Amplify Any Acoustic!

Fishman's Rare Earth acoustic guitar pickup allows acoustic guitarists to quickly and easily plug into an amp, PA rig, or direct box with no modification to their instrument. Simply pop the pickup into the soundhole and you're ready to plug in! A volume control offers on-the-fly control via a useful thumbwheel. This Rare Earth pickup is humbucking, offering discerning guitarists hum-free operation. Neodymium (a rare earth element, hence the name Rare Earth pickup) magnets provide excellent string-to-string balance, while the discrete circuitry keeps the Rare Earth's signal pure and clean.

The Pickup
This Fishman Rare Earth pickup is a "stacked coil" style, for musicians who demand quieter reproduction than one coil pickup can offer. A volume control offers on-the-fly control via a useful thumbwheel.

The Preamp
The preamplifier is housed within the pickup. A low noise circuit design preserves the pickup's performance in any audio environment. The preamplifier lets you plug the Rare Earth into a full range instrument amp, an unbalanced input of a PA rig, a recording console or direct box, without the signal loss or degradation typically found with passive soundhole pickups. You may run cables up to 80' (25m) in length without any audible loss of fidelity.
