DANGER
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss.
Individuals vary considerably to noise-induced hearing loss but most will lose
some hearing if exposed to intense noise for a sufficient period of time. The
U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
specified the following permissible noise level exposures:
According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
CAUTION
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, D0 NOT REMOVE CHASSIS. NO USER- SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TOQUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
THIS SYMBOL IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE OF NON-INSULATED “DANGEROUS VOLTAGE” WITHIN THE PRODUCT’S ENCLOSURE THAT MAY BE OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE TO CONSTITUTE A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK TO PERSONS
WHAT SETS THE A1000 APART
The AlUUU from Acoustic represents a paradigm shift in acoustic instrument amplification. Designed to sound great for acoustic guitars, other acoustic instruments, and vocals, it also has been engineered to provide extreme portability, due to the incorporation of a Class-D power section and neodymium speakers, resulting in 30-40% less weight than traditional amplifiers. We put a lot of thought and effort into selecting exactly the right components and designing a product that will be easy to adjust so you can quickly find the voice of your instrument and project it beyond your personal performance space. Here are a few of the features that we put into the ATOOU to make sure your sound is great, and portable –
- 2 X 50 watt stereo output for true stereo sound more than enough power for most venues
- Two 8 NEODYMIUM coaxial design studio monitor-style speakers for extended frequency response and true stereo imaging
- Two discreet channels, each featuring dual combo XLR-1/4″ inputs for use with instruments or vocals
- 3-Band EQ with sweepable mid-range on each channel so you can dial in the perfect sound
- Full function digital effects with editable parameters and LCD readout for EACH CHANNEL!
- Auxiliary Bluetooth connectivity: play backing tracks directly from your mobile device!
- DSP-based AUTOMATIC feedback elimination
- Effects Loop
- Two full-featured direct outputs LWA channels with qround lift, prelpost EQ and level
- Connect each DI output to powered speakers to send a true stereo signal to your front of house PAL
No matter what your style of playing or choice of acoustic instrument, you will find that your A1000 will capture and project the very best of your musical voice.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR NEW AMPLIFIER
LOCATION
- To avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage, do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, high-temperature sources, or excessive humidity.
POWER SUPPLY
- Turn the power switch off when the Al1000 is not in use.
- The AC cable should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the A1000 will not be used for an extended period of time.
- Avoid plugging the AC cable into an AC outlet that is also powering high-consumption appliances such as electric heaters or televisions. Also avoid using multi- plug adapters since these can reduce sound quality, cause operation errors, and result in possible damage.
- To avoid damage, turn off the AlU0U power switch and all related devices prior to connecting or disconnecting cables.
HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
- Never apply excessive force to any parts.
- Unplug cables by gripping plugs firmly. Do not pull on cables.
- Physical shocks caused by dropping or bumping can result in serious damage.
CLEANING
- Clean with a dry, soft cloth.
- A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt
- Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
- The A1000 contains electronic circuitry that may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the Al000 further away from the affected equipment.
SERVICE AND MODIFICATION
- There are no user-serviceable parts in the A1000.
- Do not attempt to open the A1000 or make any change to circuits or parts. This will void the warranty.
FRONT PANEL
-
INPUTS – combination 4″ 2-conductor instrument cable) or XLR 3 or 4-conductor microphone]
-
PHANTOM POWER (-48U) – this switch enables a -48 volt DC to send on PIN 1 of an XLR cable to power condenser microphones.
-
VOLUME CONTROLS – these adjust the overall loudness of the corresponding input. If your acoustic instrument has a preamp, you should set the Volume control on your instrument to about half volume. You can then adjust the amplifier volume to your normal playing level and still have room to increase or decrease your volume as needed from the instrument.
-
EQUALIZATION
