1. Introduction
Welcome to B!
Thank you for choosing the Compact 603.
The Compact 603 is a professional, compact and powerful amplifier 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!
