USER GUIDE
F1 AURA™
Welcome
Thank you for making Fishman a part of your acoustic experience. We are proud
to offer you the finest acoustic amplification products available; high-quality
professional-grade tools to empower you to sound your very best. We are
confident F1 Aura will both enhance and inspire your music making.
Despite its simple and clean appearance, F1 Aura features a powerful set of tone
shaping controls and programmability. We urge you to read through this user
guide and spend some time getting familiar with its operation, so that you may
easily realize the system’s full potential.
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.

Play/Edit and the Multi-function Controls
About the multi-function controls
F1 Aura packs an incredible amount of features into a small, elegant design. In
order to achieve this, both the Edit and Volume knobs contain a momentary
switch. Rather than just turning a knob, pressing down on it will gain access to
one or more features. For this reason, this guide will refer to knob actions as: turn,
press, or press+hold. Refer to the chart on page 15 for a quick reference of the
various features.

Play / Edit
F1 Aura operates in two modes: Play and Edit. Play is for selecting the most
frequently used controls while Edit gives you access to many more features.
Play
When you plug in, F1 Aura powers up into Play mode. In Play mode, Volume,
Blend and Phase can be adjusted. The chromatic Tuner and the automatic Anti-
Feedback circuit can also be activated.
Edit
Press and release the Edit knob to enter Edit mode; the tuner’s green in-tune
LED will light solid. Once in Edit, press the Edit knob repeatedly to step through
the parameters. Each parameter is displayed using a single letter to represent
its function (see page 15). Adjust its value by turning the Edit knob. A number is
displayed and the tuner’s sharp/flat lights show positive or negative values.
Note: F1 Aura is programmable and automatically saves your settings.
To exit Edit and return to Play mode, wait 10 seconds for the display to go dark,
or press + hold the Edit knob for 2 seconds. You may also immediately exit by
simultaneously pressing both the Edit and Volume knobs.

Volume
Turn Volume • For the cleanest noise-free sound, set Volume as high as possible
without causing your amp or mixer to distort.
Phase
Press and release Volume • Use the Phase setting to improve bass response at
low volume and suppress feedback at high volume. Press the Volume knob
several times and leave it in the position most pleasing to your ear.
Tu n e r
Press+hold Volume 2 seconds to turn tuner on.
Press Volume once to turn it off.
This digital chromatic tuner accommodates all
tunings and mutes the output when engaged.
It can be activated without an instrument cable
connected, in which case it will turn itself off
after 90 seconds of inactivity.
The tuner is calibrated to A=440.

Play Mode Controls (cont.)
Blend
Turn Edit • Turn the Edit knob without pressing on it and the balance between
pickup and Image is adjusted. A setting of P= 100% Pickup signal; 0= a 50/50
pickup/Image blend; I= 100% Image signal.
Suggestions
• For live performance try backing off the Image by setting Blend to
about 2 or 3 (about 65% pickup).
• For recording, try blending in more Image for a realistic acoustic sound.
Automatic Anti-Feedback
Use this search-and-destroy Anti-Feedback circuit in addition to Phase to
control feedback during a performance. F1 Aura’s automatic Anti-Feedback
circuit can apply up to three separate notch filters, which are very precise tone
controls that reduce only a tiny piece of the audio band. When activated, the
filter locates and reduces the problematic resonances associated with feedback.

While the Anti-Feedback control is very effective, it’s best if you spend some
time while setting up before a performance and catch any issues before you
begin to play. With some practice, you’ll find you can also use it to “fix” any
resonant notes that may stand out in a particular venue.
Using the automatic Anti-Feedback control:
1. Press + hold both Edit and Volume for 2 seconds. The tuner display will flash
a “1” to indicate it is searching for the first feedback.
2. Turn up the Volume, then either dampen the strings while tapping the body or
play the troublesome note until the feedback begins. The filter will automatically
identify and eliminate the feedback. The “1” in the display will now light solid.
3. At this point, you may continue to turn up your Volume as in step 2 to identify
up to two more problematic resonances. Each is indicated via a flashing “2” or
“3” during the search, in turn lighting solid when the resonance has been
identified.
4. You may press the Volume knob at any time to cancel the search. The circuit
will hold the notched frequenc(ies) in memory until the process is repeated.

Edit Mode Controls
Press Edit knob to enter Edit mode; the tuner’s green in-tune LED will light solid.
Once in Edit, press the Edit knob repeatedly to step through the parameters.
Each parameter is displayed using a single letter to represent its function.
Adjust its value by turning the Edit knob. A number is displayed and the tuner’s
sharp/flat LEDs indicate positive/negative values.
Note: F1 Aura is programmable and automatically saves your settings.
To exit Edit mode, wait 10 seconds for the display to go dark, or press + hold the
Edit knob for 2 seconds. You may also immediately exit by simultaneously
pressing both the Edit and Volume knobs.
