We are proud to offer you the nest acoustic amplication products available; high-quality professional-grade tools to empower you to sound your very best. We are condent Aura Spectrum DI will both enhance and inspire your music making.

Quick Start

Power Install a fresh 9V battery (not included) or connect a Fishman power adaptor. Set the controls Volume at minimum and all other controls as shown below. Plug in Use standard -inch and XLR shielded instrument cables. Tune up Step on the tuner footswitch to tune with the output muted. Set trim Play hard and adjust the input trim (on the right side) so the clip/batt LED ashes only occasionally. Select an Image Raise the volume and audition Images with the select knob. Move the Image Bank slider to choose the set of Images that best match the instrument youre playing. (see pages 6 thru 13) Blend to taste Turn left for more pickup and right for more Image. Kill feedback If feedback starts, change the position of the phase switch. For advanced feedback handling, check out the section detailing the automatic feedback lters on page 24.

What is Aura?

Aura Acoustic Imaging Technology uses digital algorithms developed in Fishmans audio laboratories to restore a studio-miked sound to an acoustic instrument. To achieve this, we record instruments using worldclass microphones and techniques to capture an Image of the natural sound that your acoustic instrument emits when miked in a professional studio. This Image, when recorded direct or played through an amp, mixer or PA, blends with your instruments pickup to produce an incredibly accurate recreation of the original recording. Aura Acoustic Imaging processors sound best when used with Fishman undersaddle pickups and magnetic soundhole pickups. When we record each instrument, we use our Acoustic Matrix undersaddle pickup. So, when you play through an Aura processor, youll get the best results using our Acoustic Matrix pickup. We do not recommend soundboard-mounted pickups, bridge-plate pickups, multi-sensor pickups or microphones for Aura products since they include unnecessary resonances that can interfere with the Aura processing.

Aura Custom Shop

For the ultimate in Aura Imaging, be sure to check out the Aura Custom Shop at shman.com. For a modest fee, you send us your instrument and well create a set of Images using our best microphones, custom recorded for you.

Aura Image Gallery

The Aura Image Gallery software manages a vast library of Images created from an ever-expanding list of instruments, and provides tools to search and store sets of Images. Browse the Image Library to nd your instrument, then drag and drop an Image into an Image Set for download into Aura Spectrum.

Making Connections

Playing live For the best sound reproduction when performing live, connect your Aura Spectrum to an acoustic instrument amp, a PA system, a powered monitor or other full-range system. The balanced XLR D.I. output eliminates an outboard D.I. and features an automatic ground lift when you use the 1/4 output, providing a high quality, noise free signal. Going direct For direct recording, there is no better solution than using Aura Spectrums balanced XLR D.I. or 1/4 output. In fact, an acoustic track recorded with just a pickup can be re-recorded using Aura to restore the miked sound.

Choosing an Image

To get the most realistic tone from Aura Acoustic Imaging, you should always match your Images with the instrument type youre playing. For example, choose dreadnought Images when plugging in a dreadnought body style guitar; choose mandolin Images if youre playing a mandolin. Dont hope to derive a mandolin sound from a dreadnought or try to turn your orchestra body style guitar into a 12-string. If you are not sure which body type your guitar falls into, we suggest you audition several Images from each bank and let your ears decide. See the following pages to help match your instrument with the best Aura Image.

About the Image Banks

Dreadnought Use this bank of Images with all varieties of the classic deep-body dreadnought. Jumbo Use these Images with large, deep-body instruments with slim waists and wide lower bouts (usually over 16).

Output Use a standard -inch instrument cable to connect the output to your amplier, mixer or effects devices. You can also connect this output to an unbalanced input on a recording system. Connecting a guitar cable here will also lift the ground on the XLR D.I. output, preventing unwanted ground loops. FX Loop This tip/ring/sleeve connection allows you to insert external devices, such as the Fishman AFX Acoustic Effects, between Aura Spectrums blended signal and the main outputs. Any pedals you connect here will appear at the 1/4 and XLR D.I. outputs. The overall output level will still be affected by Aura Spectrums volume control. 9VDC Power may be supplied by either a 9V battery (battery compartment underneath the pedal) or the Fishman 910-R (for 110V).
Trim Raise or lower the trim to optimize the input level for your pickup. Play hard and adjust trim so clip/batt ashes occasionally. Some pickup systems may not cause the light to ash at all and other onboard preamps may require you to turn their output down to achieve an optimum level. Phase Use the phase switch to improve bass response at low volume and suppress feedback at high volume. Move the phase switch and leave it in the position most pleasing to your ear. USB After installing Aura Image Gallery software, connect your computer here. Input Plug in your guitar here with a standard -inch instrument cable. If you have a passive undersaddle pickup (no battery onboard), always plug into the Aura Imaging Pedal rst, even if you use a pedal tuner. Insert a plug into the input jack, and the Aura Imaging Pedal powers up. To conserve the battery, remove the plug from the input when not in use.

Top Side Panel

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. outputs ground is automatically lifted to prevent any unwanted ground loops.

Front Panel Controls

Select The select knob allows you to choose among the 16 Images available for each of the eight different Image Banks. Move the select slider to choose a bank of Images that best match the style of instrument youre playing, then select through the 16 Images to nd the ones that sound best. Try all 16 within each bank and adjust the blend knob to obtain more or less character. Blend Position the blend knob straight-up at 12 oclock and youll hear a 50/50 mix of Image and pickup. Turn the blend all the way right for just Image; all the way left for just pickup. Most performers blend in some pickup with the Image for clarity and denition. Suggestions For live performance try backing off the Image by setting blend to about 10 or 11 oclock or about 65% pickup. You wont need too much Image blended in to achieve a great live sound. If feedback occurs, ip the phase switch. For recording, try blending in more Image for a realistic acoustic sound. Set the blend to taste. Again, youll often get good results with a little bit of pickup blended in with the Image for clarity and denition.

more pickup more Image

Volume The volume control affects the overall output level coming from both the 1/4 and the XLR D.I outputs. For the cleanest signal, set the volume as high as possible without clipping the next device in the signal chain. If you hear distortion and the clip/batt light is not ashing, reduce the volume.
Front Panel Controls (contd)
Pickup EQ: Low, Mid, High As a default, the low, mid, and high tone controls affect the sound of the pickup signal only, allowing you to further rene the sound of your instrument without excessive alterations to the chosen Image. A Global EQ mode may also be selected, applying the same EQ settings to both the pickup and Image path simultaneously. Global vs. Pickup EQ When shipped from our factory, the low, mid, and high tone controls are set to affect the sound of the pickup signal only. This is referred to as Pickup EQ mode. However, a Global EQ mode may also be selected which applies the same EQ settings to both the pickup and Image signals simultaneously (or globally). When you power on Aura Spectrum, watch the tuner display for a P or a G indicating the currently selected mode.

To select Global EQ mode:
1. Hold the tuner button while Powering on. 2. The display ashes a P indicating that the unit is currently in Pickup EQ mode. 3. Press the anti-feedback button once and the display now ashes a G indicating Global EQ mode is now selected. 4. Press the tuner button to select Global EQ and resume powering on to normal playing mode. Compressor The compressor control adjusts several settings within a sophisticated automatic leveling circuit.
more dynamics less dynamic
To return to Pickup EQ mode:
1. Hold the tuner button while Powering on. 2. The display ashes a G indicating that the unit is currently in Global EQ mode. 3. Press the anti-feedback button once and the display now ashes a P indicating Pickup EQ mode is now selected. 4. Press tuner button to select Pickup EQ and resume powering on to normal playing mode.
As you turn this knob clockwise, your overall playing dynamics become increasingly limited, making softer notes louder and controlling loud spikes in your playing. This can be helpful in performances where you desire a more even level to your playing. At its maximum setting, there may be some overall increase in the output level.

an E played very at

an A# played in-tune
a B played slightly sharp
T uner Footswitch Step on the tuner footswitch to enable the digital chromatic tuner. Youll know its active when the white Aura LED goes dark and the tuning fork in the center display is lit red. As a default, Aura Spectrums output is muted allowing you to tune silently. To tune, play a note lightly and watch the display. The note name will be indicated as a single letter and a small # sign will be lit whenever the displayed note is raised one half step. The note being sharp, at, or in-tune will be displayed using the ve multi-colored LEDs in the tuner window and below the tuning note. When there is no audio input, or youre not playing, a will appear in the display. This digital chromatic tuner accommodates all standard and alternate tunings and is calibrated to A = 440.
Tuner Option When shipped from the factory, the audio output is muted when the tuner is engaged. Alternately, you have the option to use the tuner without muting your output. To choose this option, hold the footswitch down until the Aura LED ashes. Repeat to return to the factory state. Bypass mode Aura Spectrum allows you completely bypass the Image, EQ, and Compressor processing. To enter bypass mode, press both the anti-feedback and tuner switches together. The white Aura LED will alternate slowly with the tuner LED to indicate bypass mode is active. To exit bypass mode, press both foot switches again. With bypass active, all controls including the tuner are functional, however you will not hear any of the changes until you exit bypass.

Anti-Feedback Footswitch Use this search-and-destroy anti-feedback lter in addition to the phase switch to control feedback during a performance. Aura Spectrums automatic anti-feedback lter can apply up to three separate notch lters, which are essentially very precise tone controls that reduce only a small piece of the audio band. When activated, the lter determines where the offending resonances are and only reduces the frequencies on which they are centered. While the anti-feedback control is very effective, its best if you spend some time while setting up before a performance and catch any issues before you begin to play. With some practice, youll nd you can also use it to x any resonant notes that may stand out in a particular venue. Using the automatic anti-feedback control: 1. Press and hold anti-feedback footswitch for 2 seconds. The tuner display will ash a 1 to indicate it is searching for the rst feedback. 2. Turn up your volume, then either dampen the strings while tapping the body or play the troublesome note until the feedback begins. The lter will automatically identify and eliminate the feedback. The 1 in the display will light solid as will the A-F indicator. 3. At this point, you may continue to turn up your volume as in step 2 to catch up to two more problematic resonances. Each is indicated via a ashing 2 or 3 during the search, turning to solid lit numerals when the resonance has been identied. 4. You may tap the anti-feedback footswitch at any time to cancel the search. The circuit will hold the offending frequenc(ies) in memory until you repeat the process again. You may also turn the lter on or off at any time by tapping the footswitch. When enabled, the A-F lights to indicate the lters are active and the number of lters being applied will be briey displayed.
About Phase and Anti-Feedback There are two features provided to help control acoustic feedback, the phase switch and the anti-feedback control. Feedback usually occurs in the lowest octaves of your instrument. The natural resonances which produce an instruments tone also react with amplied sound. The louder an instrument is amplied, the more it will interact. Feedback occurs when a note on the instrument resonates in sync with the amplied sound, reinforcing and building to a sustained howl. The phase switch ips the polarity of your instrument signal from positive to negative, changing its relationship to the sound coming from the amplier. One phase setting usually provides better resistance to feedback than the other and will vary depending on the instrument and playing environment. Another approach to determining optimal phase is the selection which sounds or feels most natural when playing. The phase switch also affects the signal polarity to the balanced XLR D.I. and 1/4 inch outputs, synchronizing the amplier with other sound systems in use. In certain playing environments the phase switch may not have an audible impact. The anti-feedback control is an automatic variable frequency notch lter designed to subdue a resonant peak on the instrument which is prone to feedback. Check out page 24 for more exact details of its operation.

Downloading Images

The Aura Image Gallery software manages a vast library of Images created from an ever-expanding list of instruments, and provides tools to search and store sets of Images. If you cant nd your exact instrument in the list, use the built-in Image Wizard to nd the closest match. For example, if one of our hundreds of Images doesnt match your instrument exactly, you can still nd a great sounding Image by matching similar tone woods and body styles. Experiment with these tools, and use your ears to determine what sounds best for your playing or musical style. To access this library of additional instrument Images, install the Aura Image Gallery on your computer. Then, gently remove the USB cover from the right side of the unit and connect the included USB cable to the side of the preamp and your computer. Create a new Image Set and load your Images into Aura Spectrum Be sure to install the Aura Image Gallery software prior to connecting Aura Spectrum for the rst time.

Battery Replacement

The clip/batt indicator will light steadily when it is time to change the battery. Open the battery door underneath the pedal and install a fresh 9V alkaline or lithium battery. When the clip/batt LED comes on you have approximately one hour of remaining battery life.

Called dobros matchless contemporary master, by The New York Times and lauded as my favorite musician by no less than rock legend John Fogerty, Jerry Douglas could have been a musical innovator on any number of instruments. However, as a teenager, Douglas adopted the then relatively obscure and unexplored Dobro, and that decision has helped him carve out a unique place in American music. By discovering the capabilities of this expressive instrument during a period of intense creativity in acoustic music, Douglas has wielded incalculable influence on bluegrass and its many related genres. His transcendent technique and passionate musicality have helped him net twelve Grammy Awards and numerous International Bluegrass Music Association awards. Douglas holds the distinction of being named Musician of the Year by The Country Music Association (2002, 2005, 2007), The Academy of Country Music (ten times), and The Americana Music Association (2002, 2003). In June 2004, the National Endowment for the Arts honored Douglas with a National Heritage Fellowship, recognizing his artistic excellence and contribution to the nations traditional arts.

aturally I turned to Fishman when I needed to get my acoustic rig N together for the Live Your Voice Tour with Halfway To Hazard.

220 Watts of clean, lightweight power drives a line array of six custom high-excursion speakers and a soft dome tweeter. This unique combination delivers incredibly full sound, ultra-wide dispersion, and deeper sonic penetration than the common speaker cabinet. Better yet, the enhanced bass response of the custom-designed speakers means theres no need for a subwoofer! Its a P.A., and an Amp. With the SA220, the performer and audience hear exactly the same sound, meaning theres no need for separate wedge monitors or a combo amp backline. And because the SA220 is voiced for the singer/songwriter, acoustic instruments and vocals are projected with superb depth and clarity. The Ultimate in Portability SA220 weighs only 25lbs, ships complete with a padded bag equipped with wheels, and includes a rugged speaker stand. Set up takes less than a minute, with only one trip to the car! And universal power means the SA220 is ready to travel anywhere in the world.

But we didnt design the SA220 to be this portable by scaling back on features or tone. In fact, weve included all of the award-winning elements of our Loudbox family, and added a unique Monitor feature designed to revolutionize an acoustic duos ability to hear each other on stage. SA220 is also equipped with two mic/instrument channels featuring high-quality preamps, each with 3-band EQ, phantom power, built-in reverb, effects loop, and feedback-fighting notch filter and phase controls.

Strings. We love them all.
Amplified strings show up everywhere. From Broadway to live television events, jazz clubs, symphonic halls, film scoring studios and town hall hoedowns, the challenge is always the same. How do you preserve the beautiful warm wood tones of these acoustic instruments once you turn up the volume on stage? Of course your instruments natural timbre is made up of a distinctive balance of resonant wood and vibrating strings pushing the air. So what is the one pickup that could faithfully preserve that unique sound among a wide range of stringed instruments, the one pickup that could handle those violin highs and cello lows? Answer? There isnt one. Thats why we have researched and created specific pickups for each different kind of acoustic stringed instrument. Larry Fishman, a dedicated double bassist himself, started it all with the easily installed BP-100, which was all about handling his upright bass powerful, low frequency tones. (Its still the choice among professionals almost thirty years after its release, along with its successor, the Full Circle). And our new top-of-the-line Concert Series pickups are a result of our devotion to the differences between violins and violas and cellos and about a billion* hours in the lab. Most exciting is that this new series is designed to take advantage of our Aura Acoustic Imaging technology.
*May be a slight exaggeration
basically torture my violins and pickups I when Im on stage. The V-300 Concert Series Pickup takes the abuse better than any pickup Ive ever used. It sounds warm and precise night after night, and thats why it has become an integral part of my tone.
