PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Designed in response to requests from Upright Double Bass players, this versatile preamp/EQ/DI is at home everywhere from local open mic nights to major festival stages. The Pro-EQ Platinum is Fishman's premium preamp/DI, dialed-in just for the acoustic player. The Pro-EQ is packed with a rack's worth of serious acoustic processing, all in a stompbox-sized package.

The Pro-EQ Platinum's four-band equalizer is modeled after Fishman's gig-proven Prefix Plus onboard preamp, with sliders that are assigned to just the right frequencies for acoustic equalization. A semi-parametric midrange control employs a "constant Q" filter for more precise and consistent tone adjustments. Also borrowed from the Prefix design are feedback fighting phase and notch controls.

The Pro-EQ Platinum features Fishman's exclusive "Voltage Doubler" technology, which improves both the dynamics and clarity of any pickup. Another innovation utilized in the Platinum is the Smooth acoustic compression circuit. This control removes the harsh percussive edge from your amplified sound when you play hard.

Sound engineers will appreciate the Pro-EQ Platinum's pro-audio features which include a balanced XLR-out, and XLR pre/post EQ switch, plus optional 48-Volt phantom power operation. This means no more batteries or wall warts if your mixer has phantom power. Unique to the Pro-EQ is a hum-killing ground lift switch that (unlike other acoustic preamps) works even when phantom power is applied to the amp.
