Prodipe Natural 5 V2 - Walnut Wood

Product Description

The Prodipe Natural 5 V2 Walnut Wood is an active electro-acoustic amplifier built from laminated wood, light and easy to carry, designed for acoustic instrumentalists and vocalists. It amplifies guitar, stringed instruments or voice with a remarkably accurate, neutral sound, backed by a comprehensive built-in mixer.

The goal, according to the manufacturer, was for a guitar to sound the same through the amp as it does naturally. A rare, extremely accurate and neutral sound rather than a coloured character. With a wide bandwidth from 55Hz to 20kHz, a powerful 90 watt bi-amplifier, a 1-inch neodymium dome tweeter and a fibreglass woofer (described as a 5 inch woofer in the product text, while the specification lists 6.5" (13cm). The source is inconsistent on this point and should be verified), it delivers a detailed, wide-ranging sound.

Built-in mixer and connectivity

The Natural 5 V2 Walnut Wood features a comprehensive built-in mixer:

• 2 balanced inputs and 2 balanced outputs
• 2 unbalanced inputs
• 2 x 3-band equalizers
• 1 phantom power (+48V)
• 1 digital DSP reverb
• 1 anti-feedback function
• 1 ground lift

Connect guitars, acoustic instruments, dynamic and static microphones (with phantom power), and a stereo input/output source. Thanks to the built-in monitoring technology with its wide bandwidth, you can also connect a computer, keyboard, synthesiser, drum machine, electronic drum kit, telephone, another amp, or simply a sound card.

Fold-out feet allow use in the tilted "Return" monitor position, and it also has a speaker stand socket for pole mounting.

Developed in France

Research and development took place in France, in collaboration with sound engineer Ludovic Lanen, who trusts his ears first rather than a price tag, because quality is what he fights for.
