Fishman - Fluence Acoustic Rock Icon

For rock, country or bluegrass on loud stages, a standard acoustic mic can lack bite and quickly become a wall of feedback, but the Fishman Fluence Acoustic Rock Icon approaches the problem from a different angle. Its Fluence Core humbucker and neodymium magnet are calibrated to extract a more direct signal, with a clean attack response. You hear every note of your drop-D tuning, not compressed hum.

The secret to its stability in live monitor situations? It rejects parasitic vibrations. Where a traditional piezo pickup can pick up shocks on the body, this model concentrates on the vibration of the strings. The result: less risk of feedback at high volume and an equaliser that's easier for your sound engineer to manage. This is a major advantage when you're playing in a crowded bar or opening for a band.

You control everything from the rose. The master volume knob adjusts your overall level. When you press the booster button, it switches to Voice 2. This second voice adds a notch of presence and subtle crunch, perfect for energising a break or making your acoustic guitar cut through an electric band mix. The TRS output even lets you send the two voices on separate tracks in the studio.

Designed to fit guitars with a standard 101.6 mm (4") rosette, the Rock Icon is aimed at guitarists who need a sound that holds its own in high-energy settings. Its 160-hour lithium battery life and warning light mean there are no unpleasant surprises.
