Main Features - Roland Acoustic Chorus AC-60 Owner's Manual

Main Features

The AC-60 is a compact, high-performance monitor amp developed exclusively for use with acoustic instruments.
It fully presents the harmonic richness of tone characteristic of acoustic instruments.
Compact, High-Performance Stereo
Amp
• Comes equipped with two specially developed 16-cm
(6.5-inch) wide-range speakers.
• Features stereo output (30 W + 30 W).
• Housed in a bass-reflex cabinet.
Features Two Independent Channels,
GUITAR and MIC/LINE
• Each channel includes a 3-band equalizer.
• GUITAR channel handles both piezo and magnetic
pickups.
• The MIC/LINE channel features phantom power,
utilizing highly reliable, dedicated 48 V-output phantom
circuitry.
• Using the MIC/LINE channel for LINE input allows you
to connect guitars with magnetic pickups. You can use a
single guitar's piezo and magnetic pickups
simultaneously and mix (blend) the sounds together.
High-Quality Digital Effects
• Includes three types of stereo chorus: "SPACE,"
whereby the chorus is synthesized in actual space;
"RICH," in which the amount of the effect is applied
separately in each frequency range; and "WIDE," which
provides an enhanced sense of expansiveness using
discrete frequency bands.
• Includes stereo reverb developed especially for acoustic
instruments, which gives a sense of spaciousness and
natural body to the sound.
• Also features a delay effect developed especially for
acoustic instruments, which produces a soft, tuned
sound.
• Furthermore, you can connect an optional foot switch
and use it to turn these effects on and off.
Anti-Feedback Suppresses Feedback
• Anti-feedback features two ways to detect the feedback
point, using the "Manual settings," or the "Auto
settings," which allow the feedback point to be detected
automatically.
• You can connect an optional foot switch and use your
foot to operate this feature.
6
Mute Function
• The Mute switch provided makes it easy for you to mute
the sounds for the AC-60's own speakers as well as the
sounds from LINE OUT. By using the Mute function,
you can plug in and out noiselessly at the guitar.
Furthermore, when you have a tuner connected to
TUNER OUT, the Mute function lets you tune your
instrument without outputting any sound.
• You can connect an optional foot switch and use your
foot to turn this on and off.
External Input Jacks (AUX IN)
• Includes external input jacks, allowing you to connect a
CD player, backing machine, or other device in stereo.
• These include both RCA phono jacks and 1/4" phone
jacks, making it possible to connect just about any kind
of device.
Multiple Output Connectors
• Features DI out that allow you to output directly the
signals input from connected instruments and mics. You
can also connect a tuner. Compatible with TRS balanced
output.
• Line outs feature 1/4" phone mono-output jacks in
addition to XLR connectors for stereo output. You can
use a single AC-60 for all applications.
• It also features a subwoofer out. Connecting a powered
subwoofer allows you to play with an even punchier,
more powerful low end.
• The amp also includes a headphones out that you can
use when playing during nighttime hours and when
making sound checks.
Convenient Placement Features
• Includes an "folding stand" that allows you to change
the angle of the amp when using it for monitoring
purposes.
• It also includes a "speaker stand adapter," which allows
you to attach the AC-60 to a speaker stand. This makes
using the AC-60 easier when you are performing
standing up, and allows you to use the amp as a simple
PA.
• Also included is a carrying case for greater portability.
