Operation
Operation assumes installation and wiring as described in the installation guide associated with each
pickup type.
Voices
Fluence pickups and pickup systems have at least two distinct voices,
which can be accessed in a number of ways. Most systems include push/
pull pots, but the switching function can also be wired to mini toggle
switches, integrated into a multi-pole pickup selector, or hard-wired using
the included jumper (if you prefer only one of the voices).

Playing Fluence for the first time
There are several things you should notice as you spend time
with Fluence. There is a sense of immediacy in response to your
playing, unlike traditional pickups which have the feeling of a
slower response time by comparison. Listen for the fundamen-
tal in relationship to the overtones, and individual notes within
chords to come through more clearly.
The volume controls behave in a more usable manner.
Reducing your volume control doesn’t degrade the tone of the
pickups. You may be more inclined to allow higher signal and
headroom at the amp or pedals and control the gain structure
with your volume knob.
Fluence pickups are very low noise, even in single coil mode.

Pickup Height
Pickup height is important. Fluence Cores have unparalleled
clarity and performance across different height settings. The
magnetic circuits are highly rened, therefore raising and lowering
the pickups in relation to the strings can affect the feel and
response as well as the output. Like other pickups, setting the
them too close to the strings can “pull” the strings, resulting in
some unpleasant artifacts.
Battery
While Fluence can be powered with a standard 9-volt battery, Fishman offers optional rechargeable
battery packs in several formats, so that you never need to change a 9-volt battery again. To conserve
battery life, remove the instrument cable from the guitar when the system is not in use.

Voice 2 Mid Flat
Some Fluence pickups, such as Soapbar models, include a selectable Mid Flat on Voice 2. This
bypasses the mid contour portion of Voice 2, and works in humbucking and single coil operation
Coil Splits
Many Fluence pickups are capable of coil splits, allowing the Fluence
Core to truly split to a single coil.
Fluence Cores are extremely quiet and resistant to noise. When
congured as true single coils, some hum can be present, but at a mere
fraction of what is experienced with traditional single coils. In many
cases, it will be unnoticeable.
