Laney KU, A Series A-DUO Acoustic Instrument combo with 120W - 2 x 8 inch Coaxial Woofers
PURE ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
Designed and engineered in the UK, the A-DUO provides versatility, portability, and reliability to all levels of acoustic players. An ultra-efficient, dual mono Class D power amplifier plus a pair of 8” custom-designed dual-cone woofers, delivers articulate transparent acoustic sound with both punch and high-end clarity, just like your acoustic instrument. The A-DUO has been designed to adapt to multiple performance situations. Placed on the floor, it has a minimal stage footprint and can even be used as a performance seat. Alternatively, it can be placed on its side feet for tonal variation or mounted on a speaker stand for maximum projection. Whatever the acoustic application the A-DUO is a true performer
DETAILS
- Onboard Digital Effects – Independent Chorus & Reverb can be set for each of the channels
- Anti-Feedback control can be engaged and adjusted to eliminate the body resonance feedback often associated with amplified acoustic guitars at high volume levels. To eliminate body resonance feedback, switch the filter in and adjust the anti-feedback control until the body resonation reduces. You should find a “sweet spot on” the control where any feedback present disappears.
- A Class D output section provides a powerful, lightweight solution to sound reinforcement requirements. Class D amplifiers have the advantage of having a very high-power conversion efficiency and less power dissipated as heat removing the need for large heat sinks which allows them to be lightweight, powerful and very cost effective.
- Although designed primarily for acoustic guitar the A-DUO is equally at home handling a keyboard or a vocal mic, making the A-DUO ideally suited as a small PA system for party jams or intimate performances.
