Fishman has introduced the new Platinum Pro EQ and Platinum Stage acoustic preamps, designed to provide very accurate sonic detail with any acoustic instrument.
Redesigned from the ground up, the all-analog Platinum Pro EQ and Platinum Stage incorporate discrete, high-headroom Class-A preamps using precision high-speed circuitry to enhance fidelity while lowering distortion.
Classic Fishman tone centers with sweepable mid are combined with a switchable guitar/bass EQ mode, making Platinum preamps more musical for bass instruments and more universal for both recording and live performances.
The new preamps also include features such as adjustable volume boost and balanced XLR DI (direct) outputs housed in a road-ready design.
The Platinum Pro EQ is built to be stomped on with durable foot switches that activate either the adjustable volume boost or high-contrast chromatic tuner. It also includes an analog soft-knee compressor, effect loop and precision sweepable notch filter.
With an included belt-clip, the Platinum Stage is especially intended for mobile instrumentalists such as mandolin and fiddle players. It can also be powered via 48-volt phantom power, offering complete control without batteries.
U.S. MSRP: Platinum Pro, $399.99; Platinum Stage, $194.99.
