The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker series takes a leap forward by adding an optimized single coil voice to its well - loved Voice 1 and Voice 2 sounds. This new third voice broadens the sonic horizons of Fluence Modern, enabling players to achieve a wider spectrum of tones with a perfect split - coil sound. Key features include multi - voice functionality. You can set it and forget it or wire it up to switch between three musically complementary voices. The pickups are rechargeable right on your guitar. An optional lithium - ion battery pack (not included) gives you weeks of playing time instead of just hours. There are distinct voices for both Alnico and Ceramic. Alnico Voice 1 offers a full, round, and boosted modern active high - output sound with amazing articulation and dynamics. Voice 2 is crisp, clean, and fluid, delivering the neck humbucker tone you've always desired without the thin, plinky sound. Voice 3 has a glassy, crystal - clear single - coil tone. For Ceramic, Voice 1 provides a crisp, searing crunch with tight bass and a growl. Voice 2 offers an organic, high - output, passive ceramic tone with superb distortion. Voice 3 has a bright, clear single - coil tone. Specifications include specific peak frequencies for Alnico and Ceramic, magnetic materials of Alnico V and Ceramic VIII, a bar magnet with blades magnetic circuit, an output impedance of 2 k, and current draws of 2.6 mA for the neck and 2.7 mA for the bridge.
Using your Fishman Fluence Modern Active Humbucker 6 - String Pickup Set is easy. First, if you choose to use the optional lithium - ion battery pack, install it on your guitar to power the pickups. You can set the pickups to your preferred voice or wire them up to toggle between the three voices as you play. To get different tones, switch between the Alnico and Ceramic voices depending on the sound you're after. For a more modern, high - output sound, go for the Alnico Voice 1 or Ceramic Voice 1. If you want a clean, fluid tone, choose Alnico Voice 2. And for a single - coil sound, pick either Alnico Voice 3 or Ceramic Voice 3. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pickups clean by gently wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or moisture. If the battery runs out, replace it with a new one. Make sure to follow the instructions when installing or removing the battery to prevent any damage to the pickups or your guitar.
