The Acoustic Reference Amplifier blends cutting edge loudspeaker design, two studio quality all discrete preamp channels and a 200W state-of-the-art digital poweramp in a beautiful and durable lightweight enclosure that redefines what is possible in a small portable amplifier. ************************************************ SPEAKER ************************************************ At the heart of the amplifier is a patented new loudspeaker. Unlike conventional multi-driver loudspeakers, all frequencies are generated by a single 9" honeycomb-diaphragm speaker that employs a single 2" voice coil. The primary benefit of this amazing speaker is a 140- degree wide full range conical sound field with an effortless SPL of 110 dB. As all frequencies are generated by the one flat diaphragm, there are no crossovers or the time distortions of multi-way speakers to smear and muddy the sound. Fundamentals and harmonics align naturally for clarity, detail and a big rich room filling sound. ************************************************ PREAMPS ************************************************ Building on the famed Para DI, the amplifier's preamps forgo op-amps and employ 100% discrete circuitry in an innovative configuration, resulting in fidelity and performance that places them among the world's finest mic preamps. We have also eschewed the generic digital effects chip common to most acoustic amps and created a specially modified spring reverb and driver circuit for the sweetest sounding reverb you've ever heard. ************************************************ POWERAMP *********************************************** The power amplifier is a European state-of-the-art 200 Watt Digital hi-fi amplifier that is warm, transparent and has plenty of power to trace the demanding dynamics of the acoustic guitar. ************************************************ 1/4" INPUT ************************************************ +Input Impedance- 10 megohms +Preamp Gain- Mute to + 40dB +Input Level- - 40dBv to +20dBv (.01Vrms to 3.53Vrms) ************************************************ XLR INPUT ************************************************ +Input Impedance- 6.8K ohms (Each leg of balanced) +Preamp Gain- Mute to + 50dB +Input Level- -50dBv to +12dBv (.003Vrms to 4.2Vrms) ************************************************ AUX INPUT ************************************************ + Input Impedance (1/4" mono)- 6.6K ohms + Input Impedance (1/4" stereo)- 20K ohms + Input Impedance RCA- 20K ohms (each side) + Input Level- -10dBv to +17dB (.3Vrms to 7Vrms) ************************************************ EQ ************************************************ + Notch- - 21 dB, sweepable from 60Hz to 320Hz (The notch is bypassed when clicked to the "off " position - full CCW) + Bass- +/- 12dB @ 100 Hz + Lo Mid- +/- 12dB @ 500Hz, sweepable from 200Hz to 1kHz + Hi Mid- +/- 12dB @ 2kHz, sweepable from 1kHz to 5kHz + Treble- +/- 12dB @ 10kHz ************************************************ EFFECTS LOOPS ************************************************ +Send Level- -5dBv (0.5Vrms) +Output Impedance- 600 ohms +Return Level- +6dBv (2Vrms) Maximum before clipping +Input Impedance- 20K ohms ************************************************ D.I.
