About the Crate Acoustic

CA60:

Designed for the performing artist, Crate’s CA60 Acoustic Amplifier gives you more of what you want. More

power. More clarity. More control. And, more freedom. Imagine: microphone quality sound, without feedback. And without being “chained” to a mic stand!

More power: twin 30-watt RMS power amplifiers drive a pair of specially designed high fidelity 6-1/4” transducers for plenty of volume and low end punch.

More clarity: a highly efficient Piezo tweet- er provides clean crisp highs and a natural midrange blend. A tweeter on/off switch on the rear panel allows you to deactivate the high frequency driver if desired.

More control: two independent channels, each with its own gain and reverb/effects controls. The Instrument channel features an “Active/Piezo” switch to properly match the pickups of your instrument, a “Shape” switch for a richer sound, and a three-band rotary EQ. An easy-to-use feedback elimination cir- cuit with frequency select and cut controls lets you kill feedback without sacrificing sound quality. Plus a footswitchable chorus with depth and rate controls.

Still more: The master section features a reverb return control and the master level control. A footswitch jack on the rear panel provides control for reverb and chorus. Level-controllable XLR and 1/4” balanced line outs allow you to patch into house sound boards or recording consoles, plus an effects loop line-in/line-out setup allows connection of external effects.

The CA60 was designed, evaluated, tweaked and redesigned by musicians and music loving engineers. Highly sophisticated computer driven assembly machines and highly skilled assemblers use only the finest components to produce each amp. Every cabi- net is hand-built and hand-covered by trained craftsmen. The final assembled product is tested – and played – by skilled musician/ technicians. It is only after the amplifier has passed this barrage of picky people that it gets packed up and shipped out.
