A Fishman Solution Designed for Resonator Guitars
The Resophonic Classic Series was designed to capture closely what makes a resonator guitar charming: the metallic grain, projection, and "roots" character that often get lost with overly generic pickup solutions. Its simple and effective approach aims for faithful timbre reproduction while remaining easy to integrate on many resonators.
For Live, Studio, and Slide Players
This microphone is intended for blues, bluegrass, country, and roots guitarists who want to amplify their resonator without compromising its identity. It suits both fingerpicking and bottleneck playing styles and offers greater control on stage thanks to its strong feedback resistance-a key point for instruments with high resonance.
Mounting at the Heart of the Resonator and Optimization with Preamplifier
The microphone is mounted at the center of the resonator to capture the instrument's sonic signature accurately. Being a passive microphone, it performs best when paired with an impedance-matching preamplifier : this provides a more usable signal, better frequency response, and more consistent dynamics depending on your setup (DI, acoustic amplifier, mixing console). For a clean and reliable result, professional installation is recommended.
