System Components

(included)

A 1/4" stereo output jack is
provided with your
Powerbridge™ Pickup. It is an
essential component to the
Powerbridge™ System.
It can send piezo and magnetic
pickup signals to separate
amplifiers.

The magnetic

pickups are wired to Tip, and
the Powerbridge™ Pickup is
wired to Ring.

(not included)

Depending on how you want to set up your Powerbridge™ system, you can use
one of the following three instrument cables (available from your Fishman
dealer).

This will split the
Powerbridge™ and magnetic
pickup signals and send them
to separate amplifiers or other
destinations (PA, recording
devices, etc.).

Both magnetic and piezo signals can be sent through a single stereo instrument
cable to our Power

blend

™ p

edal

. From there, magnetic

 and piezo signals can 

be either combined to a single mono output or split to

 separate stereo outputs.

To minimize cross-talk, use a "2 Pair" premium stereo cable (available

through your Fishman dealer) with separate shielding for both the Powerbridge™
and magnetic signals.

If you want to blend the magnetics and the

Powerbridge™ together on the guitar you’ll need a Fishman Powerchip™. Plug
a standard mono cable into a Powerchip™ equipped guitar and you can mix
piezo and magnetic signals right on the instrument.

(See the Powerbridge™ System

User’s Guide for Powerchip™ description.)

A mono instrument cable will short out

the Powerbridge™ Pickup, but your magnetics will function 

exactly as they did

before you installed the Powerbridge™.

The simplest way to get the Powerbridge™ Pickup up and running is to wire it and the
magnetic pickups to  Tip/Ring outputs of the supplied stereo jack. A stereo "Y" cable
or a standard stereo cable can then carry the two signals. From there, all mixing and
blending functions will be performed offboard the instrument. A Fishman
Powerblend™ pedal is especially suited for offboard blending/mixing with this passive
setup.
For a passive setup, don't tie the Powerbridge™ and magnetic pickup wires together
to a guitar's mono output jack. This may seem like a good idea, but it won't work. If
you connect the piezo and magnetic outputs, you will experience a loss of tone and
a very bizarre and un-musical interaction between the Powerbridge™ and magnetic
pickups.
Magnetic and piezo pickups operate on different electrical platforms. Magnetics are
"inductors" and piezos are "capacitive" devices. To mix signals on the instrument
you’ll need to electronically isolate or "buffer" the two signals with an active mixing
circuit like the Fishman Powerchip™.
