Fishman concertmaster Manual Do Utilizador

When you plug in a standard mono instrument cable, the microphone and pickup signals will appear at the
Concertmaster's output.

If you wish to split the microphone and pickup signals to separate channels:

1. Plug in a stereo "Y" cable between the Concertmaster and 2 mixer channels.

2. Move the blend thumbwheel all the way to the right, to remove the microphone signal from the pickup channel.
The pickup signal will be present at the tip output and the microphone will be present at the ring output. This comes in
handy when you wish to keep the microphone signal out of floor monitors to minimize acoustic feedback.

It is time to change the batteries when you start hearing distortion through the Concertmaster. Slide the door off to reveal the
batteries. To remove, firmly work the batteries up and out of the battery clip. Replace with 2 Duracell DL2032 (or equivalent).
Make sure the plus (+) side of the batteries face up.

Battery life: 150 hrs.

Turn to the left for more microphone, to the right for more pickup. When you use the TRS stereo outputs, keep the wheel all
the way to the right (pickup only).

For the cleanest signal, turn the master volume as high as possible (to the right) without causing distortion.

Adjust the thumbwheel so that the clamps will fit snug on your violin.

Set the most comfortable playing angle with the provided .050" hex wrench. Back off one screw and tighten the other to adjust
the angle. Fasten the screws only finger-tight; over-torquing them may fracture the assembly.

To balance the microphone with a pickup, use a
small slotted screwdriver to adjust the level of the
microphone to taste. Plug in the system and place
the blend thumbwheel at the center detent and
adjust the microphone level with the trim pot until
you achieve the desired balance.

We provide three clamps, each with different length
posts. Choose the set that will provide the most
comfortable playing height.

If you use the V-100 pickup that is modified for the Concertmaster, unplug it and store the plug on the strings, between the
bridge and the tailpiece. (See illustration below.)

Slip the Concertmaster off the violin and move the microphone arm flat against the side of the shoulder rest. The
Concertmaster will fit inside the storage compartment of many violin cases.
