Fishman Narrow Ellipse Matrix format

The Meeting of the Acoustic Matrix and the Ellipse Blend

The Fishman Ellipse Matrix Blend combines the Acoustic Matrix under-saddle pickup, described by the brand as the best-selling pickup in the world, with the Ellipse Blend system. This combination retains the pickup’s transparency and definition while adding the expressiveness of a genuine microphone. The version offered here is the narrow format, to be selected according to your guitar’s bridge configuration.

Amplify Your Guitar Without Altering Your Playing

This system is designed for acoustic guitarists who want precise control over their amplified sound, both in rehearsal and on stage. The controls positioned in the soundhole remain within easy reach while preserving a natural playing position. The discreet integration leaves no visible modification to the instrument, and the phase switch helps control acoustic feedback when amplification conditions become more challenging.

An Adjustable Blend of Precision and Acoustic Character

The cardioid condenser mini-microphone features a flexible gooseneck mount for adjusting its position. The blend control lets you find the right balance between the piezo pickup signal and the microphone signal, while a dedicated control fine-tunes the microphone level. The ultra-low-noise preamp also features switchable low-frequency shaping to adapt the system’s response.

The neodymium magnetic mounting system and solderless connections make installation straightforward. Professional installation is still recommended to ensure proper compatibility with your instrument.
