Overview
The black Avante Audio Achromic AS8 is a column PA system offering multiple configurations to suit floor or stage placement, making it ideal for musicians, vocalists, DJs, presenters, and more. The system is comprised of an active subwoofer enclosure, a passive speaker column, and a column spacer, which can be added or removed to allow compact or extended positions. A Class-D power amplifier delivers 1000W of peak power to the vented 8" neodymium subwoofer and six 2.75" neodymium drivers in the speaker column for an overall system frequency response of 55 Hz to 20 kHz.
Stream audio wirelessly from a mobile device via the built-in Bluetooth receiver, and connect a variety of sources such as a microphone, guitar/bass/keyboard, DJ mixer, and non-Bluetooth device. The integrated mixer allows easy control of channel levels and the 2-band master equalizer. Route the balanced XLR output to an installed PA system, analog mixer, or audio recorder.
Customizable and Powerful
- Active 8" subwoofer enclosure with two column units—one is loaded with six precision-aligned 2.75" drivers, the other serves as a spacer to lift the speaker column up to optimal height
- SAM (Secure Array Mount) system allows the columns to lock securely to the sub and to one another without risk of being toppled over
- SAM connection passes the audio signal from the sub up to the columns, removing the need for speaker cables
- Class-D amplifier delivers 1000W of peak power, and features a switching power design; a built-in limiter for protection against overloading
Multichannel Mixer
- Integrated 3-channel mixer with 2-band EQ
- Built-in Bluetooth audio connection enables wireless streaming of music from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
- Dual XLR-1/4" TRS combo inputs, stereo 1/4" input jacks, and a stereo 3.5mm input
- Balanced XLR line output for connection to a house PA system or an audio recorder
Ready for Travel
- Lightweight polypropylene cabinets with durable steel grilles
- Includes padded bag for carrying and protecting the column units
