Deluxe versions of the Unico and David portable acoustic amplifiers are now available
Switzerland - Acoustic amplification systems manufacturer Schertler has announced that the Deluxe versions of its popular Unico and David portable acoustic amplifiers are now available. The three-channel Unico Deluxe and two-channel David Deluxe have been re-engineered to deliver "outstanding transparency, clarity, warmth and accuracy of sound, while offering a feature set that has been specially designed to suit any acoustic performance situation".

Both models contain a new Class A preamplifier (with no integrated circuits), re-engineered power amp and new hi-end speakers. A hi-end headphone preamp has also been added. A further innovation is the inclusion of intelligent inputs that will automatically recognise the impedance of the pickup or microphone, with no DI box or buffer required. Each channel has a four-band EQ and a special dedicated filter. Peak LEDs are also fitted on each channel, with LED indicators on phantom power. A -15dB Pad is fitted to the STAT channel, while the MIC/DYN channels include phase reverse.

Weighing in at 19kg, Unico Deluxe offers 280 Watts of bi-amplified power capability. The more compact David Deluxe (weighing approx 13kg) delivers 150 Watts. Both models are designed to be compatible with all current microphone / transducer brands.
