Hear This!
The SA330x amplifier is capable of cleanly reproducing the sound of your
instrument at very high volume levels. Prolonged repeated exposure to high
sound pressure levels (SPLs) without protection can cause permanent hearing
loss. OSHA has set guidelines and specified permissible sound-exposure limits
for those who work in high SPL environments.
Permissible Noise Exposures
Duration per day, hours Sound level dBA slow response
8 90
6 92
4 95
3 97
2 100
1 1/2 102

To ensure against permanent hearing loss, wear hearing protection when you perform with
amplification.

Welcome
Max. stand diameter: 43inches / 110cm
Thank you for choosing Fishman. We are proud to offer you professional-grade
amplication products and accessories that will empower you to sound your very
best.
Please read through this User Guide to familiarize yourself with the operation of
your SA330x. Additional information and support can be found at
www.shman.com
Setting the SA330x on its Stand
When the SA330x is used as a portable PA system it is imperative that
it be used with the included tripod speaker stand, and that it be placed
directly on a level, solid, flat surface.
Do not substitute the included Fishman tripod speaker stand with a nonFishman part, or attempt to mount or suspend the SA330x in a permanent or
temporary manner other than that as described in this guide or by Fishman.
1. To avoid accidentally being pushed over, or where it may be a trip hazard,
locate the stand in a place that is free of obstructions.
2. Loosen the lower of the two large thumbscrews and spread the tripod
legs. Follow the height warnings printed on the stand for safe operation
(Figure 1). Setting the height outside this area is forbidden. Tighten the
thumbscrew before placing the SA330x on the stand.
3. Remove the safety pin and loosen the upper large thumbscrew. Extend
the top tube to the fourth hole or lower to match the “head level” of your
audience. Replace the safety pin. Allow the tube to rest on this pin and
then tighten the top thumbscrew (Figure 2).
4. Lift the SA330x using the handle on the back of the unit while supporting
the weight with your other hand. A guide is molded into the underside of
the SA330x and acts as an aid in positioning the SA330x onto the tripod.
Once positioned, lower the SA330x onto the tripod until it rests firmly on
the tube.
Warning: Follow the height warnings printed
on the stand for safe operation. Setting the
height outside this area is forbidden.

the Clip LED flashes, then back off
the Gain until no clipping occurs.
