Classical Guitar Amplification
Private event performances usually require amplification for the beautiful sound of the classical guitar. Stacy Arnold uses a state-of-the-art 60-watt amplifier specially designed for the acoustics of the classical guitar by Audio Electric Research (AER) “the Acoustic People”. The AER amplifier is a top of the line amplification provider for the classical guitar due to its ability to provide a sincere transparency to faithfully reproduce the sound of this beautiful instrument. The result is a transparent quality that captures the beautiful acoustics of the classical guitar to provide both elegance and discretion for an ideal musical setting for performances.
In conjunction with the AER amplifier, Stacy Arnold uses the 2Mic Pro internal micing system (inside the guitar instead of an external mic) with the TourMic wireless setup. For classical guitars, this micing setup provides high quality amplification to capture the acoustical sound energy of the guitar in a 3 dimensional fashion and converts this energy into an electronic signal to allow both the guitarist and audience to enjoy full and rich 3-dimensional sound. This allows the acoustic tone of the guitar (and it’s nuances) to be shared with the audience while conveying both the beauty and emotion of the music performed. When properly scaled amplification is applied with discretion, every seat in a concert hall, an indoor or outdoor wedding performance, or a private event performance has a high quality amplified sound where the classical guitar is captured in 3 dimensions.
The TourMic wireless system allows the classical guitar to easily match the volume levels of any orchestral instrument and at the same time, when the guitar is amplified using TourMic wireless system, this system will project the guitars natural acoustic sound ……only louder!
Benefits of the The TourMic wireless system:
- The freedom to be amplified while maintaining the natural acoustic character of the guitar
- The freedom to perform, without feedback, at high volume levels, if needed, such as with an orchestra
- The freedom to perform without being tied to cables, wires, or amplifiers
- The freedom to be able to move about the stage or venue,
- The freedom to be able to set volume and EQ levels during sound check while playing where the audience will later sit within the venue
- The freedom to have effective controls for muting or volume control during a performance.
