Across the world, acoustic instruments have come into

focus. All kinds of instruments from traditional to modern can be enjoyed in solo or ensemble settings and
within all musical styles. Yet as little plugged in the
unplugged may be, authentic amplification is the key!
Every instrument deserves to be clearly heard in its natural beauty. Since 1992 we at AER have never let go our
passion for instruments, music, tone and that little bit
extra we can add on top to push things further, perform
better, be ahead we just love it.
Be sure all issues will be dealt in a quick, uncomplicated

and satisfying way. If you ask us for recommendation
please understand, we will always say what we believe
in besides that and the fog out there, there is no way
other, for you personally than getting out there, evaluating yourself, with your instrument in your environment
and talking to people that you trust eye to eye. We do
not want to spoil your pleasure coming to a decision and
enjoying it! If it is with AER fantastic, if not it is more
than OK. It is your decision that counts!
Being regarded the reference class in acoustic amplification (we received five MIPA awards for best acoustic
amps) and with the many positive comments of you,
thrilled and committed musicians, we have a lot of confidence and motivation to keep on going! It is to say
thank you for your support and understanding and for
staying with us even if things take a little longer.
This catalogue gives you an abstract on the AER amp

product range. You may not find every AER product
in each country AER is distributed in for various good
reasons. For inquiries, get in touch with us at
[email protected]
There are many ways for us to explore still, to improve

and get better. We do feel the road has not ended yet,
thus we advance into other fields including musical instruments and accessories. We know little things can make
big difference and be sure if we can hear a difference we
will pass it on to you.
The products are always subject to change without

notice. Attached Arabic numbers indicate major version
changes (e.g. concept), small indexes indicate model updates effecting e. g. speakers, amps or effects.
We hope it helps a bit.
Besides this we will maintain what we are doing: deliver extraordinary solutions for musicians from the instrument to the loudspeaker. We are very serious about
what we do, how we do it and where we do it a lot of
research, well thought out concepts, exquisite components and materials, high manufacturing standards and
quality control. We respect musical instruments, we care
about you and your musical needs. You can talk to us
and you will find that there are specialists close to you.
AER products are no commodities. You will find them in
qualified, serious and passionate stores for musical instruments in your country. People there are experienced
to answer your questions and they provide the opportunity to help you make up your mind. They are backed up
by a network of excellent distributors who are responsible for AER in your country.

The Compact Classic pro is aimed at classical players and their

instruments. Compared to the Compact 60, the Compact Classic
benefits from an improved 2-way-speaker system, a more complex three band EQ with parametric bass and the 32bit AER digital effect processor with carefully designed presets for classical
instruments.
All the features combine perfectly to more allow for the finer
tonal texture of a classical instrument throughout the full audio
band. It enhances the low frequency response without increasing feedback risk and creates beautiful ambiences that enrich
the tone.

Musicians often asked us for a system for acoustic instruments
that provides AER sound and quality everywhere independent from the mains.
This is exactly what the Compact mobile has been developed
for. Based on the Compact 60, thus identical in sound, but with
adapted technology and slightly changed dimensions you can
play without the mains for three to four hours. Whether you chose to play in the old town or on a glacier, the sound is always
clear and omnipresent.
In case of insufficient battery power the intelligent power control gives a warning and saves you from lack of power during
performance. Moreover it prevents the batteries from being
completely exhausted.

The Domino started out as mono, multi-channel acoustic solution for bigger stages. It allows 4 signals at the same time and
is fully equipped to work as an orchestersystem for small and
medium sized venues especially in combination with the active
extensions AS 281.
To maintain almost the same sound quality we decided to multiply the soundsystems rather than using standard configurations
like 12 and tweeter for higher volumes. Thus the Domino is equipped with two 8 twin cone speakers and two combined 60 watt
amps working as a 100 watt power unit. This gives him the accuracy in the midrange and the speed for a realistic and vivid sound.

In its 3rd generation now we have implemented advanced

dynamic control technology and extended the dynamic range
substantially. The new two-way speaker system is an incredible improvement too! It allows a much clearer and defined bass
response and much lighter, more sparkling reproduction of the
complete range up to finest texture.
Cube 3 is a full two channel version now allowing identical features on both channels. It needed a face-lift for more operational
clarity and to allow additional important controls on the front
panel.
In essence we have combined all the suggestions of Cube
enthusiasts over the years with all our knowledge and experiencewithout compromise and we are more than pleased.

The BassCube 2 has proven to do an excellent job to reproduce
double bass authentically.
Well balanced analogue sound design covers the ranges gently and proportionately so that tone always stays clear, crisp and
transparent yet powerful and defined without any stress!
Its two channels are equally equipped and allow two different
instruments set up in all comfort and be sure it works very well
for electric bass too.
Whether arco or pizzicato the BassCube 2 sounds like your
bass: round and open you can hear the stroke of your bow as
true to life as the placing of your fingers on the fingerboard.

The Basic Performer is a solution for Bass and instruments of

the lower registers based on the experience of multiplying well
proven AER acoustic systems.
Small twin-cone systems are fast, provide a superior coverage
for the critical mid-range and have enough substance in the low
end.
The AER band-pass/bass-reflex cabinet design supports the
reproduction of even the lowest frequencies with definition.
High-End preamps, proper filters and additional professional
sound design make the Basic Performer a multitalented alround
solution.
The sound characteristics are full range thus open and light
yet breathing as well as grumbling and surprisingly appropriate
for far more instruments than the bass-related instruments, e. g.
harp, cello, accordion

amps. In line with Amp one, but with more defined speakersystem and more power. A 12 neodymium woofer for quick and
full bass response combined with a 4 mid-high direct radiating
speaker for gentle trebles allows a wider range of sounds from
funk to pop and rock to jazz.
As further difference to the Amp one the signal path is lead

With all the experience in acoustics, dynamic control and

sound design AER reaches out into the field of professional electric bass amplification systems and introduces the AER Bottom
Line Head one.
The concept: a small, light-weight two channel class d integrated amplifier head that covers the range from Anglo-saxon
punch to european hifi orientated sounds. Head one can be
used in three operational modes: 2-channel full-range mode,
2-way active mode and bridge-mode in combination with Cab
one, Cab two or Cab three.
It is equipped with tube emulation for drive sounds, two independent EQs, colour-switch and tone leverage. Class d amps
are getting more popular as besides efficiency they can be made
so surprisingly small and light. Besides these benefits they inherit a lot of problems (noise, distortion, cut-off ) especially if they
are used in limit mode. Their overall performance is extremely
depending on the design and the smart use of controls and protections to guarantee proper functionality. We have done a lot
to make that happen!
Thanks to Paul from Bass matters for his time, effort and
advice.

Bottom Line
Loudspeaker Systems
Design features, besides efficiency, light in weight, small in size,

reproduction of a truthfull tone, have mainly been a fast attack
time, low distortion and high power handling. All of this is extremely demanding and requires a lot of attention to all detail.
Cab one is a two way full range loudspeaker system. To extend
the bass range we decided to apply two 10 speakers in pushpull mode. This allows a smaller cabinet size keeping the low
cut-off frequency and thus allows more low end besides performing with less distortion.
Instead of a horn or tweeter, which we are not really friends of,
we trusted the performance of the AER 8 twin cone extended
range chassis to cover the mid and high frequency range.

Cab two is a 15, Cab three a 12 neodymium bass reflex loudspeaker-system. Both work stand alone with Head one. Cab two
in addition is the perfect match to work in conjunction with Cab
one as full stack.

The AG 82 is an active loudspeaker-system making use of

compact system components such as: twin-cone speaker,
power-amp, controller and cabinet.
Without special acoustic voicing the focus is mainly on its superb audio-abilities and thus it offers an additional range of applications as e. g.: floor/stage or keyboard monitor, self powered
full-range P. A. system or in combination with modeling amps
for electric guitar
and for sure it is a valid supplement to any AER acoustic amp
using twin-cone speaker technology.

The AS 550 D mid/high system is a direct radiating coaxial selfpowered systems in a small bass-reflex enclosure. It is capable to
handle multiple applications e.g speech, delay-line or near-field
PA where no sub bass is required. The components are matched,
optimised for maximum efficiency and tuned for superb sound
reproduction.
Through the use of integrated class d amplifier and switch
mode power supplies we can keep size and weight surprisingly
low however electronically well oversized they allow maximum
dynamic range.

The tuned cabinet and the class d power amp with 550 W / 8
ohms permanent power (1000 W impuls power) deliver substantial bass in a very small cabinet. It also allows enough dynamic
headroom for high step response.
Both, top and sub are perfectly matched and tuned and form
an easy to use, lightweight PA system for medium sized applications.
