ACOUSTIC Amplification The New Standard. 16
www.genzbenz.com GENZ BENZ Acoustic Amplifiers SHENANDOAH Acoustic Pro Since the introduction of the first GENZ BENZ Shenandoah Acoustic amp a few years ago, they have gained immediate notoriety and praise for their thoughtful design, full-feature set and warm, rich reproduction of acoustic guitars and other acoustic instruments. Today, we have expanded that original Shenandoah signature acoustic tone into a broad series of acoustic amps with power and features for a variety of playing styles and venues. The Shenandoah Acoustic amp line now encompasses five models, each with its own unique design and features. This, along with our growing roster of endorsers, positions GENZ BENZ as the leader in the acoustic amp market. We have taken the initiative in the design of the Shenandoah Acoustic Pro to include a 12AX7 tube to the preamp, which enhances the acoustic guitar s timbre with the tonal characteristics, warmth and compression of the tube but without distortion when driven hard. This innovation is combined with a highly efficient and lightweight 300-watt Neodymium 12" loudspeaker, chosen for its articulate full-bodied response and unique tonal characteristics. The power amp platform is a stout 200 watts RMS that provides tremendous headroom for full-bodied, clean tone and the foundation for the high-level output of this professional acoustic tool. The cabinet is strong, yet lightweight and constructed from Baltic birch plywood. The cabinet is rear ported and utilizes a bottom-mounted tiltback handle that will angle the amp up towards the performer. Along with the tube preamp feature, the SHEN-PRO offers two identical channels, each with an XLR and ¼" input, 3-band EQ with sweepable mid-range and a separate Alesis digital effects processor for each channel. Each DSP offers 15 studio quality programs for complete flexibility. FEATURES: Powerful 200-Watt Output for Increased Headroom Select or Blend 12AX7 Tube Preamp and FET Preamp Two Channels w/3-band Active EQ with Sweepable Mid Frequency XLR and ¼" Inputs All Input Signals Mix Together Signal Input Phase Switch for Each Channel Dual Alesis DSP Effects Processors with 15 Programs One for Each Channel Three Effects Loops Three XLR Direct Output Options Compression Bullet Tweeter with Level Control Internal Fan Cooling with Fan Switch Phantom Power for Condenser Mics Capable of Driving Up to Two 8 Ohm Extension Cabinets Auxiliary Input w/rca & ¼" Jacks ACOUSTIC AMPLIFICATION GENZ BENZ has become the benchmark in acoustic amplification. The SHEN-PRO redefines the standard by taking it to the next level. GNX 12300 NEODYMIUM LOUDSPEAKERS Our custom-designed 12" Neodymium loudspeaker is rated at 300 watts RMS and utilizes a 2½" aluminum edge-wound high temperature voice coil. The combination of this highly efficient, lightweight speaker and its unique clarity and response characterisics make it an excellent transducer for acoustic guitar amplification. BLENDABLE TUBE & FET PreampS Select or Blend a 12AX7 Tube or FET Preamp Tube Preamp Design Produces Warm, Round, Full-Bodied Character FET Preamp Produces Smooth, Articulate, Pristine Response The Input Phase Feature Interacts with the Tonal Response of Either Preamp Drive the Input Gain Harder When Using the Tube Circuit for More Tube Compression SHEN PRO 17

The stereo amp design and Flexed speaker baffle work together to better project the rich, detailed stereo programs of the two onboard Alesis Digital Effects processors.

The SHEN-100 was the first acoustic amp on the market with two mic inputs, digital effects and a complement of 3 XLR direct outputs designed to offer exceptional flexibility in many performance venues. The power amp delivers 100 watts at full power and is designed to power an external 8 ohm speaker cabinet as well. Offering huge output, exceptional tone and professional features, this model is further enhanced by the onboard 24-bit Alesis digital effects processor that produces studio-quality lush reverbs, delays and chorus effects.

www.genzbenz.com SHENANDOAH 60 This model is just as compact as the Shenandoah Jr. but offers an expanded preamp section, stereo output and digital effects. Though small in size, the Shenandoah Stereo 60 pumps out 60 watts of power and projects warm, articulate tone from its dual 6½" speakers and studio-quality lush stereo Alesis digital effects processor with 16 preset programs. The preamp has two separate channels, each with a 3-band EQ with sweepable mid-range for flexible control of possible offending frequencies. The preamp offers one XLR mic input (with phantom power) and two ¼" instrument inputs which mix together for additional versatility for use with multiple players. The rear panel offers a Left and Right XLR Direct output and a headphone jack with a speaker on/off switch.

ACOUSTIC AMPLIFICATION The cabinet design incorporates a stage monitor shape for added flexibility during performances. This shape allows the amp to sit upright or tilt back at a 30-degree angle and also enhances the tone of the amp. Tilting the cabinet back helps to reduce boomy low frequencies and augments the projection of the mid frequencies. All in all, the Shenandoah Stereo 60 will serve as a reliable and valuable tool for the professional or hobbyist performer. The smallest of our Shenandoah models, the Jr. is a 35-watt little dynamo that offers many of the signature features of our larger models. This compact affordable package is ideal for many small to medium venues. The versatility of this unit is enhanced by its two-channel design, including three inputs, global 3-band active EQ with variable mid frequency control and a powerful 10" speaker, enhanced by a compression bullet tweeter. An Alesis digital effects processor provides studio-quality effects that enhance the beautiful, rich response of this combo. A bottom-mounted handle is provided so that the Shenandoah Jr. can be tipped up towards the performer for better monitoring projection.
