GENZLER® AMPLIFICATION’S first acoustic instrument amplifier, the Acoustic Array® PRO, has been developed based upon our heritage in innovative amplification design and build. The Acoustic Array® PRO brings a fresh, advanced approach to instrument amplification with unmatched flexibility, clarity and definition. This guitar amp is ideal for a variety of acoustic/electric instruments, from steel string acoustics, nylon string guitars, and archtop and semi-hollow body instruments — where reproduction of the warmth, distinction and natural instrument’s tone is required. And now with our new Built in the USA, cabinet construction, this model is 2 lbs lighter, at 25 lbs, total weight. The AA-PRO’s full featured preamp design offers: 2 identical channels, both with mic and instrument inputs, a unique Contour circuit, flexible EQ network, Digital Effects, a 150 watt / 300 watt Class D power amplifier platform, unique angled cabinet shape, bottom-mounted speaker stand adaptor and a sophisticated ARRAY speaker system design, explained in more detail, below. Vintage Guitar Magazine“…the Acoustic Array Pro provides extensive tone-sculpting tools to deal with the ups and downs of amplified acoustic audio. It has a big, airy tone – much larger than you’d expect from a small combo – yet delivers extensive bass frequencies with detailed top and middle control”. – Pete Prown Description What does Acoustic Array mean? The focal point of this light-weight, compact combo is a speaker design engineered for acoustic instrument reproduction that is based upon our revolutionary Bass Array® format from our bass guitar cabinet designs. The AA-PRO speaker system features a specialized 10” woofer in a ported chamber along with the performance and pattern control of a proprietary line array column, which is mounted forward of the woofer in the center of the speaker baffle. The updated line array column now utilizes 4 LAVOCE, full-range, 2” neodymium, paper-cone drivers and no compression tweeter is used in this design. The use and placement of the line array provides exceptional clarity and ultra-smooth response, along with broad dispersion and projection that line array principals produce. The 10” woofer produces the depth and roundness of the low frequencies while the mid and high frequencies are produced by the line array and are clear, natural and authentic to the acoustic instrument. The blend of this innovative speaker system along with our preamp and amplifier platform delivers an acoustic amp like no other available. Either used as an acoustic instrument amplifier from the stage or a stand-mounted PA, the Acoustic Array™ PRO is a 27 lb versatile package ideal for a variety of uses and venues. FEATURES: Two Identical Preamp Channels w/Mic and Instrument Inputs Phantom Power for Condenser Mics Signal Phase Reverse Switch Unique Contour Circuit for Quick Tonal Adjustments Active EQ w/Sweepable Mids Adjustable Digital Reverb and Chorus on Each Channel Innovative Acoustic Array® Speaker System Design 10” Woofer w/4 x 2” Cone-driver Line Array Slanted Cabinet Design for Improved Projection Sturdy, Lightweight, Italian Poplar Plywood Ultra-lightweight 25 lb Compact Cabinet Design Power Output: 150 W (combo); 300 W with Extension Cab 3 XLR Direct Outputs Effects Loop Auxiliary Input Bottom-mounted Stand Adaptor Specifications PREAMP –— Identical dual channels with Mic and Instrument inputs on each. INPUT — 5Meg ohm input impedance. CHANNEL VOLUME – Voiced to provide natural, pristine, transparent reproduction of the instrument. INPUT PHASE SWITCH – reverses the polarity of the instrument input to help control potential feedback. CONTOUR — continuously variable control of a pre-shaped curve that boosts lows and highs while simultaneously cutting Mids. The slope is fairly gentle which keeps the tone shaping very musical. This curve covers a wide range of EQ and offers a quick and simple starting point for EQ adjustments. ACTIVE EQUALIZATION – The AA-PRO contains an active 3 band equalizer with a sweepable parametric mid-range frequency control. Bass +/- 15dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 75Hz Mid +/- 15dB boost/cut of the variable mid frequency selected Freq. Variable mid frequency from 200Hz- 5kHz Treble +/- 15dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 7.5kHz Digital Effect — Each channel has its own set of REVERB and CHORUS level controls that provide the user with the most flexibility in having either or both effects on each channel. The parameters of each effect are variable at the Master Section with the Reverb Time and Chorus Rate controls. POWER AMP — The Acoustic Array® PRO uses a state of the art, Class D power amplifier design and a high frequency auto-sensing universal switch-mode power supply (SMPS) to achieve unprecedented high performance in a lightweight package. For global use, there are no Voltage Switches to change or jumpers to move. This SMPS senses the line voltage from 100-240 Volts and automatically configures itself.
