Power may be supplied by either a 9V battery (battery compartment
underneath the pedal) or the Fishman 910-R power adapter.

XLR D.I. Output

Connect a standard microphone cable here to feed recording equipment or a
sound reinforcement mixing console. When the 1/4” output is also connected,
this D.I. output’s ground is automatically lifted to prevent any unwanted ground
loops. This D.I. provides a xed-level output, unaffected by the volume control.

D.I. Output Pre/Post

Choose between a true D.I. (pre EQ) or an effected XLR output (post EQ).

• Post is useful in live venues (especially if you are mixing from onstage)
where you want your “dialed-in” sound to come through the PA.

• Set this switch to the Pre position when you want a “at” DI signal
going to the board and you wish to leave it to the sound-person or
recording engineer to dial up the instrument tone from their console.

Amp Output

Use a standard ¼-inch instrument cable to connect the amp output to your
amplier, mixer or effects devices. You can also connect the amp output to an
unbalanced input on a recording system.
