PLATINUM PRO EQ

www.ﬁshman.com

Welcome

Thank you for making Fishman a part of your acoustic experience. We

are proud to offer you the nest acoustic amplication products avail-

able; high-quality professional-grade tools to empower you to sound your

very best. We are condent that Platinum Pro EQ 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. When using Platinum Pro EQ with bass instruments, set the EQ

Mode to bass. Set EQ Mode to guitar for all other instruments.

Plug in – Use standard ¼-inch and XLR shielded instrument cables.

Set trim – Play hard and adjust the input trim (on the right side) so the

level LED ashes only occasionally.

Tune up – Step on the tuner footswitch to tune with the output muted.

Kill feedback – If feedback starts, change the position of the phase

switch. If feedback persists, set the notch switch to in and slowly rotate

the notch knob to “dial out” the feedback.

Making Connections

Playing live

For the best sound reproduction when performing live, connect to an

acoustic instrument amp, PA system, powered monitor or other full-range

audio system. The balanced XLR D.I. output eliminates an outboard D.I.,

providing a high quality, noise free signal.

Going direct

For direct recording, there is no better solution than using Platinum Pro

EQ’s balanced XLR D.I. or 1/4” output.

Front Panel Controls

Volume & Level

The volume control affects the overall output level coming from the 1/4”

output; the XLR D.I. output is always at a xed level to prevent unwanted

gain changes at the F.O.H. mixer. For the cleanest signal, set the volume

as high as possible without clipping the next device in the signal chain.

The level LED monitors distortion at many points in the signal chain. If it

lights frequently, reduce the input trim control on the right side of the

device.

Compressor

As you turn this knob clockwise, your overall playing dynamics become in-

creasingly 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.

The compressor control adjusts the threshold of

the automatic leveling circuit that follows the

preamp section. The compression ratio, attack

time, and release time are xed.

The active LED monitors the strength of the compressor circuit:

•The LED lights green when the signal reaches compression threshold.

•The LED lights yellow when the signal over threshold is being reduced

as much as 6dB.

EQ Mode

Platinum Pro EQ’s EQ Mode switch offers tone shaping exibility not

commonly found in an instrument preamp.

•When this control is set to guitar, the tone controls are voiced to be

most useful for recording or amplifying acoustic guitar and most other

instruments.

•When this control is set to bass, the tone controls are adjusted to be

most suitable for recording or amplifying acoustic and electric bass.

Tone Controls

Low Cut: a variable high-pass lter, labeled low cut, can be used to

remove sub-sonic frequencies present in some passive pickups.

Bass: A boost here will add depth and weight to the sound of an instru-

ment with light bass response. Cut the bass a few dB to tighten up the

big boomy tone of a dreadnought or jumbo guitar.

Middle: Two controls (level and frequency) make up this EQ circuit.

The frequency control lets you tune in on a specic mid-frequency

range which you can boost or cut with the middle control.

Treble: A boost here will help to “cut through the mix.” Conversely, cut-

ting the Treble will mellow and subdue your amplied tone.

Brilliance: This control can add shimmer and sparkle to your sound or

reduce excessive nger noise and fret buzz.

Front Panel Controls

Notch & Phase

These controls work to suppress two adjacent

ranges of acoustic feedback. We use guitar

as an example, but the Notch lter and Phase

switch are compatible with all acoustic instru-

ments.

The notch control is a variable frequency notch

lter designed to subdue a resonant peak on

the instrument which is prone to feedback.

Turning the control adjusts the center frequency

of the lter, ranging from 45Hz to 1kHz at full

clockwise. Turn the control to “dial out” the of-

fending frequency.

The in/out switch can be used to bypass the

notch lter altogether.

The phase switch ips the polarity of your instrument signal from posi-

tive to negative, changing its relationship to the sound coming from the

amplier. One phase setting usually provides better resistance to feed-

back than the other and will vary depending on the instrument and play-

ing environment. Another approach to determining optimal phase is the

selection which sounds or feels most natural when playing.

In certain playing environments the Phase switch may not have an audible

impact.

Boost

The boost foot switch creates an increase in volume only when the LED

above the foot switch is lit. The range of volume boost can be set from

3dB to 12dB using the boost level control found on the right side

panel.

Tuner

Platinum Pro EQ features an integrated digital tuner with selectable tun-

ing modes and reference tuning frequency adjustment. To activate the

tuner, press the tuner foot switch: the tuner LED will light and the audio

outputs will be muted.

Tune mode: ve tuning modes are available: fully-chromatic, ukulele,

bass, guitar, violin. When in these modes, the display will indicate string

number as well as degree of tune.

Tune ref.: pressing this button changes the reference tuning frequency

for situations that do not call for an A note reference of 440Hz.

Battery

The battery 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 battery LED comes on you have

approximately one hour of remaining battery life.

Amp Output

Use a standard ¼-inch instrument cable to connect the amp output to

your amplier, mixer or effect devices. You can also connect this output to

an unbalanced input on a recording system.

FX Loop

The 1/4 inch effect send and effect return jacks allow you to insert

external devices into the signal chain just prior to the 1/4” and XLR D.I.

outputs. The overall output level will still be affected by the volume

control.
