AER CX8-2 and GIGBAG Natural Stained Oak cabinet
Thh CX8-2's high-class discrete power amplifier delivers 100 Watts at 8/ Ohms with substantial power reserve due to oversized power supply. It is a stand alone system for general reinforcement /installation purposes and any monitor applications. It is perfectly matched to complement Acousticube 3 as stereo extension. In combination with AS360 D/Sub it forms a small mini PA system for small clubs and/or acoustic, jazz or fusion ensembles.

With all the experience in acoustics, dynamic control and sound design AER reaches out into the field of professional bass amplification and launches the AER Bottom_Line.
Is it was just a matter of time for AER to make use of technology and experience to progress into related spheres.
Tonal performance, dynamic range, punch and perfect balance from crisp trebles to growling lows is what we aimed for to give you the best possible platform to express yourself in music.
done a lot to make that happen!

Design features, besides efficiency, light in weight, small in size, reproduction of a truthfull tone, have mainly been fast attack time, low distortion and high power handling. All of this is extremely demanding and requires a lot of attention to all detail.
Cab one is a two way full range loudspeaker system. To extend the bass range we decided to apply two 10" speakers in push-pull mode. This allows smaller cabinet size keeping the low cut-off frequency and thus allows more low end besides performing with less
distortion.
Instead of a horn or tweeter whose 'harshness' we are not really friends with we relied on the performance of the AER 8" twin cone extended range chassis to cover the mid and high frequency range.
AER BASS CUBE 2 ACOUSTIC BASS AMPLIFIER
Three channel acoustic bass amplifier. Combined XLR,
6.3 mm input socket as pre-amp section with 4 presets. Piezo with 10 mega-ohm impedance, high end line input stage. Balanced mic-input stage with 48V phantom power. 340/60 w / 8/4ohm bi-amping. 12"-coax speaker with tweeter...

AER BASIC PERFORMER ACOUSTIC BASS AMPLIFIER and GIGBAG
Twin channel acoustic amplifier for low range. Hybrid 4 x 60 w / 4 ohm,
20 Hz - 20 kHz, dynamic control, 4 x 8"-twin cone speaker system.
effect loop, tuner,- line, headphones, DI-out, AUX in.
The Basic Performer offers superior coverage for the critical mid-range
and still has got enough substance in the treble range. Four
8"-twin-cone speaker systems which are separately powered by four 60 W
power amps in a special bandpass/bassreflex cabinet provide for the
required surface area and sound pressure to also reproduce the lowest
frequencies.
The sound characteristics are full range, open, light and are thus
appropriate for far more instruments than the bass or bass-related
instruments such as harp, cello, accordion.

AER BOTTOM LINE AMP TWO and GIGBAG
Amp two is the second member of the Bottom Line combo bass amps. Based on Amp one, but with more defined speaker-system and more power. A 12" neodymium woofer for quick and full bass response combined with a 4" mid-high direct radiating speaker for gentle trebles allows a wider range of sounds from funk to pop, rock and jazz.
In further difference to the Amp one the signal path is lead trough adjustable compression pre EQ- to provide even more dynamic headroom.
AER BOTTOM LINE AMP ONE and GIGBAG
AER Bottom Line Amp One, Basscombo, 200 Watts RMS, 1x10" Neodym Speaker, Aux in, Effect Loop, Outputs: XLR DI/Headphone, built in Compressor, Dimensions HWD: 369 x 320 x 285 mm, Weight: 13,4 kg

The AER Domino 3 consists of two AER Compact amplifiers pushing 100 watts each in stereo into 8" twin cone speakers and "mini PA" capable with four input channels...all in a single enclosure weighing only 35 lbs. Like other amplifiers in the AER line, the AER Domino voicing is neutral and transparent, without exaggerated frequency boosts. It works equally well with magnetic pickups and bridge mounted systems, plus also with microphones. The Domino 3 includes AER's 32-bit effects processor with 16 presets addressable by each channel through individual effects-sends. This delivers a variety of effects suitable for both instruments and voice. The effect presents can be managed by PC software included with the amplifier. Left and right "outs" in combination with the "pre" Master out allow use of separate active speaker systems and a way to extend the Domino to a PA or recording board. Output: 200 watts @ 4-ohms in stereo [2x100] Speakers: two 8" twin-cone systems Frequency response: 60Hz-18kHz Phantom power 48v Dimensions: ...H: 14.37" ...W: 16.55" ...D: 11.81" Weight: 35.5 lbs [16.0 kg]

An entire mini P.A. system hidden inside a guitar amp, the Domino consists of four channels (2 x guitar, 2 x voice) and 2 x 60W power amps. A built in reverb / delay unit offers a choice of 4 preset sounds; alternatively, the effects loop enables the amp to be connected up to an external effects unit.
Other features include stereo outputs with a stereo widening option to connect up to a larger P.A. system, and 24 Volt Phantom power to allow the use of condenser microphones on the voice channels.

AER
COMPACT 60 ACOUSTIC AMPLIFIER and GIGBAG - SOLID WOOD OAK
The AER Compact 60 rev.2 amplifier features an unbeatable combination of size, power, and sound quality. Nicknamed "Bingo," the Compact 60 is only 18lbs, making it is one of the lightest acoustic amps on the market. Don't be fooled by the power rating as the 60 watts that this amp produces are far more efficient than most other amps. The Compact 60 is louder than most amps rated at 200 watts.
An amp designed to meet the needs of the acoustic guitarist
The preamp section is designed to "soften" the harsher qualities produced by most piezo pickups. In this regard it is a "miracle amp" as it seems to tame even the most unruly pickup systems, making them sound clean and natural. It is a simple to use "plug and play" amp which requires little expertise from the user. Most players find they spend far less time adjusting the tone controls with this amp as it usually sounds perfect when set flat.
The Compact 60 is played by the world's top professional guitarists
The outstanding performance of the Compact 60 has won it admirers the world over. Great acoustic guitarists such the legendary Tommy Emmanuel and John Renbourn perform with the Compact 60. Among Gypsy jazz guitarists, the Compact 60 has become the choice for amplification. Stochelo Rosenberg, Romane, Bireli Lagrene, Dorado Schmitt, and so many other greats of the style use this amp.
Although marketed as an "acoustic amp," the Compact 60 is used by many archtop jazz guitarists. Gene Bertoncini, Jack Wilkins, Russell Malone, and Martin Taylor have replaced much larger tube amps with the light weight and great sounding Compact 60!
An acoustic amp loaded with useful features
The Compact 60 has two input channels, one of which is a line input and the other a combination line/mic input. Many utilize these multiple channels to run dual pickup systems and/or microphones or you can even have two individual musicians performing through the same amp!
This amp also features an 8" twin-cone speaker, 4 digital effects, three band tone controls, and a stand mount. The rear of the amp has the following outputs: tuner out, line out, headphones, XLR DI-out, effects loop, and footswitch. The dynamic control features include a subsonic filter, an aural enhancer, and a limiter.
