About the Crate Acoustic

CA112:

Designed for the performing artist, Crate’s CA112 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 50-watt RMS power amplifiers drive a specially designed dual voice coil 12” low frequency transducer for plenty of volume and low end punch.

More clarity: a separate 25-watt RMS power amp drives a highly efficient Piezo tweeter for clean crisp highs and natural midrange blend. A tweeter level control on the rear panel allows you to adjust the high frequency output to suit your taste.

More control: three independent channels, each with its own gain and reverb/effects controls. The main Instrument channel fea- tures an “Active/Piezo” switch to properly match the pickups of your instrument, plus a three-band rotary EQ with variable contour – for total control of the critical midrange fre- quencies. An easy-to-use feedback elimination circuit with frequency select and cut controls lets you kill feedback without sacrificing sound quality. Plus a footswitchable chorus with depth and rate controls.

microphones, with phantom power on the Low-Z input. The third “Aux” channel allows the use of a rhythm machine, background tape, or another mic or instrument.

Still more: The master section features reverb and effects return controls, a five-band graphic EQ, and the master level control. A footswitch jack on the rear panel provides control for reverb and chorus. Level-control- lable 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 exter- nal effects.

The CA112 was designed, evaluated, and tweaked by musicians and music loving engi- neers. Highly sophisticated computer driven assembly machines and highly skilled assem- blers use only the finest components to pro- duce each amp. Every cabinet 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.
