Fishman Loudbox Mini with Bluetooth

The Fishman Loudbox Mini offers two channels: The first is designed for acoustic instruments, featuring a three-band EQ, a phase switch, and two effects - chorus and reverb. Channel two, with its XLR input, is for plugging in a microphone and comes with a two-band EQ for bass and treble, plus the option to add reverb to the signal. A master volume knob controls the overall level of the output stage, which delivers its 60W through a 6.5" speaker and a 1" soft-dome tweeter. An AUX-in socket lets musicians play backing tracks or background music for intermissions – the Loudbox Mini's Bluetooth function can be used for the same purpose. A mix DI output sends a clean line signal to connected mixers or computer interfaces.

Fishman is a leading manufacturer of pickup microphones and amplifiers for acoustic instruments. It was founded in 1981 by Larry Fishman, who still runs it today. The first products were pickups for acoustic guitars, which were very quickly adopted by such guitar makers as Guild and Martin. This put the young Massachusetts firm on the map. Subsequently, further pickups were developed and adapted to other instruments, notably the violin, double bass and banjo. In addition to pickup systems, the current product range includes preamps, effects units and special performance acoustic amplifiers.
