AER Alpha
AER Alpha

The Alpha AER redefines the starting point of acoustic amplification. Based on the experience with the Compact 60 AER developed an even smaller lightweight model that has no difficulties living up to the rigors of the road. Coming with the usual quality standard (without renunciation of High-End), the Alpha is a full sized member of the AER product family. Open sounding and quick in response, this amp masters different ranges and is thus not afraid of bigger instruments.Small in dimensions. Clever in technology and design. Powerful and impressive.

40 Watts, 1 single channel with 2 inputs. XLR DI Out, single reverb. Carry bag with shoulder strap and 3 large pockets included.

"The Alpha is a great practice amp or stage monitor where a single channel will suffice. Same great AER sound and the smallest and lightest of their offerings." - Paul Heumiller

AER Domino/2
AER Domino/2

Imagine 2 Compact 60s put together...

The AER Domino is based on the Compact 60 design. It incorporate two separate amplifiers and offers three complete channels and 4 total inputs. High end input stages mic, line, high/low attenuation, gain control, insert, pre master out, stereo widening ... 2x60 Watts/4 ohms, 2x8" twin-cone speaker. 16 32bit digital effect presets.

The Domino essentially consists of two Compact 60s, two 8"-twin-cone speaker-systems, two times 60 watts, four channels, 16 digital effects, plus introducing the possibility to link via insert, mute channels and connect a full range-system for PA via pre-master-outs. AER becomes a complete system that couples stage and environment. The idea is a success. AER won the MIPA Award 2001 for the best acoustic guitar amp.

"The Domino is a great choice for the multi-instrumentalist, guitarist who using multiple instruments in a show or a small group looking for a single box PA that's easy to carry and setup. The sound is the same clear, natural voice as the Compact 60 but the larger cabinet, 2 dual cone speakers and 4 inputs make for a wider frequency response and ability to blend many instruments/voices. It's a little bit heavier but still easier to carry at 40 lbs." - Paul Heumiller

AER AG8/6a Monitor
AER AG8/6a Monitor

The AG8 is an acoustic-monitor amplifier with three inputs, line, mic, RCA, gain controls, combined XLR, 6.3 mm input socket. Hybrid 60W/4 ohm, 8"-twin cone speaker system. The AG8 shows that AER acoustic systems are not only "combo" amplifiers. Because of their audio qualities they can be excellently used as PA and monitor systems. The AG8 marks a starting point here and is thus often used as supplement for AER amplifiers, e.g. for the Compact 60. It is an independent reproductional sound system connectable with mixing consoles, hi-fi-sources, electric guitar modelling amps - and especially stage or keyboard monitor.

"The AG8 is a great choice for the player seeking a versatile extra speaker that can be used as an extension speaker or a wedge monitor on the floor. We suggest keeping one in your car and if the venue requires more distribution bring it in and extend your Compact 60, or if it's noisy and you need a personal monitor put it on the floor wedge style. It's also great if a surprise guest need an amp to use." - Paul Heumiller
