AER Compact Classic Pro Acoustic Amplifier

A combo amp ideally suited to classical instruments and styles.

The Compact Classic Pro amplifier is for classical players and their instruments. Based on the Compact 60 power amp, the Compact Classic Pro benefits from an improved 2-way-speaker system, a more complex 3-band EQ with parametric bass and the use of the AER 32-bit effects-processor with carefully designed presets for classical instruments.All features of the AER Compact Classic Pro combine nicely to accurately reproduce the finer tonal texture of a classical instrument throughout the full audio band, enhance the low frequency response without increasing the feedback risk and create beautiful ambiance that supports the tone.Having an acoustic guitar amp with one simple single setting is nice, but it really doesn’t work, especially for more demanding classical instruments. For the right sound, it takes a little work, learning how to dial it in.

AER believes that giving you a wide variety of settings will pay off in the end.One channel – two individual inputs allow parallel use with any kind of pickup and microphone and allow two sound sources with the instrument. Dynamic controlled 60-Watts RMS and the 8″ twin-cone — tweeter speaker system give perfect performance at all sound pressure levels.
