AER HEAD ONE

AER HEAD ONE

AER HEAD ONE



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.

The concept is a small, light-weight two channel Class D integrated amplifier that covers the range from Anglo-saxon 'punch' to European 'hifi' orientated sounds. Head one can be used in three operational modes: 2 channel full range mode, 2-way-active mode and bridge mode in combination with Cab one and/or two. It is equipped with 'tube emulation' for 'drive' sounds, two independent EQs, 'colour-switch' and 'tone lever' Class D amps are getting more popular as besides efficiency they can be made so surprisingly small and light. Besides these benefits they inherit a lot of problems (noise, distortion, cutt-off) especially if they are used in 'limit mode'. Their overall performance is extremely depending on the design and the smart use of controls and protections to guarantee proper functionality. We have

done a lot to make that happen!

Cab two is a 15", Cab three a 12" neodym bass reflex loud-speaker-system. Both work stand alone with Head one. Cab two in addition is the perfect match to work in conjunction with Cab one as full stack.

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

AER BASS CUBE 2  ACOUSTIC BASS AMPLIFIER

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...

An Acousticube for double

bass -

Reproducing the sound uncompromisingly within full dynamic extent

and as small as possible dimensions.

The result is a technically advanced three-channel system with

12"-longthrow membrane speaker and tweeter in coaxial position.

Powered with 400 watts, dynamic control, switch-mode power supply and cascade power amps in a cube of 40 x 40 cm (15.75" x 15.75"), the Basscube has got the power to go to the lowest frequencies

and still be able to reproduce all frequency ranges authentically.

Whether 'arco' or 'pizzicato' - the Basscube sounds like your double

bass: round and open.

You can hear the stroke of your bow as true to life as the placing of your fingers on the fingerboard. The Basscube breathes, lives

just like your instrument.

You can also play electric bass guitar via this amp; its various features allow the greatest possible adjustment to setting and instrument. By the way - an AG8 placed on a microphone stand next to your Basscube will serve as ideal monitor on small stages and enhance the full range qualities of your Basscube
