Introducing the Elite Acoustics A1-8 BP, a top - notch three - channel battery - powered acoustic guitar amplifier in black. Since 2018, it has been outfitted with the same Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries and protective/charging circuits as the A6 - 55. LiFePO4 batteries are a smart choice. They offer excellent safety features and long - lasting durability. Unlike Lithium Ion (Li+) or Lithium Polymer Batteries (LiPO or Li - Poly), LiFePO4 batteries are thermally and chemically stable, reliable, and free from the risk of lithium fires. With a longer shelf life than many other battery types, these batteries are safely enclosed in a metal cage and protected by multiple battery protection circuits, such as over - voltage protection, thermal shutdown, over - charge protection, and over - drain protection. They are also UL safety - approved and MSDS - certified. The A1 - 8 has an 80 - watt total output and offers various input options, including High Z input, GNG lift for XLR outputs, 1 Class - A Mic, and 2 Line inputs. It also comes with +48V Phantom Power, 16 selectable digital effects, and an auxiliary input. Designed and assembled in the USA, it guarantees high quality and reliability. Dimensions are 12.13” W x 11.13” H x 10.55” D, and it weighs 20 lbs.
Using the Elite Acoustics A1 - 8 BP amplifier is easy. First, make sure the LiFePO4 batteries are fully charged. You can use the included charging circuit for this. Connect your acoustic guitar to the appropriate input, like the High Z input. If you're using a microphone, plug it into the Class - A Mic input. You can adjust the sound using the various controls on the amplifier. For different effects, select from the 16 digital effects available. The auxiliary input allows you to connect other audio sources. When it comes to safety, always keep the amplifier in a well - ventilated area to prevent overheating. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or moisture. The battery has multiple protection circuits, but still, avoid over - charging or over - draining it. For maintenance, clean the amplifier with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Check the battery connections occasionally to ensure they are secure. If you're not using the amplifier for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place with the batteries removed.
