The AER Colourizer 2 is a preamplifier for instrument or microphone (vocal or instrument microphone). You insert it into the signal chain between source and next point in the audio path (e.g. amplifier or mixing desk) to produce sound improvement, your signal will be stronger, richer and more stable.
This happens in several ways: at first simply by switching in between. The high-quality input stage makes the sound much rounder and fuller. In addition, through three individually switchable and controllable filter systems: Tone, Enhancer and Equalizer, which can be used individually or together and influence the sound relationships, the overtones and the frequency spectrum. It can also be used to dampen natural resonances and limit feedback.
In addition to the 24 V phantom power for a condenser microphone, the Colourizer 2 is equipped with a professional, adjustable DI output, which can be connected directly to a signal mixer, and a phase switch. All pocket tools must be operated with 24V power supplies. A corresponding power supply unit is included.
The Colourizer 2 is the Tommy Emmanuel go-to tool. Das sagt Lorenzo Polidori Italy, Guitarplayer SAID... "power, accuracy and cleannes of the sound. These are the characteristics that in my opinion can define the AER amplifiers! during my live shows and also in every other situation I have been using the compact 60/3 combined with the “pocket tool colourizer” preamplifier for years and managed to guarantee a very high quality and stability of sound. I can count on being part of the AER family and being able to use their products!"
