeze the buttons on the side of
the kickstand to unlock the pivot mechanism, and then select the angle that you prefer. Gently tilt the Loudbox Pro back onto the
kickstand. The closer you stand to the amp, the more angle you'll need to get the Loudbox pointed at ear level.
Guidelines for selecting the kickstand angle:
40 Degrees
The first click-stop tilts the Loudbox Pro back 40 degrees. Use this when you will be standing more than five feet (1.5 meters) from
the amplifier.
50 Degrees
The second click-stop on the kickstand angles the cabinet back 50 degrees, which is useful when you stand about three to five feet
(1 to 1.5 meters) from the Loudbox Pro. This angle is also useful when you perform sitting down next to the amplifier.
60 Degrees
The third click-stop angles the cabinet back 60 degrees. Use this position when you stand about one to two feet (30 to 60 cm) from
the Loudbox Pro.
70 Degrees
When space is very limited onstage and you must stand directly over the Loudbox Pro, set the kickstand at the fourth click-stop
to a 70-degree angle.
Warning: Do not pick the amp up by the kickstand!
For safe operation, use the kickstand only on solid, level ground.

Limited Warranty
Save your original sales receipt. It is your proof of purchase if you require warranty service.
Fishman Acoustic Instrument Amplifiers ("Products") are warranted to the original consumer purchaser to be free of defects in
materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase, with the exception
of the speaker components, which are warranted for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. If the Product fails to
function properly due to defects in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period, Fishman Transducers Inc.
("Fishman"), at its option, will repair or replace the Product, with no charge for labor or materials. This warranty applies only if the
Product is sold and delivered within the U.S. by an authorized Fishman Dealer.
Warranty service and repairs for Fishman Acoustic Instrument Amplifiers are to be made only at an authorized Fishman Service
Center OR at the factory in Wilmington MA. Unauthorized repairs will void this warranty.
Note: For factory warranty service, the customer must prepay freight to Fishman.
EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS DOCUMENT, THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL FISHMAN BE LIABLE
FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR OTHER OBLIGATION CONTAINED IN THIS OWNERS' MANUAL. THE WARRANTY CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL NOT APPLY IF THE
SERIAL NUMBER IS DEFACED OR REMOVED OR THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN DAMAGED BY ALTERATION, MISUSE, ACCIDENT, NEGLECT OR USE WITH
UNAUTHORIZED ATTACHMENTS.
To obtain warranty service from an authorized Fishman Service Center:
1. The Fishman Dealer where you purchased your amplifier may also be authorized to perform warranty service and should be
your first point of contact. If the Fishman Dealer who sold the Product is authorized to service the amplifier, bring the defective
unit to the service center along with your original sales receipt. If you can't provide the original receipt, the authorized
Fishman Service Center may charge you for repairs.
If your local Fishman Dealer cannot service the amplifier, contact Fishman online via Service/Support at www.fishman.com and
we will recommend an authorized Fishman Service Center in your area. If there is no service center close to you, return the
amplifier to the factory as described below.
2. Make sure you can duplicate the problem for the Service Center. If you bring in the amplifier for warranty service and the
technician can't duplicate the problem, you may be charged a service fee.
3. Fishman Authorized Service Centers reserve the right to inspect the amplifier before beginning warranty service. Final
determination of warranty coverage lies solely with Fishman Transducers or its Authorized Service Centers.
4. Fishman assumes no responsibility for the quality or timeliness of repairs performed by Fishman Authorized Service Centers.
To obtain factory service:
Amplifiers repaired under warranty at the Fishman factory will be returned to the customer via UPS ground freight, prepaid by
Fishman to any location within the continental United States.
Important!
A Product that is returned to Fishman which is not covered by the terms of this warranty will be
repaired and returned C.O.D. with billing for labor, materials, return freight and insurance.
For factory service, you must deliver the amplifier prepaid freight to Fishman.
1. Contact Fishman Transducers Factory Service via Service and Support at www.fishman.com to obtain a Return Authorization
number (RA number). Products returned without an RA number will be refused.
2. Pack the amplifier in its original shipping carton. If you do not have the carton, request one from us when you get your RA
number. Include your shipping address (no P.O. boxes or route numbers). Also include a copy of your sales receipt and a note
that explains how to duplicate the problem. If we cannot duplicate the problem at the Factory or verify the original purchase
date, we may, at our option, charge for parts/labor and return shipping.
3. Ship the amplifier freight prepaid to:
