Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a microphone and acoustic guitar at the same time?
Yes. The A-DUO has two independent channels with separate combi XLR/1/4" inputs, so you can plug a condenser mic into one channel and a guitar into the other simultaneously. Each channel has its own gain, shape, and 3-band EQ controls for independent mixing.
Is this amp suitable for small venues or busking?
The A-DUO works well for intimate venues, small cafes, and outdoor performances up to small to medium rooms. At 120W with two 8" woofers, it delivers enough clean volume for acoustic instruments and vocals in those settings, but it is not designed for large venue amplification or high-SPL demands.
What happens if feedback occurs during a performance?
The amp includes an automatic anti-feedback eliminator that detects and suppresses feedback in real time, helping you stay confident on stage without manual intervention.
Can I record directly from this amp into a computer?
Yes. The headphone output can be used for direct monitoring or recording into an interface, and the aux input allows you to integrate external sources into your mix. The dual-channel architecture also makes it easy to balance multiple sources for a clean stereo or mono print.
How portable is the A-DUO?
At 10.5kg (about 23 pounds) and compact dimensions of 530mm H × 265mm W × 242mm D, it is lightweight enough to be carried by one person and can even serve as a performance seat if needed, making it ideal for gigging musicians with limited transport space.
