The Presys Plus 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 1/4" endpin jack, and a Fishman Sonicore pickup, all pre-wired for solder-free installation. The Presys Plus also delivers a built-in tuner with LED display.

Equalization is handled via 3-band EQ controls (Bass, Middle, and Treble). 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 Presys Plus 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 88 hours. Battery replacement is easy due to the pivot design of the preamp’s control panel.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. does this unit come with a power supply? My main intent for it is to put between my TT and Pioneer spc-1 preamp, because of the long distance between the two. I'll also use it to transfer some vinyl to computer, but for that purpose I believe the USB connection will power it.

A: The power supply is included with the USB Phono Plus.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Are the input and output impedances in this description correct? They're backwards from other the other Bellari preamp, and mismatched for common turntable cartridges as far as I can tell, but exactly backwards so I bought something else. I wanted this one, but since the company did not respond to my question, I did not buy one. Maybe someone has one and can test it.

A: Yes. The listed input and impedances of: Input: 47 K ohm (high impedance) and Output: 32 ohms(low impedance) These are the correct specs and typical (though the output impedance is lower than most phono pre-amps.

Q: 5. will this work with a phono level turntable without a preamp?

A: Yes--this IS a preamp. It has RCA jacks IN (left and right stereo) and preamp OUT (also RCA jacks). And USB OUT to your computer. And headphone OUT with a volume control in order to monitor. It is a standard stereo mini jack (3.5mm), not 1/4 inch. The headphone level control does not affect the level of the USB out. You can also select Phone or Line INPUT on the front panel, with a GAIN control. I use it to record from a turntable with magnetic cartridge to my MAC computer, while I monitor the audio from the turntable with a stereo headset. Works like a charm.

Q: 6. Does it require any additional software?

A: Software CD included with this product.

Q: 7. does this come with a usb cable?

A: no

Q: 8. Is there an output jack for headphones?

A: No there is not.

Q: 9. is this power supply dual voltage and hrtz?

A: Based on what we can tell, this power supply would be dual voltage and dual hertz.

Q: 10. Most of these AD2022's are silver...any difference with this black one?

A: There is no difference between the black and silver versions of the Avalon Design AD2022 Microphone Preamp.
