Fishman Aura Spectrum DI Acoustic Imaging Pedal

Feel your instruments aura come alive with the Fishman Aura Spectrum DI Acoustic Imaging Pedal as it thanks you for being freed from the tonal oppression of lesser direct boxes!

“Aura Spectrum DI is no ordinary direct box. The cost of a quality tuner, compressor, active EQ, and a balanced direct box far exceed the price of an Aura Spectrum DI - and that doesn’t even include the benefits of Aura Imaging. It’s an incredible value.” - Fishman.com

Fishman's Aura Spectrum DI is a multi-featured direct box including the award-winning Aura Acoustic Imaging technology. Aura Spectrum DI offers a 3-band Active EQ, one knob Compressor, Automatic Feedback Suppression, a Chromatic Tuner, Effects Loop, and balanced XLR DI, all housed in a durable all-metal casing. The Aura Spectrum DI is the tone solution for the recording or performing acoustic musician.

Aura Acoustic Imaging Technology makes an acoustic instrument pickup sound like a high quality studio microphone by blending an "Image", from an instrument of similar make and style that has been prerecorded using world-class studio mics and techniques, with the output from your undersaddle or soundhole pickup. (To hear an example, check out the "Audition" portion of the Fishman Product Video one tab over!) The included Aura Image Gallery software gives you access to an ever-expanding list of instruments!
