Acoustic Amplification 2 O O CATALO9 A little family secret Since it’s beginning, in the early 1980’s, Fishman has helped acoustic musicians achieve the truest sound possible whenever they plug in. In that time we have been awarded more than 30 patents. And won more awards for quality, design, performance and innovation than all of our competitors combined. Sure, our ongoing commitment and wide range of innovative products has helped our passionate little company grow to become the industry standard for acoustic amplification. And Fishman equipment is now used around the world. But that won’t change what got us here: always putting the needs of the acoustic musician first. But here’s the secret: Every artist who chooses Fishman does so without incentives other than a desire for the best possible sound. So, the loyalty from our extended family of players, technicians, repair professionals and instrument manufacturers is really a result of our loyalty toward them, as evidenced by our innovative, reliable products, over-the-top customer support, and unwavering goal of amplified acoustic excellence.
