Thank you choosing the Rare Earth™ Banjo Pickup. It is our wish that you are

completely satisfied with this product. If you have any questions or comments, we

would like to hear from you. You may reach our customer service department at 978-

988-9665 or tech@fishman.com

With key input (and ears) from several top players, we spent over a year refining and

dialing in this pickup's performance until we were confident that we got it right.

To achieve noise-free, microphone-like reproduction, this pickup takes full advantage

of cutting-edge active transducer technology borrowed from our acclaimed Rare

Earth™ magnetic soundhole acoustic guitar pickups.

Like its guitar-pickup cousin, this new banjo pickup features a quiet humbucking coil

design that dutifully rejects noise and hum. A powerful neodymium magnet focuses

the banjo's sound through a small steel shim that attaches to the head (not the

player's head, the banjo’s). Hidden in the pickup's case is a stealthy preamplifier,

which strengthens the signal and preserves the natural sound of the instrument. The

pickup can mount on either dual or single coordinator rod banjos (single rod

instruments require a special fitting). With a battery life of well over 5,000 hours, you

can expect years of use between battery changes.

Remove the shielding barrel from the jack, run the wire through it, then solder:

• Red wire to tip (shortest terminal)

• White wire to switch (longest terminal)

• Shield to ground (hooked terminal)

Attach a 9 Volt Alkaline battery to the battery clip.

Slip the battery into the holder on the backside of the pickup.

Plug It In

Once everything is buttoned up, plug in the banjo and if necessary, adjust the position of

the pickup along the rods for best sound. Make sure the pickup is spaced 1/16" from the

underside of the head. Very small adjustments will make noticeable changes. Experiment

until you find the Sweet Spot - the loudest and clearest position.

Adapter for Banjos with a Single Coordinator Rod

Two adapter blocks can be made to fit the pickup to a banjo with a single coordinator rod. A hard wood

such as maple is suitable for the blocks.

A split block can be made by first drilling a hole one drill size larger than the diameter of the

coordinator rod through one of the blocks. Trim the block as thin as possible on the pickup side to

minimize offset, and cut in half as per the illustration.

To provide friction between the clamping surfaces

and the rod, take a fine grit open mesh sanding

sheet and wrap it around the rod's circumference.

Fit the split block around the sanding sheet. If

sanding sheet isn't available, glue pieces of 220

grit sandpaper to the drilled surfaces of the block,

and fit it around the coordinator rods.

Now cut a solid block, equal in width to the split block

fitted in place. This will fit in the other half of the clamp

assembly. Note that the rubber strips should be

removed from the inside of the clamps when fitting the

pickup in this manner. There will now be a small offset

between the ideal center of the pickup and the center of

the middle foot of the bridge, but the pickup should

still function prop erly. Follow the rest of the

instructions for pickup installation.

Re-assemble the jack assembly. Wind the pickup wire several times around the

coordinator rod, then route the wire through an opening in the flange.

Mount the Pickup

Remove the backing paper from the small rectangular blue shim to expose the

sticky-back adhesive. Attach the shim to the head (inside the instrument) so that the

shim is centered under the coordinator rods, perpendicular to the rods and about

1/2" (12.7 mm) from the edge of the middle bridge foot.

Loosen the wing nut and position the pickup directly over the blue shim. The

magnet will self-locate the pickup over the shim. For a darker response, leave the

pickup positioned directly over the shim. For brighter response, move the pickup

1/4" away from the shim, towards the neck.

Set the pickup about 1/16" from the surface of the head. You can make a 1/16"

spacer cut from the box for this pickup and use it to set the gap between the head

and the face of the pickup.

After the pickup is secured to the coordinator rods, disassemble the jack then attach

the curved bracket to the flange. To accommodate different styles of flanges, we

provide two types of washers (a set of standard and off-center washers).
