Musicians frequently perform in smaller, intimate settings where they sing and play an instrument. These instrumental-vocal performances require clear, high quality sound amplification, and features for supporting both microphone and instrument inputs. We have been looking at this application since 2003, especially focusing on the guitarist-singer application, considering ways to improve the sound, make the required equipment as small and light as possible, and bring the cost down so that even part-time musicians could afford a premium solution. The result of our work is the BagAmp.
BagAmp is a fully
self-contained sound reinforcement system for live
guitar-vocal performances that weighs about
25.4-pounds, including the bag and folding stand. Its
overall size is a miniscule 3.5" x 36" x 8.7". Setting
up for a gig with BagAmp is as easy as making one trip
with your guitar or other instrument in one hand and
the BagAmp over your shoulder. The case even has extra
space for your mic, mic stand, pedals and other
accessories.
BagAmp's patent pending design uses eight
BagAmp-designed full-range 75mm Audio Piston™
loudspeaker drivers in a vertical line array
configuration to produce breathtaking sound quality
evenly projected across your audience, to the farthest
depths of the room. Hearing a BagAmp performance for
the first time is a pleasantly shocking experience any
musician will enjoy. The most frequent reaction is,
"How can that much sound come from that small product?"
BagAmp Features
BagAmp has been designed with the focus on sonic
performance, and the understanding that today's
musicians use their favorite outboard mixing, DI,
effects and other sound modification products. So,
rather than waste your money on second-rate "features",
we have invested into solidly delivering the basics,
with our main focus on sound quality.
BagAmp's multi-input dual-channel preamp section
provides two identical channels that each accepts a
1/4" instrument input, an XLR mic input (with or
without 48VDC phantom power), or an XLR line level
input (with or without a -10dB level matching pad).
Both channels provide a gain control knob, a simple EQ
knob, and a basic hall reverb. The rear panel provides
an XLR jack for line level output to a sub, a mixer, a
recording feed, or a house PA, with a ±10dB level
adjustment for signal matching.
Perfection Extended
BagAmp is perfect not only for the guitarist, but for
anyone seeking a highly portable vocal or music PA
system -- from public speakers, to various
instrumentalists, to auctioneers, to sales or
conference users. BagAmp is the right choice for any
small venue mobile PA requirement.
