The Simon 8 Wood in the Oneforstrings Series

The Acus Simon 8 Wood is part of the Oneforstrings series. Its approach focuses on amplifying acoustic instruments and vocals: letting your performance be heard without distracting from what matters, the tone and the playing. The wood finish reinforces this acoustic identity with a warm aesthetic suited to a musical environment.

This model focuses on a straightforward configuration: a rated power output of 150 watts, an 8-inch woofer and a tweeter. This combination reflects the Simon 8 Wood's purpose: supporting voice-and-guitar setups with natural reproduction, rather than seeking the tonal coloration effects associated with an amplifier designed for overdriven electric guitar.

A partner for singer-guitarists and acoustic projects

Do you sing while accompanying yourself on guitar? The Simon 8 Wood is specifically designed for this musical approach. It is suitable for musicians who prioritize clear lyrics, chord articulation and preserving their instrument's tone. Its appeal lies in its pursuit of consistency between the instrumental part and the vocals.

Folk, singer-songwriter music, acoustic pop or fingerpicking accompaniment: genres that rely on the nuances of playing are precisely what it is designed for. Whether in rehearsal or during an acoustic performance, the goal remains the same: make your performance more present while preserving its natural character. Sound coverage will depend in particular on the venue, the amp's placement and the level of the other musicians.

Its weight of 13.5 kg is also a practical consideration when planning your travel. For a musician who regularly transports their guitar, microphone and amplification equipment, this information helps anticipate loading and setup. The Simon 8 Wood can therefore be considered for a mobile acoustic setup, depending on your transport requirements.

150 watts and sound dispersion combining a woofer and tweeter

The sound reproduction system is based on two complementary elements. The 8-inch woofer handles the body of the sound, while the tweeter provides the precision required in the high-frequency range. With an acoustic guitar, this combination is particularly useful for conveying pick attacks and playing details.

The 150-watt power output gives the Simon 8 Wood the capacity to amplify the instrument and vocals beyond their acoustic level. However, it does not by itself determine the size of the venue it can cover. When choosing your setup, also take the room's acoustics and the role of vocals in your repertoire into account.

A sound geared towards clarity and natural tone

The desired character is one of faithful, clear reproduction. Here, the amp supports the source sound rather than becoming an effect in its own right. This approach will appeal to musicians who want to preserve the personality of their guitar and the color of their voice, without putting an overdriven tone front and center.

The tweeter contributes to high-frequency definition, which is important for distinguishing vocal consonants and string attacks. The focus remains musical: maintaining a precise reading of the performance, whether on light accompaniment or more forceful chords. The Simon 8 Wood therefore prioritizes amplification in service of the voice-and-instrument duo.
