Community
Load you own audio file and play along to your favourite riffs. With the phrase trainer you can speed up, slow down and loop sections of a song to practice.

Tuner The INSIDER tuner is chromatic and therefore provides a very accurate reading of the note being played. It will indicate the closest note to the note being played and will also indicate how far away from the note it is.

NEW IN FROM
FBT VERTUS CLA FBT VERTUS CLA was created with the thought of integrating professional line array technology in an extremely compact and elegant speaker column. Compared to the traditional two-way speakers, the sound is distributed much more evenly throughout the audience, both in outdoor and in indoor environments acoustically difficult or reverberating as well. The CLA cylindrical wave front boasts the pleasant effect of present and precise forwardly projected sound. Even acoustic feedback towards microphones is reduced. VERTUS CLA is a light and compact modular line array system created for both live and fixed installations, comprised by two products: VERTUS CLA is a true professional line array system that can satisfy the musician looking for a compact PA solution, easily to carry, modular, ready to use in just minutes with no-compromise quality. It is capable of being integrated into any environment or installation requiring high-quality sound and controlled directional characteristics.
CLA 604a: bi-amp two-way active column speakers 400 + 100W RMS CLA 208Sa: active subwoofer 600W RMS CLA SYSTEM FEATURES: - High-level sound quality from 50Hz to 20kHz expressly developed for live performance - Long distance sound projection and better SPL distribution towards the audience - Great and dynamic power performance thanks to tri-amplification system - Lightweight and easy to carry - Design and elegance for an easy integration even in the most demanding installations - Very compact dimensions enable the listener to concentrate on sound and not on speakers! - High horizontal dispersion
