Aer Domino 2A

Domino 2A is a combo for acoustic instruments from the renowned German brand AER. Compared to the Compact series it has more power, volume and number of channels. Its sound character completely honours the sound of the instrument being recorded, i.e. it is neutral and transparent, not emphasizing certain frequencies. It gets along equally well with piezoelectric pickups, magnetic pickups and microphones. It is thus perfectly suited for larger clubs and concert halls.

The power of the combo is provided by two 60 watt amplifiers with a total output of 100 watts. The unit has four channels with two instrument and two XLR/jack combo inputs. The combined input allows the connection of a microphone or another acoustic instrument. The channels are equipped with a three-band EQ and an Eff Send control that determines the ratio of clean signal to effect distortion (Channels 3,4 share a common EQ). The Colour button is used to further adjust the sound.

The combo includes a built-in digital effects processor. It offers sixteen different types of effects based on reverb, delay, chorus and ambience effects. The respective rotary knob is used to control them, the Effect Return potentiometer determines the intensity of the effect distortion. Of course, external pedal effects can also be connected to the combo via an effects loop. This gives you plenty of options to enhance the sound of your acoustic instrument or vocals and add another sonic dimension.

On the rear panel, the combo offers an effects loop input/output and outputs for footswitch, tuner or headphones. A symmetrical DI output sends the signal from the combo directly to a mixing desk or recording device. Two stereo L/R outputs allow you to connect active external speakers to the combo, the output signal level is adjusted by the Pre Master control independent of the combo's overall volume setting (Master Volume). The Insert connector can be used as an additional line in/out or to connect the combo to AER instruments equipped with Insert connectors. The aux in stereo input connects a CD/Mp3 player or other audio source to the combo. This way you can support your performance with background music. The combo also offers the option of phantom power, with a standard power supply using a EURO mains cable.

The cabinet of the combo is made of fifteen millimeter wide Finnish birch plywood. At the heart of the cabinet are two eight-inch double-diaphragm speakers and an inch tweeter. All AER combos come with a padded case.
