V-200 PROFESSIONAL
Thank you for your purchase of a FISHMAN product. Please read these instructions carefully. If you have any questions or problems, contact our PRODUCT INFORMATION LINE at 508-988-9665.
The FISHMAN V-200 is the finest piezoelectric violin transducer avail- able. It’s design is based on that of the FISHMAN V-100 with the added benefits of the CARPENTER 1/4" Output Jack.
The V-200 is a bridge mounted, piezo-ceramic pickup. It senses string vibrations via a single piezo element, fastened to the instrument's wing slot with a patented floating mount.
The V-200 installs in minutes, with only minor alterations required. Its low mass minimizes any damping or muting that could affect the instru- ment's acoustic tone. The V-200 provides a natural, acoustic sound for arco or pizz playing styles.
The CARPENTER JACK was designed by noted repairman Fred Carpenter. This professional-quality 1/4" violin pickup jack, molded into an attractive housing, attaches to the lower bout with chinrest hardware. It makes a perfect mounting point for adding a microphone and does not affect the instrument’s acoustic tone. It also makes it easy to use a cable with a right angle plug. The CARPENTER JACK has become extremely popular with many of today’s finest touring and session musicians.
