Acoustic Instrument Combo Amplifier
UNICO is unique: the perfect amp to reproduce the sound of any acoustic instrument or voice!
Every one of its components, from preamplifiers to loudspeakers, has been designed for natural and accurate response.
Circuitry designed like the circuits found in professional-quality recording studio electronics: you will hear the difference!
New features include variable input gain control (Trim Pot) and additional EQ control on each channel, redesigned cabinet dimensions for improved bass response, and an improved tweeter for an even clearer high end.
UNICO has a built-in analog spring reverb designed using an innovative Class A circuit producing the smooth and musical reverb sound guitarists, violin players and others have been seeking. UNICO's rich reverb is a sound more often found in the concert hall than in the inexpensive digital effects processors of many acoustic amplifiers.
Three inputs provide the flexibility performers have been asking for.
- MIC IN: input for dynamic or condenser microphones, including switchable 48v phantom power.
- DYN IN: an input optimized for connecting microphones or other electrodynamic transducers having low impedance and low level. Perfect for Schertler DYN-Series electrodynamic transducers. Includes 10v switchable phantom power which allows the connection of electret condenser microphones such as the Schertler BLUESTiCK Marine System. Resonance control effective at 180Hz.
- STAT IN: a medium impedance input with optimal sensitivity for high-level audio signals like the Schertler BLUESTiCK undersaddle acoustic guitar pickup, active electric bass and guitars, and similar devices. Includes 10v switchable phantom power which allows the connection of the Schertler STAT-Series electrostatic transducers and BLUESTiCK Marine system.
Each UNICO channel includes the following:
- Equalization, from high to low, allowing a wide range of tonal variations to be explored. DYN IN includes a resonance control effecting a notch cut at 180 Hz.
- Analog spring reverb level. The classic sound of spring reverb adds warmth and depth to any instrument.
- Channel volume control.
UNICO's MASTER SECTION includes:
- DI OUT: balanced output of the master signal for recording or live sound reinforcement -
- LINE OUT: unbalanced output of the master signal. This Signal is controlled by the master volume and may be used to drive active speakers such as the Schertler PUB 2/280 or bass extension PUB 1/380 (low cut engaged).
- AUX OUT: similar to the line out, but regulated separately by the AUX volume. For recording or monitoring. Insert a 1/4" stereo jack used to connect the input and output of outboard signal processors or effects such as equalizers or compressors. Also used for the optional Schertler UNI-Pedal to control the master volume.
- LOW CUT: cuts frequencies below 150 Hz to use the UNICO with an active sub-woofer such as the Schertler PUB 1/380. When the LOW CUT is engaged, UNICO delivers mid and high frequencies while the bass extension transmits the low end.
- MASTER REVERB: Controls the overall system reverb level.
- MASTER VOLUME: Controls the overall system volume level.
