Thank you for your purchase of a FISHMAN product. Please read these

The FISHMAN V-200 is the finest piezoelectric violin transducer avail­able. It’s design is based on that of the FISHMAN V-100 with the added
benefits of the CARPENTER 1/4" Output Jack.

The V-200 is a bridge mounted, piezo-ceramic pickup. It senses string
vibrations via a single piezo element, fastened to the instrument's wing
slot with a patented floating mount.

The V-200 installs in minutes, with only minor alterations required. Its
low mass minimizes any damping or muting that could affect the instru­ment's acoustic tone. The V-200 provides a natural, acoustic sound for
arco or pizz playing styles.

The CARPENTER JACK was designed by noted repairman Fred
Carpenter. This professional-quality 1/4" violin pickup jack, molded into
an attractive housing, attaches to the lower bout with chinrest hardware.
It makes a perfect mounting point for adding a microphone and does not
affect the instrument’s acoustic tone. It also makes it easy to use a cable
with a right angle plug. The CARPENTER JACK has become extremely
popular with many of today’s finest touring and session musicians.
