Recording your voice or singing is made easy with AXX 200
If you need to make a voice recording or
even a song demo on-the-fly, the AXX 200
is all you need! The AXX 200 comes with 4
high-quality microphones that deliver an all

rate is at 16 kHz. This is designed
to record longer voice recording
sessions (e.g. meetings) and avoid
large file sizes. You can switch to

Dual-Purpose Battery
l While charging, the AXX 200 does not go into
Standby mode.
lFor optimal charging, it is recommended to
keep the volume low while the AXX 200 is
being charged, or when charging an external
device (e.g.: phone, MP3 player, etc.).
lWhen turned on, some external devices
require a higher charging rate than battery
banks can typically provide. For the quickest
charging time, turn off your external device
before charging it.
lLithium ion battery life may suffer when it is
constantly fully depleted or overexerted at
low voltage. It is a good practice to keep the
battery well charged.
lWhen the battery is low while playing at loud
volumes, the amplifier will intelligently and
automatically adjust the volume to a lower
and appropriate level so as to extend the
battery life.
