Fluence Custom Series Matt Heafy – Connection Points & Functions
1. Voice-2 Select - To select Voice-2, connect this pin either to ground through a
switch contact, or permanently by soldering it to any ground or by using one of the
included jumpers across the pins. This pin is an electronically controlled switch and
has no signal on it. It can share a switch contact with other voice select wires without
interaction. Note: the Single Coil / Voice-3 select pin (2) overrides Voice-2 select.
Therefore, the Voice-3 pin must be disconnected (not grounded) to allow Voice-2
selection.
2. Single Coil / Voice-3 Select Wire - To select Voice-3, connect this pin to ground
through a switch contact. In Single Coil mode, the default active coils are the inner
ones when used as a Bridge/ Neck pair. (i.e. neck side coil active on Bridge pickup
and bridge side coil active on Neck) See Note (4) to change default active coils in
Single Coil mode. When selected, Single Coil / Voice-3 mode overrides the selec-
tion status of Voice-1 or 2.
3. V1 Lo Gain - Reduces the output of Voice-1 by 6dB. To activate, connect this pin
to ground. For full time (always on) activation, bridge the corresponding solder
pads or install the provided jumper across header pins 5 & 6 (see wiring diagram).
To activate selectively, use cable assembly ACC-FLU-WR5 or ACC-FLU-WR6 (sold
separately) connected to a switch. Either of these cable assemblies are available at
Fishmanstore.com. This pin is an electronically controlled switch and can share a
switch contact with similar control wires without interaction.
