Superior Sound and Portability

Flexible Cabinet Design
Designed to adapt to different setups, the A-DUO can sit flat on the floor where it doubles as a performance seat, rest on its side feet for tonal variety, or be mounted on a speaker stand for enhanced sound projection.
Dual-Channel Functionality
Each independent channel comes complete with balanced XLR and jack inputs, offering flexible connectivity for mics, instruments, or both simultaneously. The three-band EQ plus the exclusive ‘Shape’ control allow quick sound optimisation for any acoustic sound.
On-Board Digital Effects
Enhance your performance with built-in chorus and reverb effects available on both channels. Easily adjust chorus level and reverb intensity independently, with settings saved automatically for consistent sound every time you switch on.
Feedback Control and Additional Features
An intuitive Anti-Feedback button automatically detects and suppresses feedback frequencies. Additionally, a Phase switch helps eliminate sound cancellation issues for clean output even when close to the amplifier.
Phantom power is permanently active on XLR inputs, supporting condenser microphones without extra power supplies. The balanced XLR DI out offers a hassle-free connection to larger sound systems.
