the NEW Euphonic Audio Micro
the more powerful update to the popular Micro 300
 The original Micro 300 was a true wonder, a tiny but powerful, feature-filled amp. At around three pounds, this Class D amp delivered 300 watts into a four or two ohm load. The newest Micro will also offer two channels with independent three-band equalization, and when using one input only you can switch from one channel to another using a footswitch! (not included, see below for some switch suggestions). The newest Micro (due in March/April 2009) bumps the power to 550 watts
The newest Micro will address the need for worldwide voltage levels we encounter in different countries and on the stage from hell (I've been there, and I'll bet you have, too). The proven power supply has a jumper to switch between 110 and 220 volt ranges, each with a wide band of tolerances.
The Wizzy 10 can make an excellent companion speaker for a powerful yet compact rig. In spite of being so light and compact it can deliver quite a punch. At the right is a photo of true Bass Bliss, with Bob at a September 2008 outdoor party gig playing a Micro 300/Wizzy 10 rig. Carrying it in and out of a gig was bliss, too.
 All this and more in a package weighing around 3 pounds and the size of a 1/2 sheet of paper! Upright Bass and other acoustic instrument players should take a look at the extra features in the new Doubler specifically added for acoustic instruments!
- Inputs: Two separate and distinct channels with individual controls.
- Trim controls to adjust the overall level of channel one, channel two, the DI output, and choose frequency for high pass filter
- Intelligent Input Switching with optional footswitch; you can use a single or double momentary contact footswitch (examples of footswitches that should be compatible are the Boss FS-6 and Rolls RP8)
- With one instrument plugged in, the switch toggles the instrument between channel one and channel two, so there can be different settings
- with two instruments plugged in, the switch moves from channel one » channel two » both
- a single footswitch controls the Intelligent Input Switching; when a double (¼" TRS plug) switch is used, the second button controls the mute function
- Controls: Channel switch, Input gain, 3-Band EQ, Master Volume, Mute switch, Effects loop blend
- EQ: Low, Mid, and High for each channel
- Variable high pass filter 22-80hz., 6db per octave (allows you to select a frequency below which response is reduce, to help with boomy rooms and stages), mini-pot at edge of top
- Effects Loop: Parallel effects loop with blend control
- Internal (computer style) jumpers control...
- Effects loop is inserted in
- Channel One only
- Channel One and Two are both affected (default)
- choose between pre- and post-EQ for the DI output (default: set to pre-EQ)
- choose what signal is muted by the footswitch
- speaker output and tuner output muted
- speaker output muted only (default)
 - Outputs:
- Speakon speaker,
- tuner ¼ jack
- effects send ¼ jack
- balanced DI out ¼ stereo jack (XLR adaptor included, see below)
- Channel 1 Mid EQ set at 500Hz for better compatibility with electric bass
- Channel 2 Mid EQ set at 800Hz for better compatibility with upright/acoustic bass
- 1Meg ohm input impedance on both 1/4" inputs
- Variable high pass filter (allows you to select a frequency below which response is reduced, to help with boomy rooms and stages)
- Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz ± 3dB
- Power Output: 550 watts @ 4 or 2 ohms; 310 watts @ 8 ohms
- Size: 2.1"H x 8.5"W x 5.4"D
- Weight: 3.5 lbs.
- Tiny internal cooling fan
- Thermal and overload protection
- Line Voltage: 100/120 - 240 volts internally selected
- Classy brushed aluminum look chassis with black and red artwork
 FREE: 1 foot DI Breakout Cable (TRS 1/4 to XLR) included with purchase. It converts the space-saving ¼ stereo jack to a standard XLR DI connector
EA thinks you're smart: They use REAL Volume Controls
Rather than have all the volume in the first turn of the knob, EA uses potentiometers that are more linear. This means you may actually have to turn the master volume all the way up to the 3 o'clock position when things get really, really loud. This gives you a more realistic measure of how much power you are using. Most other amp manufacturers (and think stereos, car radios, etc.) use a taper that puts all the volume up front. This is to impress unsuspecting customers trying gear in stores. "Wow, listen to how loud it is, and it's only on 2? ," he says, and thinks to himself, ”This thing must get really loud!!”
Nope, they're just fooling with you. It pretty much stops getting louder around 5, and then only gets more distorted. EA thinks it's better to use the entire volume control. You'll otherwise never actually attain the mythic eleven.
Is this an EA Exclusive?? We're not sure, but we think others should follow their example. Euphonic Audio says respect your customers, don't try to fool them.

HIGH PASS FILTERS: getting rid of the mud and rumble
Here is what some of our customers think about this product:

Hi Bob and Mark, I got my EA Micro 300 and Wizzy 10 today, as promised. So far, I've only auditioned it in my living room, but wow... they sound great. It sounds like MY BASS. I even put it in the back pack and walked around with it for a while, and really feel I can manage the subway with it just fine. Thank you so much for everything. I'll definitely post on talkbass about the great deal and sound.

I used the Micro 300 with my GK 410 on Saturday. It was an outdoor gig
at the CBS Studio Film Lot. Swing music and some pretty loud Rock n
Roll. All seasoned players, lot of fun.The band had Horns, two
guitars, keyboards, drums, harmonica and lots of vocals. The Micro 300
sounded beautiful with plenty of headroom with the King Doublebass as
well as my electric bass.
Before the party we had time for a sound
check and some rehearsal so at one point I had someone play the
upright so I could hear it out in front. With the upright (especially
outside gigs) I usually have to run the bass into the PA but it wasn't
necessary. The upright had clarity and punch on stage as well as out
front. I ran the EQ with the treble and mid flat and the bass around
1:00 just to add a little warmth.
I've played the upright in a number
of amps but it never sounded as good as with the Micro 300. Thumping
lows and the rockabilly slap sound was sweet not harsh. I'm gonna sell
the GK Head and Cabinet and a few other things and get some of the EA
cabinets.
Thanks Bob, talk to
you soon.
