Laney LA30D Dual Channel Acoustic Guitar Amp
Description
Laney LA30D Dual Channel Acoustic Guitar Amp
The LA30D is a compact acoustic amplifier engineered for studio tracking and live capture of acoustic sources. Its dual-channel design lets you simultaneously record or amplify two acoustic instruments—guitar and vocals, two mics, or a condenser pickup and dynamic mic—making it ideal for overdubbing sessions, small ensemble recording, and flexible studio workflows. At 7.4 kg with a closed-cabinet design, it delivers 30 watts of controlled power without the coloration or feedback issues that plague untreated acoustic amplification in treated rooms.
Amplification & Speaker Configuration
30 watts of real RMS linear output power drives a pair of custom-designed 6.5" dual-cone drivers housed in a closed cabinet, ensuring articulate midrange reproduction and reliable feedback control across typical studio monitoring volumes. This combination produces the clarity and projection acoustic instruments demand without coloration—critical for capturing honest recordings and maintaining accurate mix references.
Channel Design & Connectivity
Two fully independent input channels accept both balanced XLR and unbalanced jack inputs, with phantom power permanently available on XLR inputs for condenser microphones and active pickups. An 1/8" CD/MP3 input lets you run click tracks, reference mixes, or practice material through the same amp during sessions, while 1/4" D.I. and 1/8" headphone outputs enable direct recording feeds to your interface and isolated monitoring during tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a microphone and a guitar through this amp at the same time?
Yes. The LA30D has two fully independent channels, each with balanced XLR and unbalanced jack inputs, so you can mic a vocal and plug in an acoustic guitar simultaneously and control each with separate volume, EQ, and effects.
Is phantom power always on, or can I turn it off?
Phantom power is permanently available on the XLR inputs, so condenser microphones and active pickups will always have it supplied. There is no switch to disable it.
What genres and styles is this amp best suited for?
The LA30D excels at folk, worship, acoustic singer-songwriter, and duet performance where clarity and feedback control matter most. It is not designed for metal, hard rock, or high-gain applications.
How portable is it, and will it handle small venues?
At 7.4 kg with compact dimensions (280 x 390 x 210 mm), it is genuinely portable for gigging and rehearsal. Its 30 watts of real RMS power and articulate midrange are built for small venues and rehearsal spaces with reliable projection.
What connectivity options are available for recording or silent practice?
The amp includes a 1/4" D.I. output for direct injection to a mixing console or interface, a 1/8" headphone output for silent practice, and a 1/8" CD/MP3 input for backing tracks or practice material.
