Avante Audio Achromic AS8 AC/DC 1000W Battery-Powered Active Column PA System (Black)

The Avante Audio Achromic AS8 AC/DC is an easy-to-setup, battery-powered active column system with Bluetooth, which delivers quality sound and ease of use for solo performers, and mobile entertainers playing in small venues. The system comprises an active 8" neodymium subwoofer enclosure alongside two column units. One column is loaded with six precision-aligned 2.75" neodymium drivers while the other serves as a spacer to lift the speaker column up to optimal height. The Class-D power amplifier delivers 1000W of peak power.

Use the 4-channel built-in mixer to connect a variety of sources, including dynamic microphones, guitars, keyboards, dj mixers, mobile devices, and more. The Bluetooth 5.0 stereo audio connection enables wireless streaming of music from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Each channel has its own level control and you can shape your overall sound with the 2-band master equalizer. Route the unit's XLR output to an installed PA system, analog mixer, or audio recorder.

This lightweight system can be easily transported in a small car and comes with a padded bag for carrying and protecting the column units. It operates self-contained on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, providing an average run time of 4 to 5 hours at full charge. Alternatively, it can be plugged in using the universal power supply.
