1. Determine the rotary controls (Volume, Tone, etc.) and switches to be used in your
installation, including those included with your purchase. Test fit the components to
make sure that each will fit in the allocated locations or modify the instrument until the
fit is correct and all controls can be located without issue. Fishman Fluence Pickups are
active and require 25K audio taper potentiometers.
2. Fishman Fluence multi-voice pickups require a 9V power supply.
• If using a standard 9V battery, test fit cavity locations for simple installations or
consider installing an externally accessible battery compartment (available separately.)
Note that it is important the battery is not allowed to short contacts between controls
in the instrument.
• If using a separately purchased Fishman rechargeable battery, refer to those
instructions to complete this part of your installation.
• Note that it may be possible to combine other active pickups with Fishman Fluence
pickups, but all pickups will need to use the same 9V power source. Only active pickup
combinations are supported.
