You must use a cord with the appropriate plug configuration for the AC (mains) receptacles in the area in which you use it. If you are taking the Acoustic Monitor Pro overseas, check with your dealer regarding the appropriate cord and plug configuration, or contact Fishman Customer Service. IMPORTANT: When operating in the United States, always set the Voltage Selection switch for 115V using a 5 Amp Slow Blow Fuse. In Europe, set for 230V with a 2. 5 Amp Slow Blow Fuse. ON/OFF SWITCH The Acoustic Monitor Pro's On/Off Switch has a "I" symbol for on and a "0" symbol for off. Always turn the Acoustic Monitor Pro off before unplugging it. AC POWER RECEPTACLE Plug your AC (mains) power cord into this receptacle and the other end into a grounded outlet. Do not cut off the grounding pin, and never use a 3-pin-to-2pin adapter unless you ground the adapter's grounding tab. If you use an extension cord, always use a heavy-duty cord that is no longer than necessary. NOTE: If your AC (mains) cord is ever damaged or lost, replace it only with the same type. CHANGING THE FUSE The Fuse Holder is located to the left of the AC Receptacle (See Page 3, Item #9). Insert a small screwdriver into the small notch on the side of the Fuse Holder to remove it from the AC Receptacle. After replacing the fuse, slide the Fuse Holder all the way into the Back Panel until it snaps into place. ACOUSTIC MONITOR PRO OWNER'S MANUAL 7 A C O U S T I C M O N I T O R P R O INTERFACING THE ACOUSTIC MONITOR PRO WITH OTHER GEAR 1) PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT: The Acoustic Monitor Pro has a 1/4" input jack that will accept line-level signals. However, a preamp or equalizer is recommended (such as the Fishman Acoustic Blender, Model G, Pro-EQ or Dual Parametric D. I. ) for better control of your sound. 2) USING THE OUTPUTS: The Acoustic Monitor Pro can send a signal via the Balanced XLR OUT to a mixing board, recording console or to the Balanced XLR IN of an additional Acoustic Monitor Pro. It is best for sending a signal to batterypowered devices such as electronic tuners or portable tape recorders. 8 A C O U S T I C M O N I T O R P R O 3) INTERFACING WITH THE ACOUSTIC PERFORMER PRO: The Acoustic Monitor Pro is the perfect companion to FISHMAN's Acoustic Performer Pro amplifier. When using an Acoustic Performer Pro you may want to send your signal to an Acoustic Monitor Pro for additional sound reinforcement. You can do this by connecting one of the Balanced XLR Sends of the Performer to the Balanced XLR IN of the Monitor. You can also send a Balanced signal from the Monitor's XLR OUT to a Mixing Board or PA System. POSITIONING THE ACOUSTIC MONITOR PRO The Acoustic Monitor Pro's unique design makes it ideal to be used three different ways: standing upright, lying on its side, or supported on a stand. When it's standing upright, it projects its sound forward, a good choice for club performances or wherever your Acoustic Monitor Pro is acting as your primary means for bringing your sound to your audience. Placed it on its side, the Acoustic Monitor Pro acts like a wedge-type monitor, projecting its sound upward and outwards. If you are using one of the Sends to feed a signal from the Acoustic Monitor Pro to a large house P. A. , or to an Acoustic Monitor Pro, then this is ideal for you.
