Installation

1. Plan an installation. We've included two potential wiring diagrams from Stephen and ESP

Guitars. Additional diagrams are available at www.shman.com.

Stephen's personal diagram uses a standard 3-way selector to simultaneously switch pickups

and voicing as follows: Position 1- Bridge Pickup, Voice 1. Position 2- Bridge pickup Voice 2.

Position 3- Neck Pickup, Voice 2.

2. Test t the components to make sure that each will t in the allocated locations, or modify

the instrument until the t is correct and all the controls can be located without issue.

3. Fishman Fluence multi-voice pickups require a 9-volt battery or one of the available

Fluence rechargeable battery packs. Check the t of your chosen power method into the

control cavity.

4. Pickup Voicing and High Frequency Tilt (HF Tilt) are selected by connecting their leads to

Ground. Stephen doesn't use HF Tilt (disconnected) in his diagram, and his pickup voicing is

automatically selected at each of his three positions. However you

can use these features, either switchable or xed, as indicated in our standard wiring

diagram or by creating a custom plan with your installer.

5. Once your nal wiring diagram has been chosen and your parts are laid out, complete the

soldering, mount and secure all your components and test your completed installation

before assembly. Be sure the push connectors are plugged in the correct way and that the

little arrow (triangle) imprinted onto the top left side of the connector matches the one on

the connector. Then plug in and play!

Ceramic Bridge Pickup Peak Frequency:

Voice 1 - 750Hz Voice 2 - 1.4kHz

Alnico Neck Pickup Peak Frequency:
