Frequently asked questions
Which handles band rehearsals better?
The AH4X4 with six channels and 35W output is designed for small ensembles and will accommodate multiple instruments or vocals simultaneously. The AH-FREESTYLE's three channels and 5W output work best for a single performer or acoustic duo.
Can I use Bluetooth on either unit?
Only the AH4X4 includes Bluetooth connectivity for wireless playback devices or backing tracks. The AH-FREESTYLE requires 1/8" auxiliary cable input for backing tracks.
What's the real-world power difference?
The AH4X4 delivers 35W RMS versus the AH-FREESTYLE's 5W RMS, making it roughly 7 times louder and suitable for outdoor spaces and larger rooms. The AH-FREESTYLE is designed for intimate cafes, living rooms, and close-mic'd rehearsals.
Which is easier to carry to gigs?
The AH-FREESTYLE at 7 kg is the lightest option and truly pocketable for solo buskers. The AH4X4 is still portable and battery-powered but heavier due to its larger speaker drivers and amplification, though it remains tuckable under one arm.
