BATTERY LOW SWITCH / INDICATOR
With the STEREO IN jack plugged in, push this switch IN to check your battery.
If the LED lights up when you push the switch in, you should replace your battery.
HEADPHONES OUTPUT
This sends a line-level mixed signal to 32
Ω
headphones or a power amp input.
This is the BLENDER’s only line level output.
This output will send a mono mixed signal to a pair of headphones. The signal is not a stereo image,
but a composite of the MICROPHONE and TRANSDUCER Channels appearing in both the left and right channels
of your headphones.
The signal produced is powerful enough to drive many power amps. To drive a power amp, split the signal
with a Stereo Y Cable (available from Fishman). Send either (or both) of the mono outputs to your
power amp input(s).
DO NOT insert a mono plug into the Phones jack. It will short out the headphone amplifier circuit.
MUTE SWITCH
Shuts off all signals to the main outputs of the BLENDER and allows you to disconnect your cable from the
BLENDER or from your instrument silently.
It does not affect the Phones jack or the Effects Sends. You may connect an electronic tuner to the TRANSDUCER
Effects Send and tune your instrument in silence with the Mute switch in.
DURING BATTERY OPERATION:
Under battery power, the Mute switch does NOT silence the harmful turn on/off transients that occur when
plugging in and unplugging the STEREO IN jack.
• Always plug into the STEREO IN jack before turning on your amplifier or PA System.
• Always unplug the STEREO IN jack after turning off your amplifier or PA System.
• When changing instruments, always unplug the cable at the instrument’s output jack,
not at the BLENDER’s STEREO IN jack.
NOTE: The Mute switch does not normally affect the Phones jack. Should you want to have the Mute affect the
Phones jack, the BLENDER can be modified by Fishman or by a qualified technician.
OUTPUT LEVEL
Controls the overall volume of the TRANSDUCER, MICROPHONE and MIX outputs as well as the MIX Effects Send.
This does not affect the MICROPHONE or TRANSDUCER Effects Sends.
