PACKLITETM POWER AMPLIFIER MODEL A1

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the PackLiteTM power amplifier Model
A1 and joining the many thousands of musicians worldwide using
the Personalized Amplification System™ family of products.

This small, lightweight, powerful, and easy-to-use amplifier inter­faces quickly with the Bose

®

PS1 power stand and B1 bass mod­ules to provide high bass output for demanding instruments such
as bass guitar and drums.

The connections are quick and easy: plug in the AC cord, 
connect the A1 to the PS1 power stand, and play. When the A1 is
used together with the Cylindrical Radiator® loudspeaker, no
time-consuming adjustments are required. The components act
as a system and automatically adjust bass output for more level
and headroom, while maintaining consistent tone regardless of
how many B1 bass modules are being used. In addition, the A1
can easily drive other passive loudspeakers such as bass guitar
cabinets, subwoofers, studio monitors, and floor monitors (see
“Using the A1 in other applications” on page 10 for details).

We trust you’ll enjoy another member of the critically acclaimed
Personalized Amplification System™ family of products. This
new amplifier, like every member of the family, is designed with
the lives of working musicians in mind.
