Product Description
Fishman's Rare Earth Blend merges the humbucking Rare Earth pickup with a excellent internally mounted microphone for a "best of both worlds" approach to acoustic guitar amplification. The microphone is a mini hypercardioid electret for high volume and low feedback performance. The system combines the percussive attack and controlled sustain of the magnetic pickup with the resonant, ambient qualities captured by an internal microphone. Neodymium (a rare earth element, hence the name Rare Earth pickup) magnets provide excellent string-to-string balance, while the discrete circuitry keeps the Rare Earth's signal pure and clean.

Fishman Rare Earth Blend Pickup Reviews
| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Amazing Device, By This review is from: Fishman Rare Earth Blend Pickup (Electronics) This is the best acoustic pickup/mic I have ever used, in 20 years of using electronics. I have used soundhole pickups, under-saddle pickups (which I hate as they never sound like a real guitar). Previously I was using an internal gooseneck condenser mic with adequate results, but found the sound a bit thin when i used effects. Using a Taylor 510, in a huge church through a mixer into the PA system. Switching to the Fishman was like night and day; was able to dial a blend easily to give my sound some nice full bottom without sacrificing treble. I also found that when i used effects, dialing to the magnetic pickup gave better results. A previous reviewer complained about the mic position; I find it is in an optimal position and have not felt the need to move it; in fact my old gooseneck was annoying because it would eventually drift into a position that was either too much bass or too much treble. I have never felt the need to move the Fishman mic at all.I decided to retire my...

I am also a sound engineer and a producer, and am extremely critical about sound overall, specifically critical about acoustic instrument's sound. I have found that most acoustic guitars with pickups sound terribly artificial, so the past 2 guitars I have bought have been Martins with no pickups. About a year ago I began playing in a band and needed to amplify my steel string, so after researching a bit I decided on this pickup. I was especially drawn by this pickup's ability to blend both a mic and a magnetic pick up. It brings out the best of my instrument. I like to set the knob to halfway between both, which gives me a very natural, beautiful sound. When feedback becomes an issue with the mic, I simply turn the knob to magnetic pick up, and still the guitar sounds beautiful.The goose neck does move out of place, but only when moving the guitar from place to place. I haven't found this...

I thought well, this will be great to be able to adjust the mic portion of the pick-up. Silly me!!! The flexible shaft of the mic just LIMPLY sags and will not stay where you position it. You would think Fishman (making such good pick-ups) would have made a more sturdy flexible shaft.Got it today----going back today. |
