1 XLR Out
Connect this balanced -4dBu level output to the input of your PA system, recording console, or to a microphone input on a portable
amplifier. The Sound Image/pickup mix gets routed through this output.
2 Gnd/Lft
Move the Gnd/Lft switch to the “Lft” position to eliminate the ground loop hum that can occur when you use the XLR and (1/4”)
Outputs together.
3 Output
Plug this unbalanced -10dBu output to your stage amplifier or an unbalanced mixer input. The Aura will sound best when you plug
in to an acoustic instrument amplifier (like the Fishman Loudbox™), a full range keyboard amplifier, or a PA System.
4 Input
Connect your instrument to the Aura Input with a standard shielded cable.
Input Requirements
Use a so-called “string-sensitive” pickup on your instrument. For acoustic guitar this means an undersaddle pickup or a magnetic soundhole
pickup. The Aura will not perform well with soundboard type pickups, such as the Fishman SBT or any other pickup that locates on the
soundboard, away from the bridge. If your pickup system has a microphone, turn it off.
5 9VDC
Connect only with a regulated 9 Volt, 200mA AC adapter. Plug in the 9VDC input to turn the Aura on; there
is no on/off switch. A Fishman 910-R AC adapter is included with all units sold in the USA. If you
purchased the Aura outside the USA, you must supply your own AC adapter. We recommend the Roland
PSA Series or a comparable equivalent.
6 MIDI In
Through this input you can transfer Sound Image data to your Aura from an ever-expanding library at the Fishman Aura website.
Go to www.fishmanaura.com for additional information.
MIDI Requirements
To transfer Sound Image data from your computer to the Aura, you’ll need a MIDI compatible cable.
If your computer has a 15-pin MIDI/Joystick port, then you’ll need a compatible cable with a male 15-pin connector on one end and a MIDI out
connector at the other end. This cable typically will have a second MIDI in and female 15-pin connector that goes unused. We Recommend the
Voyetra MIDI Cable Pack.
If your computer has a USB port, you’ll need a USB to MIDI adapter. This cable may have a second MIDI in connector that goes unused. We
recommend the cable that is sold with the Voyetra Music Studio Kit.
