Acousti-Q
Tube Preamp/Blender for Acoustic Instruments
The Acousti-Q is the first affordable tube-based preamp/blender for acoustic instruments. The Acousti-Q is the perfect
solution to help acoustic musicians bring their personal style and sound to new heights! The Acousti-Q gives you the
choice to use a single (piezo pick-up) or dual (piezo pick-up & mini-internal microphones) source. With two sources, you
can blend the signals to achieve the perfect mix. Guitars, woodwinds, basses, brass instruments – virtually any acoustic
instrument can benefit from the warm tube sound of the Acousti-Q.
The Acousti-Q employs two dual-servo preamplifiers with separate gain controls for input, a phase switch, a 12-volt
phantom power supply to accommodate miniature, internal condenser microphones, a variable notch filter and sweepable
mid-band EQ, as well as low and high shelving EQ controls. The master output section gives you the ability to set two
separate volumes, one for normal volume, and the other, a boost, for solo playing.
