1. Introduction
Welcome to B!
Thank you for choosing the Compact 603.
The Compact 603 is a professional, compact and
powerful amplier system. Especially developed
for the enhancement of acoustic instruments it is
nonethe-less suitable for other instruments, even
electrical ones.
Our design concept was focused on the singer-/
songwriter who requires outstanding reproduction
of his/her instrument and vocals yet needs a handy
unit with gigbag which is easily portable (even via
public transport). We sought to produce an amp that
would accomplish this while astonishing audiences
as well as sound-engineers through excellent sound
and professional instrumentation.
All AER-systems are subtly dynamically controlled,
which ensures absolute reliability in full load operation despite strikingly small sizes and little weight.
Read on and have fun using your Compact 603!
