Fishman Neo-D Magnetic Soundhole Pickup Humbucker PRO-NEO-D02

The Fishman Neo-D Magnetic Soundhole Pickup Humbucker PRO-NEO-D02 is a compact, passive magnetic pickup designed for acoustic guitars. Built on the same neodymium magnet architecture as the acclaimed Rare Earth family, it delivers even string balance and sparkling acoustic clarity from the low strings to the highs.

Its low-profile, high-impedance design is truly plug-and-play—no battery, no preamp, and no extra wiring. Drop it into the soundhole and connect to a standard amplifier, DI box, or audio interface for an immediate, natural amplified tone that preserves your guitar’s resonance and articulation.

Installation is straightforward with no alterations to your instrument. The PRO-NEO-D02 fits soundholes as small as 3-7/8" (98.5 mm) in diameter, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of acoustic guitars without compromising access to your fretboard.

The Humbucking model features stacked coils to minimize hum and noise, delivering a clean, focused signal even in live environments or busy recording rooms. If you’re exploring options, the Neo-D family also offers a Single Coil version, but the Humbucker variant is designed to maximize quiet performance while preserving punch and detail in your amplified signal.

Key benefits for players:

• Rich, balanced string response: Neodymium magnets capture each string’s character, delivering clear treble shimmer and solid, present bass without honky or muddiness.
• No batteries, effortless setup: Passive design means you can plug in and play without power concerns or extra gear.
• Low-profile footprint: Slim construction tucks into shallow to standard soundholes without altering the guitar’s body or neck access.
• Noise-free performance (humbucker): Stacked coils suppress hum for a quieter stage or studio experience.
• Easy, non-destructive installation: Designed for quick mounting with solid hold and reversible setup.

Ideal for performers and creators who demand acoustic realism with reliable amplification—whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or jamming at home. The PRO-NEO-D02 delivers a transparent, integrated sound that complements strumming, fingerpicking, and light to moderate picking dynamics, ensuring your guitar cuts through the mix without losing its natural voice.

Compared to other soundhole solutions, the Neo-D approach emphasizes string balance and clarity through its neodymium magnet system, producing an articulate signal that translates well through pedals, preamps, and recording chains. It’s a practical upgrade for players who want straightforward installation, consistent performance, and an amplified voice that stays true to their instrument’s character.
