Two included miniature batteries fit neatly under the pickup and can power it for up to 300 hours. There's also a convenient volume wheel on - board. The 'Rare Earth' name comes from the neodymium magnets, a rare - earth element, that give this active, double - coil magnetic soundhole pickup excellent sound quality and great string - to - string balance. This model also has a flexible cardioid microphone, and the mic/pickup blend control allows you to precisely adjust the sound at your fingertips.

Using this Fishman pickup is a breeze. First, you can self - install it on your acoustic guitar without making any changes to the guitar. If you want, you can mount the pre - wired output jack on the end - pin. Once it's installed, just plug it in and you're ready to play. The two included miniature batteries should be placed neatly on the underside of the pickup. They'll last up to 300 hours, but keep an eye on the power. You can control the volume with the wheel on the pickup. And use the mic/pickup blend control to get the sound you like. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pickup clean. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If the sound starts to degrade, check the batteries first. If they're fine, there might be an issue with the connection, so make sure everything is plugged in properly.
