UNICO X : the "state of the art" evolution of Schertler acoustic amplification
Designed in Switzerland, the UNICO X embodies a very "audiophile" approach to the combo amp: bi-amplified analog power, improved speaker section, optimized crossover filter, limiter, and gain architecture designed to respect the natural dynamics of instruments. It stands as a premium solution in the UNICO range, aimed at musicians seeking faithful, stable, and perfectly clear reproduction, even in demanding contexts.
Who is it for and what are its uses?
The UNICO X is intended for acoustic guitarists, singers, acoustic multi-instrumentalists, and stage musicians who want to recover their "mic-like" sound: precise, open, and without excessive coloration. Thanks to its headroom and 2-way dispersion, it is suitable for both rehearsals and small to medium-sized stages, while remaining an excellent tool for recording and monitoring in the studio. Its extended and controlled low end also facilitates voice + guitar setups, where a solid low spectrum is needed without losing intelligibility.
Channels, controls, and features: a complete platform for your acoustic setup
A true control center for an acoustic setup, the UNICO X offers 5 inputs to accommodate various sources (XLR mic, 6.35mm asymmetrical jack instrument, stereo 3.5mm mini-jack source). The bi-amplified power section relies on an optimized crossover filter network and a limiter to preserve definition and secure the sound when pushing the volume. On the integration side, the stage-oriented approach is appreciated: DI XLR output to feed a mixing console, line output, master insert to process the overall mix, as well as an auxiliary output allowing integration of external effects. The package is completed by a spring-type digital reverb with decay control, ideal for adding air to vocals and depth to an electro-acoustic guitar.
Sound
With its Class A preamp described as "without feedback, without integrated circuits," the UNICO X aims for a transparent, highly dynamic, and particularly nuanced sound: perfect for finger attacks, arpeggios, body percussion, and playing variations. The 10-inch woofer delivers a broad and solid low end, while the 1-inch dome tweeter ensures excellent clarity of harmonics, vocal sibilance, and pick details. The result is a clean and spacious sound, with headroom to stay defined at high volume, and a reverb that can range from a simple natural ambience to a more "vintage" spring-like halo.
