| The single-channel Contra integrated
amp and loudspeaker system is designed to accurately reproduce the sound
of all acoustic and electric instruments without the size and weight that
has traditionally be associated with high quality amplification. Flat
frequency response coupled with an extended, tight, well-controlled bass
sound and clarity of reproduction are its principle sonic characteristics.
Its omnidirectional output of frequencies below 800 Hz allows instruments
amplified by the Contra to be easily heard by other musicians across the
bandstand.
Key
features have been designed into the Contra to add flexibility for
various playing situations. These include use of a combo jack input
that allows either a 1/4 inch or XLR input, a parallel effects loop
with a return level control, a selectable notch or low cut filter for
feedback or "boominess" elimination and a balanced direct out with
ground lift and pre/post EQ selection to allow connection to a mixing
board for PA augmentation or recording. A built-in lifter mechanism
allows the cabinet to be tilted to better direct sound to the player's
listening position. A switch for dual voltage operation (115/230V,
50/60 Hz), a detachable power cord, a fitted slip cover with cable
storage and shoulder strap, an optional padded gig bag with shoulder
strap or a hard shell travel case make the unit convenient for the
travelling musician.
