Installation

1. Plan an installation. We've included three potential wiring diagrams from Caparison Guitars. Additional diagrams are available at www.�shman.com.

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. The pickup voicing options are selectable by connecting the associated control wire to ground or leaving it �oating (disconnected). The Voice 3 option con�gures each pickup for single coil operation for a clean, bright tone. In this mode, the inner coils are active and provide hum cancelling when using both neck and bridge pickups together. The Voice 3 control wire overides the Voice 2 wire, regardless of which mode it is in.

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!

OverviewThese instructions provide installation options for the Fishman Fluence Killswitch Engage Signature pickups.
