Crate CA15 Cimarron Acoustic Guitar Amplifier, 15 Watts RMS, Dual Inputs, 3 Band EQ with Mid Contour

Crate CA15 Cimarron Acoustic Guitar Amplifier, 15 Watts RMS, Dual Inputs, 3 Band EQ with Mid Contour Review



Crate CA15 Cimarron Acoustic Guitar Amplifier, 15 Watts RMS, Dual Inputs, 3 Band EQ with Mid Contour Feature

  • Crate 8-inch High Fidelity Woofer/Crate Special Coax Tweeter
  • 15 Watts RMS
  • Two Channels
  • 3-Band EQ
  • Spring Reverb with level
  • 3-Band EQ with mid contour
  • 15 Watts RMS, Two Channels
The CA15 Cimarron compact acoustic amplifier delivers 12 watts of pure musical power and has two inputs, each with its own gain control. Three bands of EQ, centered at critical frequencies, provide exceptional tone control and minimize feedback. The CA15 also features a flip-out locking bar underneath the cabinet, allowing you to tilt the amplifier back for use as a personal monitor.

CA15's handy RCA input jacks allow you to plug in a CD or MP3 player so you can practice along with your favorite music¾you can even plug in a pair of headphones. The Crate 8" woofer/piezo tweeter combination delivers smooth, pristine sound with outstanding projection and fidelity. And if you need a little more coverage, just plug another cabinet into the external speaker jack.

Why is it so hard to amplify an acoustic guitar? By its very nature, an acoustic instrument requires lots of feedback control, especially when it's asked to compete with drums and a stage full of rockers. And although most amps can effectively control feedback, they often do so by severely sacrificing tone for volume.

Our CA Series amps give you all the tone and features necessary to put your acoustic sound on top of the mix, whether you're soloing at the Opry or strummin' at the coffeehouse. With its unparalleled balance of clarity, power, natural tone, and intuitive controls, the Crate Acoustic Series remains our most widely endorsed amp line. Try one and you'll see why.

Crate, a division of Loud technologies, Inc has been one of the top manufacturers of high quality, rugged and innovative instrument amplification products since its introduction the 1970's. Among the most regarded and prolific brands in acoustic and electric guitar, keyboard and bass amplification, today's Crate range of products retains its focus on bringing value, reliability and advancement to musicians worlwide.
