Frequently asked questions
Can I use the A-SOLO as a general stage monitor for vocals or other instruments?
The A-SOLO is designed specifically for acoustic guitar with instrument-focused controls and effects. While it has two channels and auxiliary input, it lacks the independent gain controls and full-range voicing of a dedicated monitor. For monitoring vocals or mixed sources, the CXP-115 is more suitable.
Which is louder for larger venues?
The CXP-115 delivers significantly more power at 150W RMS and reaches 97 dB SPL, compared to the A-SOLO's 60W. For audiences beyond small clubs or worship spaces, the CXP-115 provides better projection.
Is the A-SOLO portable enough for touring?
Yes—at 6.7 kg and compact dimensions, the A-SOLO is highly portable for solo touring musicians. The CXP-115 at 19 kg is heavier but still manageable for bands with multiple members sharing gear.
Can I use the CXP-115 as an acoustic guitar amp instead of the A-SOLO?
The CXP-115 lacks onboard effects and instrument-specific EQ shaping. While it could amplify a guitar via its line input, you would sacrifice the reverb, chorus, and anti-feedback features the A-SOLO provides for acoustic guitar tone.
