esigned for the performing artist, Crate�s CA60D Acoustic Amplifier gives you more of what you want. More power. More clarity. More control. And, more freedom. Imagine: microphone quality sound, without feedback. And without being �chained� to a mic stand! More power: twin 30-watt RMS power amplifiers drive a pair of specially designed high fidelity 6-1/4� transducers for plenty of volume and low end punch. More clarity: a highly efficient Piezo tweeter provides clean crisp highs and natural midrange blend. A tweeter on / off switch on the rear panel allows you to deactivate the high frequency driver if desired. More control: two independent channels, each with its own gain and reverb/effects controls. The Instrument channel features an �Active/Piezo� switch to properly match the pickups of your instrument, a �Shape� switch for a richer soumd, and a three-band rotary EQ. An easy-to-use feedback elimination circuit with frequency select and cut controls lets you kill feedback without sacrificing sound quality. Plus a footswitchable chorus with depth and rate controls. The Vocal/Aux channel offers both low and high impedance inputs and allows the use of a rhythm machine, background tape, or another mic or instrument.
Still more: The master section features reverb return control and the master level control. A footswitch jack on the rear panel provides control for reverb and chorus. Level-controllable XLR and 1/4� balanced line outs allow you to patch into house sound boards or recording consoles, plus an effects loop line-in/line-out setup allows connection of external effects. Enough already? Not for us. The CA60D features Crate�s Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for a variety of digital reverbs, effects and delays specifically designed for acoustic instruments.
The CA60D was designed, evaluated, tweaked and redesigned by musicians and music loving engineers. Highly sophisticated computer driven assembly machines and highly skilled assemblers use only the finest components to produce each amp. Every cabinet is hand-built and hand-covered by trained craftsmen. The final assembled product is tested � and played � by skilled musician/ technicians. It is only after the amplifier has passed this barrage of picky people that it gets packed up and shipped out.
The CA60D Acoustic Amplifier. Designed to be its best, so you can sound your best!
