About the Crate Acoustic CA125D:

D

esigned for the performing artist, Crate�s CA125D 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 50-watt RMS power amplifiers drive a pair of specially designed high fidelity 8� low frequency transducers for plenty of volume and low end punch. More clarity: a separate 25-watt RMS power amp drives a highly efficient Piezo tweeter for clean crisp highs and natural midrange blend. A tweeter level control on the rear panel allows you to adjust the high frequency output to suit your taste. More control: three independent channels, each with its own gain and reverb/effects controls. The main Instrument channel features an �Active/Piezo� switch to properly match the pickups of your instrument, plus a three-band rotary EQ with variable contour � for total control of the critical midrange frequencies. 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 for both kinds of microphones, with phantom power on the Low-Z input. The third �Aux� channel allows the use of a rhythm machine, background tape, or another mic or instrument.

Still more: The master section features reverb and effects return controls, a five-band graphic EQ, 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 linein/line-out setup allows connection of external effects. Enough already? Not for us. The CA125D features Crate�s Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for a variety of digital reverbs, effects and delays specifically designed for acoustic instruments.

The CA125D 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.
