The narrow format Prefix Plus-T from Fishman is a preamp system designed to offer simple and versatile controls in a compact housing for instruments such as acoustic guitars and basses. The system includes the preamp unit, a Fishman Switchjack stereo 1/4" endpin jack, and a Fishman Acoustic Matrix pickup. The Prefix Plus-T also delivers a built-in tuner with LED display.

Equalization is handled via 3-band EQ controls (Bass, Contour, and Treble). The frequency of the Contour band can be varied from 250 Hz to 3 kHz. The Brilliance knob provides additional high-frequency tone shaping. The Volume control can be used to make up for any level changes incurred by drastic equalization. Combat feedback problems, common in live performance scenarios, by adjusting the Notch control. When mixing signals from pickups and microphones together, use the Phase switch to maintain phase coherency.

The Prefix Plus-T is powered via a single 9V battery (available separately). A convenient low-battery LED indicator lights up when the battery is nearing the end of its life, which extends up to 150 hours. Battery replacement is easy due to the pivot design of the preamp’s control panel.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. When we record with Audacity it only records one side of the speaker on both tracks, ignoring the other side, meaning it is not stereo and only one side of the track can be heard. What is the problem, usb cable or usb output port from the preamp?

A: Check your computer settings - assuming Windows, go to Control Panel-Hardware and Sound-Sound-Recording. Select the USB Audio CODEC and click Properties, then Advanced. Make sure the Default Format is 2-channel. I do this every time I want to record something - most times the setting will be remembered, but every so often it will revert to 1-channel. Very annoying if I've recorded 5 albums before I notice!

Q: 2. Hello.Is the rca phono input compatible with a moving-coil input?Thanks

A: One disadvantage of the moving coil cartridge is that it generates a smaller voltage and requires a secondary preamplifier, sometimes known as a head amp. The head amp increases the voltage enough for a phono input on a stereo component. Some moving coil cartridges have higher output and are compatible with a standard phono input, but its output will be somewhat lower than a moving magnet cartridge. So this ART phono preamp is most likely NOT compatible with many moving-coil cartridges unless the manufacturer has designed the cartride for use with a standard phono preamp like the ART.

Q: 3. Will this work on the Xbox series X?

A: No, it will not. Compatibility is listed for Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista.

Q: 4. does this come with a usb cable?

A: no

Q: 5. Will this amplifier eliminate the tinny sounding play back on my Mac when trying record from my turn table?

A: I had no problem with tinny sound

Q: 6. Is there an output jack for headphones?

Q: 7. Is the T.16000M FCS a stand-alone USB joystick controller? I read somewhere that this new model requires the throttle added to work?

A: The joystick is stand alone. You need only use the throttle if you need or want it.

Q: 8. Will this device allow me to connect a TV's spdif output to a usb speaker? or does it need to be connected to a PC/Mac to work? I am hoping to connect my Bose Companion 5 speaker system to my TV.

A: I agree that the FiiO TAISHAN-D03K is probably the way to go. That's what I have hooked up between my TV and stereo system using a 3.5 interconnect. As mentioned, the ART USB is overkill with the phono preamp included.

Q: 9. will it work with windows 10?

A: Absolutely ... I've been using it on Win10 today on my system.

Q: 10. Are they New?
