The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker series now adds an optimized single - coil voice to its well - loved Voice 1 and Voice 2 sounds. This new third voice expands the sonic horizons of Fluence Modern, enabling players to achieve an even wider variety of tones with a perfect split - coil sound. Key features include multi - voice functionality, allowing you to set it and forget it or wire it up to switch between three musically complementary voices. It's rechargeable right on your guitar, and an optional lithium - ion battery pack (not included) offers weeks of playing time. With Alnico Voice 1, you get a modern active high - output sound that's full, round, and boosted, with amazing articulation and dynamics. Alnico Voice 2 gives you a clean, crisp, and fluid neck humbucker tone without the unwanted thin sound. Alnico Voice 3 provides a glassy, crystal - clear single - coil tone. For Ceramic Voice 1, it offers an ideal active ceramic humbucker tone with a crisp crunch, tight bass, and a growl. Ceramic Voice 2 delivers an organic, high - output, passive ceramic tone with superb distortion, and Ceramic Voice 3 has a bright, clear single - coil tone. Specifications include Alnico peak frequencies of 650 Hz (Voice 1), 420 Hz / 8 kHz (Voice 2), 4.7 kHz (Voice 3), and Ceramic peak frequencies of 630 kHz (Voice 1), 1.8 kHz (Voice 2), 4.5 kHz (Voice 3).

Using your Fishman Fluence Modern Active Humbucker 6 - String Pickup Set is easy. First, install it on your guitar following the standard installation procedures. Once installed, you can start exploring the three different voices. You can set a single voice if you like a consistent sound, or wire it up to switch between voices according to your musical needs. When it comes to power, if you choose to use the optional lithium - ion battery pack, make sure to recharge it regularly to keep your playing time up. As for maintenance, keep your pickup clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture as this can affect its performance. If you notice any issues with the sound or functionality, it's a good idea to check the wiring connections or consult a professional guitar technician.
