Acoustic Image Contra Guitar/Bass Amplifier Combo, from Acoustic Image

If you are looking for a perfectly natural reproduction of your acoustic instrument, then look no further. The down-firing 10" speaker in conjunction with the forward-firing 5" driver and tweeter create an amazingly natural sound. The flat response of this combo really reproduces what you plug into it with stunning accuracy. This amp is great for bass, acoustic guitar, archtop guitar, keyboards, and even vocals. And did we say "portable"? This is the lightest 400W combo amplifier you will ever carry!

The single-channel Contra integrated amp and loudspeaker system is designed to accurately reproduce the sound of all acoustic and electric instruments without the size and weight that has traditionally be associated with high quality amplification. Flat frequency response coupled with an extended, tight, well-controlled bass sound and clarity of reproduction are its principle sonic characteristics. Its omnidirectional output of frequencies below 800 Hz allows instruments amplified by the Contra to be easily heard by other musicians across the bandstand. Key features have been designed into the Contra to add flexibility for various playing situations. These include use of a combo jack input that allows either a 1/4 inch or XLR input, 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 built-in lifter mechanism allows the cabinet to be tilted to better direct sound to the player's listening position. A switch for dual voltage operation (115/230V, 50/60 Hz), a detachable power cord, a fitted slip cover with cable storage and shoulder strap, an optional padded gig bag with shoulder strap or a hard shell travel case make the unit convenient for the travelling musician.
