USER GUIDE

F1 AURA™

Welcome

Thank you for making Fishman a part of your acoustic experience. We are proud

to offer you the ﬁnest acoustic ampliﬁcation products available; high-quality

professional-grade tools to empower you to sound your very best. We are

conﬁdent F1 Aura will both enhance and inspire your music making.

Despite its simple and clean appearance, F1 Aura features a powerful set of tone

shaping controls and programmability. We urge you to read through this user

guide and spend some time getting familiar with its operation, so that you may

easily realize the system’s full potential.

Aura Acoustic Imaging Technology uses digital algorithms developed in

Fishman’s audio laboratories to restore a studio-miked sound to an acoustic

instrument. To achieve this, we’ve recorded this instrument using world-class

microphones and techniques to capture an “Image” of the natural sound that

it emits when miked in a professional studio. This Image, when recorded direct

or played through an amp, mixer or PA, blends with the undersaddle pickup to

produce an incredibly accurate recreation of the original recording.

Quick Start

Before you begin, set the controls as shown:

1. Plug in • Use a ¼-inch instrument cable.

2. Tune up • Press and hold the Volume knob until

the tuner comes on. When engaged, the Tuner

mutes

the output. Press

Volume

to exit Tuner.

3. Turn up • Raise the Volume to a desirable level.

4. Blend in the Image • Turn the Edit knob to

adjust the Image/pickup blend.

5. Select an Image • Press the Edit knob once

and the letter “I” will be displayed. Turn the knob to select different Images.

6. Adjust Tone • Press the Edit knob repeatedly to select among the

different parameters for setting pickup tone. Turn the knob to adjust each

parameter’s value.

About the multi-function controls

F1 Aura packs an incredible amount of features into a small, elegant design. In

order to achieve this, both the Edit and Volume knobs contain a momentary

switch. Rather than just turning a knob, pressing down on it will gain access to

one or more features. For this reason, this guide will refer to knob actions as: turn,

press, or press+hold. Refer to the chart on page 15 for a quick reference of the

various features.

Play / Edit

F1 Aura operates in two modes: Play and Edit. Play is for selecting the most

frequently used controls while Edit gives you access to many more features.

Play

When you plug in, F1 Aura powers up into Play mode. In Play mode, Volume,

Blend and Phase can be adjusted. The chromatic Tuner and the automatic Anti-

Feedback circuit can also be activated.

Edit

Press and release the Edit knob to enter Edit mode; the tuner’s green in-tune

LED will light solid. Once in Edit, press the Edit knob repeatedly to step through

the parameters. Each parameter is displayed using a single letter to represent

its function (see page 15). Adjust its value by turning the Edit knob. A number is

displayed and the tuner’s sharp/ﬂat lights show positive or negative values.

Note: F1 Aura is programmable and automatically saves your settings.

To exit Edit and return to Play mode, wait 10 seconds for the display to go dark,

or press + hold the Edit knob for 2 seconds. You may also immediately exit by

simultaneously pressing both the Edit and Volume knobs.

Volume

Turn Volume • For the cleanest noise-free sound, set Volume as high as possible

without causing your amp or mixer to distort.

Phase

Press and release Volume • Use the Phase setting to improve bass response at

low volume and suppress feedback at high volume. Press the Volume knob

several times and leave it in the position most pleasing to your ear.

Press Volume once to turn it off.

This digital chromatic tuner accommodates all

tunings and mutes the output when engaged.

It can be activated without an instrument cable

connected, in which case it will turn itself off

after 90 seconds of inactivity.

The tuner is calibrated to A=440.

Blend

Turn Edit • Turn the Edit knob without pressing on it and the balance between

pickup and Image is adjusted. A setting of P= 100% Pickup signal; 0= a 50/50

pickup/Image blend; I= 100% Image signal.

Suggestions

• For live performance try backing off the Image by setting Blend to

about 2 or 3 (about 65% pickup).

• For recording, try blending in more Image for a realistic acoustic sound.

Automatic Anti-Feedback

Use this search-and-destroy Anti-Feedback circuit in addition to Phase to

control feedback during a performance. F1 Aura’s automatic Anti-Feedback

circuit can apply up to three separate notch ﬁlters, which are very precise tone

controls that reduce only a tiny piece of the audio band. When activated, the

ﬁlter locates and reduces the problematic resonances associated with feedback.

While the Anti-Feedback control is very effective, it’s best if you spend some

time while setting up before a performance and catch any issues before you

begin to play. With some practice, you’ll ﬁnd you can also use it to “ﬁx” any

resonant notes that may stand out in a particular venue.

Using the automatic Anti-Feedback control:

1. Press + hold both Edit and Volume for 2 seconds. The tuner display will ﬂash

a “1” to indicate it is searching for the ﬁrst feedback.

2. Turn up the Volume, then either dampen the strings while tapping the body or

play the troublesome note until the feedback begins. The ﬁlter will automatically

identify and eliminate the feedback. The “1” in the display will now light solid.

3. At this point, you may continue to turn up your Volume as in step 2 to identify

up to two more problematic resonances. Each is indicated via a ﬂashing “2” or

“3” during the search, in turn lighting solid when the resonance has been

identiﬁed.

4. You may press the Volume knob at any time to cancel the search. The circuit

will hold the notched frequenc(ies) in memory until the process is repeated.

Edit Mode Controls

Press Edit knob to enter Edit mode; the tuner’s green in-tune LED will light solid.

Once in Edit, press the Edit knob repeatedly to step through the parameters.

Each parameter is displayed using a single letter to represent its function.

Adjust its value by turning the Edit knob. A number is displayed and the tuner’s

sharp/ﬂat LEDs indicate positive/negative values.

Note: F1 Aura is programmable and automatically saves your settings.

To exit Edit mode, wait 10 seconds for the display to go dark, or press + hold the

Edit knob for 2 seconds. You may also immediately exit by simultaneously

pressing both the Edit and Volume knobs.
