The PowerTap Infinity pickup system from the new Fishman Acoustic PowerTap™ series is a game - changer. It combines the top - notch performance and rich tone of the Matrix Infinity undersaddle pickup system with a brand - new soundboard body sensor. This gives guitarists of all styles access to a whole new world of percussive performance and tactile dynamics. With the Tap pickup technology, players can introduce new performance elements like Touch, Ambience, and Percussion. The Blend control, which is easy to adjust, can mix the Rare Earth and Tap signals in mono. Or, you can use a stereo cable to send both signals to separate channels. This allows you to add individual effects, control levels, and adjust EQ for each pickup, creating a stunning soundscape from a single guitar. The redesigned, sealed enclosure for the soundhole - mounted Volume and Tone control module makes it a breeze to tweak your sound. The relocated and easily accessible voicing switch on the preamp lets you adapt to different guitars, amplification setups, playing styles, and performance scenarios. Specifications: Width: 3/32” (2.3mm); Undersaddle Pickup: Standard length of 2.65” (67.3 mm) fits most guitars with 2.5” (63.5 mm) string spacings; Body Sensor Pickup: Dimensions are 2.54” (64.4 mm) wide by .68” (17.3mm) high; Battery: 9 - volt.
Using the Fishman PowerTap Infinity pickup system is straightforward. First, make sure your guitar has the right string spacing (the undersaddle pickup fits most guitars with 2.5 - inch string spacings). Install the undersaddle pickup and the body sensor as per the included instructions. Once installed, turn on the 9 - volt battery. You can adjust the Blend control to mix the signals from the Rare Earth and Tap pickups. You can use it in mono or connect it with a stereo cable to separate channels for more control. To fine - tune your sound, use the Volume and Tone control module in the soundhole. The voicing switch helps you adapt to different guitars and playing situations. When it comes to maintenance, keep the system clean. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're not using it for a long time, remove the battery to prevent leakage. And if you have any issues, check the connections first before seeking further help.
