Marshall AS100D Acoustic
Soloist Amplifier (2x50W 2x8 inch)
The Marshall AS100D Acoustic Soloist features
4-channels, mic and instrument inputs, 2x50W stereo power, twin 8"
speakers and two high fidelity polymer dome tweeters. It also
features superb-quality digital effects (Reverb, Delay and Chorus),
a parallel effects loop, and several anti-feedback controls
including a Phase switch for each channel and frequency
controllable Notch Filters.
The AS100D has been specially designed for use with a variety of
acoustic instruments, regardless of whether they have pick-ups
built in or not. Between its four channels, this combo has the
flexibility to handle instruments with piezo transducers or
magnetic pick-ups, plus microphones, for both vocal and instrument
reproduction. The two main acoustic instrument channels [1 and 2]
may be linked together and feature independent level and EQ
controls. The dedicated microphone channel offers a similar level
of control. The AS100D also has phono inputs on the Auxiliary
channel, specifically for use with external audio equipment.
Its 2x50-watt stereo configuration gives you enough power to
perform on stage with superb clarity, while the provision of a
balanced line out allows you the luxury of direct connection to an
external PA system for larger concerts. The superb quality of the
built-in digital effects for Reverb, Delay and Chorus, adds an
entirely new dimension to the range of sounds available. The AS100D
is actually the first ever Marshall combo to feature digital
effects, but it certainly won't be the last! Should you want to add
further effects, there is a parallel effects loop complete with
level control.
One of the most difficult aspects of amplifying acoustic
instruments is feedback. To help eliminate this, the AS100D
features several 'anti-feedback' controls, including a Phase switch
for each channel and frequency controllable Notch Filters with
selectable extra depth for channels 1 & 2.
For clear and detailed performance, the AS100D is loaded with
two 8" speakers and two high fidelity polymer dome tweeters. There
is also an internal limiter which allows you to push the maximum
level from the stereo 50-watt output stage, while remaining
distortion free.
Compact and portable, the stylish AS100D offers great
flexibility and is the ideal amplifier for the acoustic player who
wants the highest quality performance, with absolutely natural
tonal reproduction.
The Marshall AS100D gives you the power to perform, but with
sound so natural you'll forget you're even plugged in!
