OWNER’S MANUAL

Thank you for your purchase of a FISHMAN product. Please read these
instructions carefully. If you have any questions or problems, contact our
PRODUCT INFORMATION LINE at 978-988-9665.
AC POWER
The PRO-EQ is powered at all times when using an AC Adapter.
Always be
sure to use only the Fishman 910-R or Roland PSA Series AC Adapters!
Use of any other AC Adapter may cause permanent damage to the unit.
BATTERY POWER
To install the battery, unscrew the four corner screws and remove the back
of the case. Flip the battery lead outside of the case and connect a 9 volt
alkaline battery. Place the battery on the foam pad. Replace the back of the
case and securely fasten the four screws.
The AMP output jack of the PRO-EQ is the power switch for the battery.
When a cable is first plugged into this jack, the BATTERY/LOW LED will
flash momentarily to indicate that the power is on. When the battery power
is low, this LED will remain lit, indicating that you should replace the bat-
tery. To avoid battery drain, be sure to unplug the cable from the AMP jack
when it is not in use.
PHASE
Adjust the volume control of the PRO-EQ and your amplifier to the desired
level. Using your ears as a guide, set the PHASE switch for proper relation-
ship with the sound source (amps, monitors, etc.). The correct phase setting
will provide a tighter response with less tendency to feed back. This rela-
tionship is most audible at louder volumes and will change from room to
room and with your position on stage.
EQUALIZATION
The PRO-EQ features fully active BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE and BRIL-
LIANCE controls; allowing boost and cut. The BASS and TREBLE sliders
are shelving style controls and the MIDDLE and BRILLIANCE controls are
resonant style.

SUB-BASS CONTROL
On the back of the unit there is a recessed SUB-BASS con-
trol which is set flat at the factory. This feature can be used
to emphasize the amount of “bottom end” on small-bodied
guitars by turning it clockwise.
USER OPTIONS
For live performance, the enclosed belt clip may be attached to the back of
the unit with the two screws provided.The belt clip should not cover the
SUB-BASS control. For free-standing use, affix the adhesive-backed rubber
feet to the corners of the unit.
