Fishman SoloAmp SA220 Performance Amplifier System

Manufacturer's Description for Fishman SA220 SoloAmp Performance Amplifier System

Fishman SoloAmp SA220: The Whole Kit and Caboodle

The magnanimous Fishman SoloAmp SA220 is what is known as a Compact Line Array. Have you ever noticed those giant stacks of speakers suspended from the rafters, above the stage of one of those huge arena rock concerts? Those are known as line arrays, and they operate in such a way to give every audience member in attendance the same tonal quality and volume. The Fishman SoloAmp SA220 acts under the same principles, albeit in a much more lower-back friendly package (the unit weighs in at 25 pounds, and fully packed with case and stand only tips the scale at 35 pounds). With that in mind, feel free to sell your cumbersome and confusing floor wedge monitors, because the Fishman SoloAmp SA220 gives the performer accurate, clear monitoring, all from the same set of drivers that your audience is hearing! Under the hood you'll find six custom-designed four-inch high-excursion speakers and a single one-inch Neodymium soft dome tweeter with its own level control. Together, these elements coalesce to deliver an incredible field of depth, and warmth, belying the modest size of the SoloAmp SA220. With 220 watts of startling power, you'll wonder why you ever even thought about lugging around a larger PA. Listen to a SoloAmp SA220 in person before you decide you miss your old subwoofer--he bass and low mid frequencies pumped out by this Fishman really need to be heard to be believed.

Fishman SoloAmp SA220: Useful Flexibility

The Fishman SoloAmp SA220 offers two independent microphone or instrument channels, with independent triple band equalization and gain controls, low-noise/high-headroom preamps, switchable phantom power, and 10db pads. If you need to add a little extra depth and vibe to your performance, each channel also has independent reverb pots to control one of four selectable reverb types. Feedback is a problem for any performer on any stage, and Fishman knows it, which is why they've built nasty-feedback squashing Phase and Notch filters into the SoloAmp SA220's already feedback deterring world class circuitry. Fishman hasn't left anything out of this design, really gearing the SoloAmp SA220 toward the singer, acoustic guitarist, and electric keyboard player, even including an effects loop, an aux stereo input with level control for backing tracks or MP3 player use, balanced XLR DI outs for both channels and main mix, a footswitchable channel mute, and even a tuner output.

Leave Your Roadie At Home With the Fishman SoloAmp SA220

Pack the 25 pound Fishman SoloAmp SA220 and stand (let's not gloss over that--a free stand is a really sweet added treat) into its included carry bag with built-in wheels and cart the SoloAmp SA220 along to your next few gigs at the local underground bookstore/Vegan cafe--without the need to rent a PA system or pay a soundman. The Fishman SoloAmp SA220 will pay for itself sooner than you can say First Edition Dostoevsky. Thank you, thank you, tip your barista. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Fishman products.
