Why is there no sound coming from my Fishman ACOUSTIC IMAGING AURA - 1 Blender or is it not loud enough?
Several factors could be at play. First, ensure that all connections to other devices are correctly made. Second, check if the input and output levels are set too low, and if so, raise them. Finally, verify whether the tuner is engaged; if it is, disengage it or step on the Down footswitch to un-mute the tuner.
What to do if my Fishman Blender has distortion?
If you're hearing distortion, the input level might be too high. Try turning down the input level until the red LED stops flickering.
What to do if my Fishman Blender's tuner will not engage?
If the tuner isn't engaging, first, make sure the Aura is in Play mode by moving the Edit/Play switch to 'Play'. Also, check if the input level is too low and raise it if necessary.
Why does my Fishman ACOUSTIC IMAGING AURA - 1 sound thin or have weak bass?
A thin sound or weak bass could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the pickup and Sound Image signals might be out of phase. To correct this, switch to Edit mode, select the Phase parameter, and turn the Data knob clockwise then counterclockwise to choose the pickup phase that complements the Sound Image. Also, ensure that the Sound Image is turned on by pushing the Effect On/Off button so the LED above it lights up. If it's still not working, switch to Edit mode and choose the Select parameter. Select a Sound Image with the Data knob (the prompt “oF” in the display means that no Sound Image is currently in that program location).
Why does my Fishman Blender sound uneven or muddled?
An uneven or muddled response could be due to a mismatch between the Sound Image and your instrument's body style. Select a Sound Image that better matches your instrument. Also, verify if your pickup matches the sampled pickup in the Sound Image by checking the Stock Sound Image chart to find a Sound Image compatible with your pickup (either undersaddle or magnetic soundhole pickup). Finally, ensure you are using an undersaddle pickup or a magnetic soundhole pickup, as soundboard pickups or microphones are not suitable.
Why do I hear hiss from my Fishman ACOUSTIC IMAGING AURA - 1?
If you're hearing hiss, the input level might be too low. Raise the input level until the Green LED flashes regularly and the red LED does not flash at all.
Why do I hear hum through the speakers of my Fishman Blender?
If you hear hum through the speakers when using both the 1/4” and XLR outputs, move the Gnd/Lft switch to the “Lft” position.
Why do I hear only pickup and no Sound Image on my Fishman ACOUSTIC IMAGING AURA - 1?
