Suggested Tips

•The faster you dispense the more backoff you will need. That’s because the speed at which the piston is traveling exceeds the flow rate of the material out of the dispense tip. Therefore, creating internal pressure. More reverse motion is required to get the internal reservoir pressure back to zero. We recommend you start with a slow rate and progress from there.

•The LDS9000 positively displaces fluids. That means if you program

.02cc’s of fluid, you will get .02cc’s out of a very small tip or a large tip. The only difference is trying to force the fluid through a very small tip will take twice as long. We recommend you increase the fluid flow by using our FreeFlowTM tapered tip.

•A change in the dispense rate will change your deposit size. When the piston moves forward it often exceeds the flow rate of the fluid, thus creating pressure buildup. The best way to rapidly relieve that pressure is to apply reverse motion. When the dispense rate is doubled the fluid has half the time to flow before reverse motion, therefore the deposit size becomes smaller. Conversely, when the dispense rate is cut in half the fluid has twice the time to flow before reverse motion, therefore the deposit size becomes larger. The only way to maintain the same deposit size at all speeds is to adjust all parameters.

First Shot Set Up

•Follow the steps listed in the LDS9000 Rapid Setup Guide. We recommend you work with the Fishman test fluid provided in your dispenser to establish the first deposit.

•When priming your dispense tip watch how long the fluid flows out of the tip. Little to no ooze, start with a minimum amount of backoff (1-10 steps). Lots of ooze, start with a higher amount of backoff (10-25 steps) and adjust from there.

•Start with a slow dispense rate and adjust your dispense volume and backoff until you achieve the right size deposit. Once your deposit is stabilized try adjusting the speed to your liking, watch the effect on your deposit. Return to volume and backoff to tweak the deposit size. Always allow the deposit to stabilize via 5 or 6 dispenses before making the next adjustment.

LDS9000 specifications

The Fishman LDS9000 is a premium acoustic guitar pickup system that has garnered significant attention among musicians and sound engineers alike. This state-of-the-art system offers a range of features that enhance sound quality and control, making it a preferred choice for both live performances and studio recordings.

One of the standout features of the LDS9000 is its advanced under-saddle piezo pickup technology. This design minimizes feedback and maximizes tonal clarity, allowing for a more natural acoustic sound. The sensitivity of the piezo pickups captures the subtleties of each note, resulting in a rich, vibrant tone that resonates beautifully through amplifiers and PA systems.

The LDS9000 also incorporates a high-quality preamp, which amplifies the signal without introducing noise. This preamp offers a variety of controls, including volume, tone, and phase switch, giving players the ability to shape their sound in real-time. The phase switch is particularly valuable for live settings, as it helps eliminate feedback issues by reversing the phase of the signal.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Fishman LDS9000 is its ease of installation. The system is designed to be user-friendly, allowing guitarists to install it without extensive modifications to their instrument. This makes it an ideal choice for both amateur and professional musicians who want to upgrade their sound without sacrificing their guitar's integrity.

Durability is a hallmark of the LDS9000, as it is built with robust materials designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use. The system's components are weather-resistant, ensuring reliability even in humid or extreme environments. This durability, combined with Fishman's reputation for quality, makes the LDS9000 a long-term investment for musicians looking to enhance their acoustic sound.

In summary, the Fishman LDS9000 offers an unparalleled blend of sound quality, ease of use, and durability. Its advanced piezo technology, high-quality preamp, and user-friendly installation make it a top choice for musicians seeking to elevate their acoustic performances. With the LDS9000, artists can confidently deliver a professional sound that truly reflects their musical vision. Whether on stage or in the studio, this pickup system is an essential tool for any serious acoustic guitarist.
