The Matrix line of pickups are some of the most easy to use in any situation, and this newer Fishman Matrix Infinity Acoustic Pickup is one of our favorites. Originally marketed by Martin as the Thinline Gold and Thinline Gold Plus Pickups, the Fishman Matrix Natural 1 and Natural 2 (respectively) were the go-to systems for many gigging musicians for 15 years. Recently, Fishman has combined them with a switchable voicing design into the next generation Matrix Infinity model and added some features as well. The new Infinity (we use the narrow) is an active (i.e. battery operated) pickup that uses an under saddle piezo element run through a jack mounted preamp. This new version has soundhole accessible volume and tone thumbwheel controls with the Flat/Bass voicing switch tucked just behind them. A battery indicator light will fill your guitar with a faint red glow when the battery is low. The Fishman Matrix Infinity Acoustic Pickup is especially recommend to customers who need a lot of headroom for high volume levels without feedback.
