ACOUSTIC
IMAGE CLARUS 1
AMPLIFIER FOR BASS and other acoustic instruments- 1 channel400 watt
The Acoustic Image Clarus
1A (Model 500 IA)
Series III
The Acoustic Image Clarus amps were designed
to accurately reproduce the sound of all acoustic and electric
instruments without compromise or the size and weight that has
traditionally be associated with high quality amplification.
Unlike other solid
state amps, the Clarus has a distinct, warm sound, more like
a tube amp. In addition, the Clarus is not "voiced"
like many electronic instrument amps. So its frequency response
is flat. This means that, with a high quality speaker system
(like the Contra
EX and Ten2 EX),
what you hear is your sound of your instrument. The tonal shaping
characteristics of the three-band EQ are sufficient to overcome
room acoustics or to shape your sound without adding noise to
the signal.
At the heart of
the Clarus is a powerful Class D switch mode amplifier that
runs cool yet delivers up to 500 Watts of clean, full spectrum
power into speaker loads as low as 2 ohms. Other features include
a parallel effects loop with a return level control, a selectable
notch or low cut filter for feedback or "boominess"
elimination and a balanced direct out with ground lift and pre/post
EQ selection to allow connection to a mixing board for PA augmentation
or recording. A switch for dual voltage operation (115/230V,
50/60 Hz), a detachable power cord and a padded gig bag with
shoulder strap make the unit convenient for the travelling musician.
Clarus amps are
for the working player looking for exceptionally clean, natural
sound, with wide frequency response and low noise. Carried in
one hand, or in the supplied gig bag, they provide an exceptional
combination of pure sound reproduction and portability.
