Hohner Guitar Amplifiers

I use it for guitar amplifiers and home appliances - have been working great.

Using it for guitar but appears to suit small amplifiers well.

I bought to of these to run as a stereo pair for guitar amplifiers in a live environment. They are terrific! They handle whatever two 100 watt amps can throw at them and do not color the sound in any sort of negative manner. They definitely let the amps tone shine right through. I went from two classic Sm57s to these and I just notice more clarity and detail than I did with the 57s. Mic placement is a breeze. I spent all of 5 minutes with a pre-recorded loop figuring out the most natural sound and its very easy to find the large sweetspot with these mics. Again, the 57 does not have a huge sweet spot.

Since obtaining this microphone, I have used it to mic up two different guitar amplifiers to good effect. Overall, the sound is warm and the bass response becomes more pronounced the closer it is placed to the grille cloth. Positioning the mic around six inches away produces a more balanced and useable sound IMHO. I have yet to try this mic with a Cloudlifter, which I believe should, when used in conjunction with the Fat Head II, yield a better, hotter signal.

I use the surge protector to power my guitar amplifiers and other accessories in my home recording studio. The long power cord affords me the ability to move the surge protector around the room without hassle. Lots of outlets and slim profile. Also a major plus is the low profile/right angle plug which fits flat against the wall allowing furniture to be pushed closer to the wall.

We are using these cables to chain amplifiers together and they work great.

If these amplifiers give you what you ask for, they are great, a clean and strong sound.

I use this product to connect power amplifiers to a speaker network.

Works great. Was able to use to secure 2 amplifiers from tampering with volume controls.

From a listening perspective, there is really no difference in the sound reproduction between the Crown XLS 1000 & 1002 series of power amplifiers ... both easily meeting an audiophile's criterion of a perfect amplifier ... a straight wire with gain. The most visible difference with the XLS 1002 Amp series is the symmetrical restyling of the front panel with a larger & brighter centrally-placed LCD display, clipping indicators & controls. The front air vents have also been re-positioned to provide more efficient cooling. Apart from a new pair of AUX connectors (for the sleep mode), the back panel's input/output connectors are unchanged. Not readily visible, but several enhancements have been made to the menu options. In addition to the older XLS 1000 menu options for configuring the amp outputs & cross-over frequencies, one can now ... select between an input sensitivity of 1.4 Volts (default) and 0.75 Volts, set a time-delay to put the LCD display to sleep, toggle on & off the blue front panel lights and the green signal level indicators, and lock the menu buttons. These are all nifty new enhancements, but one needs to bear in mind that there is no significant audible differences in the the sound performance between the two series of XLS Crown amplifiers ... both are amazing performers. A note to Canadian buyers ... due to some unspecified reason, B&H cannot ship any of the Crown XLS series of amplifiers to Canada. However one can order them online from a Canadian supplier, e.g., Axe Music Inc. or Moog Audio.
