7 Acoustic Imaging

Aura® Acoustic Imaging Technology. The sound quality of a studio mic – whenever (and wherever) you plug in.

Fishman’s Aura Acoustic Imaging technology allows acoustic musicians to easily and accurately reproduce the sound of their instrument as miked in a professional studio.

Aura uses digital algorithms, developed in Fishman’s audio labs, to create an Image of the natural sound that microphones capture in a professional studio. This Image, when played through an amp, mixer, or PA, blends with your instrument’s pickup to produce an immediate and dramatic improvement in your amplified sound.

Aura Acoustic Imaging Logo Sheet C. DeMaria Pantone PMS: Warm Gray 11 M “Every so oftenMarch an 5, 2007electronic device arrives on the scene. In my work the need to record a guitar and a voice may require isolation. My new friend “Fishman Aura” gives me many choices to achieve great results. It sounds great live and the recording sounds like a fine microphone isolated recording.” – Phil Ramone, GRAMMY® Award winning producer Lisa Loeb James Valentine of Maroon 5
