USER GUIDE
AURA VT ENHANCE™
Welcome
Thank you for making Fishman a part of your acoustic experience. We are proud to offer the finest acoustic amplification products available; high-quality professional-grade tools which empower you to sound your very best. We are confident Aura VT Enhance will inspire your music making.
Aura Acoustic Imaging Technology uses digital algorithms developed in
Fishman’s audio laboratories to restore a studio-miked sound to an acoustic instrument. To achieve this, we’ve recorded this instrument using world-class microphones and techniques to capture an “Image” of the natural sound that it emits when miked in a professional studio. This Image, when recorded direct or played through an amp, mixer or PA, blends with the undersaddle pickup to produce an incredibly accurate recreation of the original recording.
This system is also equipped with the Enhance™ transducer that delivers a new level of sound quality and playing dynamics. When combined with Aura Acoustic
Imaging, Enhance can be used to strengthen the dynamic and percussive elements of your playing.

Controls
Plug In • Connect the Aura VT Enhance to your amplifier or PA with a ¼-inch instrument cable and it will power on. To conserve battery life, remove the instrument cable from the guitar when the system is not in use.
Volume • For the cleanest noise-free sound, set the volume as high as possible without causing your amp or mixer to distort.
Tone • This innovative, one-knob tone control lets you choose between a natural, undersaddle sound (flat) on up to a “Scooped” tone with emphasized treble and bass.
• To make individual notes sound thicker and punchier, roll this control to the right.
• Try the Tone control in the middle position for fingerpicking, when you need just a bit of midrange cut.
• Roll the Tone control all the way to the left for more depth and clarity to your sound, especially for hard strumming.
Enhance • Turn this level control clockwise to add more of the Enhance pickup into your output.

Battery Replacement
A low battery LED is built into the preamp housing mounted inside the guitar.
When the Battery LED lights steadily, it is time to change the battery. To replace the battery, open the battery box door, remove the old battery and replace with a new 9 Volt alkaline battery.
If you ship your guitar, we recommend you remove the battery as a precaution.
