Marshall

The AS100D has been specially designed for use with a variety of acoustic instruments, regardless of whether they have pickups built in or not. Between its 4 channels, this combo has the flexibility to handle instruments with piezo transducers or magnetic pickups, plus microphones, for both vocal and instrument reproduction.

The 2 main acoustic instrument channels [1 and 2] may be linked together and feature independent level and EQ controls. The dedicated microphone channel offers a similar level of control. The AS100D also has phono inputs on the Auxiliary channel, specifically for use with external audio equipment.

Its 2x50-Watt stereo configuration gives you enough power to perform on stage with superb clarity, while the provision of a balanced line out allows you the luxury of direct connection to an external PA system for larger concerts.

The superb quality of the built-in digital effects for Reverb, Delay, and Chorus, adds an entirely new dimension to the range of sounds available. The AS100D is actually the first ever Marshall combo to feature digital effects, but it certainly wont be the last! Should you want to add further effects, there is a parallel effects loop complete with level control.

One of the most difficult aspects of amplifying acoustic instruments is feedback. To help eliminate this, the AS100D features several "anti-feedback" controls, including a Phase switch for each channel and frequency controllable Notch Filters with selectable extra depth for channels 1 and 2.

For clear and detailed performance, the AS100D is loaded with (2) 8 in. speakers and 2 high fidelity polymer dome tweeters. There is also an internal limiter that allows you to push the maximum level from the stereo 50-Watt output stage, while remaining distortion-free.

Compact and portable, the stylish AS100D offers great flexibility and is the ideal amplifier for the acoustic player who wants the highest quality performance, with absolutely natural tonal reproduction.

The Marshall AS100D gives you the power to perform, but with sound so natural you'll forget you're even plugged in!

New for 2007, Marshall is proud to present the AS50D. Built upon the award-winning AS50R, this superb amplifier features a new tweeter, a phantom-powered microphone channel, digital chorus and reverb. The new AS50D allows you to express your emotions with passion.

This compact and highly portable combo features two channels, each of which has its own independent volume and tone controls. A variety of inputs give the AS50D the ability to handle all-comers: the high-impedance input on Channel 1 is perfect for piezo or magnetic pickups. Channel 2 boasts RCA phono inputs plus a balanced phantom-powered XLR-type input in addition to its jack input, making it the perfect host for voice, instrument, or even backing track. The AS50D also contains a high-quality digital effects section featuring an adjustable Chorus which can be assigned to either or both channels, also a reverb. It also has a parallel Effects Loop that can be balanced between the two channels.

One of the most difficult aspects of amplifying certain acoustic instruments is feedback. Therefore, anti-feedback controls include a Phase switch and a frequency-controllable Notch Filter. Another useful AS50D feature is an internal Limiter which allows you to drive the maximum level from the 50-watt power stage, yet remain distortion free. Neat and affordable, flexible and portable, the AS50D is ideal for the acoustic musician who wants an amp which is perfectly suited to intimate gigs.
