Featured for the Pro Blend is the acclaimed Acoustic Matrix under-saddle pickup. It
delivers a clear, articulate sound with emphasis on string definition and attack. To
compliment and contrast this pickup, a miniature electret microphone (mounted to
the underside of the preamp chassis) captures the guitar's elusive natural ambi-
ence and sound chamber resonance. Blend the pickup and Microphone together for
a powerful and cohesive acoustic guitar tone that is deeper and more "filled out",
than the sound of either the microphone or pickup alone.

The Prefix Pro Blend preamp module incorporates a unique flip-top battery compart-
ment for easy access. Levels are set by the master volume and blend controls.
Traditional shelving-style bass & treble, plus a semi-parametric "Contour" EQ are
included so you can shape your guitar's tone exactly to taste. To complete the
package, we include a phase switch and an adjustable notch filter, both essential for
fighting feedback.

The system's under-saddle pickup is the industry standard Fishman Acoustic
Matrix. It is made with Fishman's exclusive co-polymer sensing material. This pro-
prietary material reproduces your acoustic guitar sound with a sensitivity and
dynamic range that surpasses all other known materials (including piezo-ceramic
and so called "piezo-film" pickups).
