Acus One For Street 8 Wood is an acoustic guitar amplifier for street musicians and others who need a self-contained solution for mobile performances. It can be powered by the included external power supply or a separate battery, and can be used with instruments including guitar, violin, mandolin and ukulele. The three channels, microphone connectivity and balanced output make it possible to combine instrument and vocals in a compact setup.

The amplifier delivers 90 W through a 2-way system with an 8” woofer and a separate tweeter. Its frequency response ranges from 40 Hz to 20 kHz for clear reproduction of acoustic instruments and vocals.

Inputs and mixing controls

One For Street 8 has three inputs. Channels 1 and 2 can be used for both microphones and instruments, while channel 3 is intended for instruments. Each channel features gain/volume, 3-band EQ for bass, midrange and treble, and adjustable reverb, allowing the sound to be adapted to the instrument and room.

Phantom power is permanently active on the microphone input, which can therefore also be used with condenser microphones. Master volume controls the overall volume level, while AUX volume controls the level of external sound sources separately.

External audio and PA connection

The AUX section includes both a 3.5 mm jack and mini-USB for the Acus Artesia BT-1. The included Bluetooth adapter allows audio to be streamed from a smartphone to the amplifier, for example backing tracks or music during breaks.

The balanced Direct Out can send the signal to an external sound system. A -10 dB switch allows the output signal to be attenuated as needed.

Battery operation without mains power

The amplifier has space for an external 18 V battery, which is not included. Acus recommends Makita 18 V batteries with a capacity of 3 or 5 Ah. Battery operation provides up to 7 hours of use, and the battery status is shown by an LED. The battery cannot be charged through the amplifier’s power supply.

An external power supply is included for use in locations with access to mains power. The cabinet is made of birch plywood.
