AUDIODESIGN Impact AG 2x8

The Audio Design Pro Impact AG 2x8 is a versatile acoustic guitar amplifier and portable PA system, widely praised by musicians for its clean power, transparent sound, and excellent performance as an FRFR (Full Range Flat Response) monitor for digital modelers like Kemper, Helix, and Fractal.

Key Features

• Power Output: 350 Watts RMS (700 Watts peak power).
• Speaker Configuration: Equipped with dual 8" woofers and a 1" silk dome tweeter.
• Frequency Response: Wide range from 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz, delivering deep lows and crystal-clear highs.
• Versatile Mounting: Dual pole mounts allow for both vertical and horizontal setups.
• Portability: Measures 50x30x32 cm and weighs 15.3 kg (includes a padded gig bag).

Connections and Controls

The rear panel functions as a built-in multi-channel mixer, allowing you to connect multiple instruments and microphones simultaneously:

•  Inputs 1 & 2: Combination XLR/Jack inputs with selectable Line/Mic switches, independent volume, and 3-band EQ.
• Inputs 3 & 4: Stereo RCA and 3.5mm mini-jack inputs for backing tracks or external audio devices.
• Outputs: XLR Balanced Out (with Mix/Ch1 switch) to connect to a larger PA, and a dedicated Headphone output.
• Global Controls: Master volume, Notch filter to eliminate acoustic feedback, and Ground Lift switch to remove hums.

Intended Use
While originally designed for acoustic instruments and vocals, its flat frequency response makes it highly sought after as a stage monitor for guitar modelers, ensuring your digital presets sound exactly as intended without any speaker coloration.
