About the
CA-1P/1PD:
D
esigned for the performing artist as
well as the studio musician, Crate's
CA-1P/1PD Acoustic Preamplifier
gives you more of what you want: micro-
phone-quality sound, without feedback. And
without being "chained" to a mic stand!
The CA-1P/1PD features two independ-
ent channels, each with its own gain, eq
and reverb/ effects controls, contained in
an easily interpreted single rack space pack-
age. Channel one features an "Active /
Piezo" switch to properly match the pick-
ups of your instrument, a "Shape" control
for a richer sound and a 3-band rotary EQ.
An easy-to-use feedback elimination circuit
with frequency select and cut controls lets
you kill feedback without sacrificing sound
quality. Plus a foot-switchable chorus with
depth and rate controls.
Channel Two offers both low and high
impedance inputs and allows the use of a
rhythm machine, background tape, a high
or low-Z mic, or another instrument.
On the rear panel, a footswitch jack is pro-
vided for the reverb and chorus. Level-con-
trollable XLR and 1/4" balanced line out-
puts allow you to patch into house sound
boards or recording consoles, plus an
effects loop line-in/line-out setup allows
connection of external effects. In addition,
there's a stereo Headphone jack, direct
Channel Output jacks, and a Stereo Input
jack.
Our optional On-Board Digital Sound
Processing (DSP) offers a variety of digital
reverbs, effects and delays specifically
designed for acoustic instruments, and
available on Crate's CA-1P/PD.
The CA-1P/1PD was designed by musi-
cians and music-loving engineers. Highly
sophisticated computer-driven assembly
machines and highly skilled assemblers use
only the finest components to produce each
preamp. The final assembled product is test-
ed – and played – by skilled musician/tech-
nicians. It is only after the preamp has passed
this barrage of testing by very particular peo-
ple that it gets packed up and shipped out.
