Product benefits
The main benefit of the Vonyx AM8A lies in its ability to centralize the entire sound system in a single device. By integrating the power amplifier, it reduces the weight and bulk of the equipment to be transported, which is invaluable for touring artists. The inclusion of Bluetooth and a USB player provides exceptional autonomy, allowing you to manage music during breaks or backing tracks directly from the console, without relying on auxiliary cables or external players.
Furthermore, audio quality is guaranteed thanks to its silent preamps and PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) control per channel, which allows the technician to monitor the signal before sending it to the main mix, ensuring perfect levels and avoiding feedback.
Typical use cases
-
Musical groups and duos: Perfect for providing sound for rehearsals or performances in small and medium-sized venues such as bars or terraces.
-
Conferences and public speaking: Ideal for managing multiple desktop or handheld microphones along with multimedia presentation audio.
-
School and sporting events: Its ease of use and power make it suitable for gyms, auditoriums or portable public address systems.
-
Karaoke and private parties: Thanks to its integrated DSP effects for voice and the ease of connecting music from your mobile phone.
