The Basic Performer is a solution for Bass and instruments of the lower registers based on the experience of multiplying well proven AER acoustic systems.

Regardless of scale lengths, body sizes and resonance problems just to name some trouble zones of acoustic bass instruments – they require the same approach and care to reproduce well balanced and clear registers.

A small twin-cone system seems perfect – it is fast, provides a superior coverage for the critical mid-range and has got enough substance in the bass range. So in the Basic Performer four 8“-twin-cone speakers, individually powered by four 60 watt power amps provide for the required surface area and the necessary sound pressure level.

The AER band-pass/bass-reflex cabinet design supports the reproduction of even the lowest frequencies with definition. Hiend preamps, proper filters and additional professional sound design make the Basic Performer a multitalented all-round solution.

The sound characteristics are full range thus open and light yet breathing as well as grumbling and surprisingly appropriate for far more instruments than the bass-related instruments such as harp, cello, accordion… or even try a jazz guitar!
