MAGNETIC ACOUSTIC GUITAR SOUNDHOLE PICKUP

Thank you for purchasing the Fishman Neo-D pickup. If
you have any questions or comments, you may reach our
customer service department E-mail us at
[email protected] or by phone at 978-988-9665.
DESCRIPTION
The Neo-D is a passive magnetic soundhole pickup designed to fit most
steel-string, flat-top guitars. The natural sound of your guitar is reproduced
by the Neo-D thanks to a state-of-the-art magnetic field/coil structure
similar to our acclaimed Rare Earth soundhole pickup. A unique
arrangement of neodymium magnets is responsible for the Neo-D's
excellent string balance. The pickup is specifically voiced for instruments
with bronze or phosphor bronze strings.
SET UP
Loosen the clamps with a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Position the pickup in the
soundhole, parallel to and as close to the end of the fingerboard as
possible. Gently re-tighten the clamps. Run the cable out through the
soundhole. The jaws of the clamps are lined with natural cork, which will
not interact with the guitar's finish.

MAGNETIC ACOUSTIC GUITAR SOUNDHOLE PICKUP

Be careful not over tighten the clamps! Doing so may in some cases
perforate the finish under the clamps.
If you plan to travel with your guitar or store it in its case for long periods,
we recommend that you remove the Neo-D pickup to avoid damage
WARNING!
• If you store the guitar with the pickup in place and the cable comes to
rest on the soundboard, the rubber jacket may interact with the finish
and leave a permanent mark.
• If you leave the pickup on the instrument during transit, it may become
dislodged and could damage the guitar.
Since the Neo-D is a single-coil pickup, it may reproduce hum that
originates from strong electromagnetic sources. For the best performance,
keep the pickup away from computer monitors, transformers, florescent
light fixtures and other potential sources of hum.
AMPLIFICATION
You can plug the Neo-D directly into most musical instrument amplifiers,
but for the most natural sound reproduction, we strongly recommended a
full range system, such as a high-quality acoustic instrument amp or PA
system. When you plug the Neo-D into a PA system, use an impedance-
matching outboard preamp or direct box for the best sound reproduction.
