Though it is compact and lightweight, the Adio is equipped with a high-wattage power amp boasting 50W of stereo output. It delivers a startling sense of volume that outperforms other amps in its class. The 2 x 3”stereo speaker system makes for an incredible playing and listening experience.
Adio provides both the hard-hitting cabinet resonance of a bass amp, and the high fidelity of home audio speakers. Thanks to new concepts used in its cabinet structure, the multi-purpose Adio excels in both scenarios.
In spite of its high output power, the Adio can also operate on batteries. Eight AA batteries allow up to eight hours of continuous operation. At a mere 2.9 kg / 6.39 lb. in weight, the Adio is also highly portable. You can take it with you to enjoy performing or listening anywhere.
The Adio uses VET (Virtual Elements Technology). Instead of simply imitating the output sound of the original amp, VET meticulously models even its components and circuit design.
The total of 11 amp models includes not only classic amps, but also slap, rock, and modern. VOX have included only truly usable amp models that have been tuned to maximize the potential of the compact Adio. By using the Tone Room software, you can choose from a total of 17 types of amp model. From a bass synthesizer to guitar amp models that you can enjoy when playing guitars, this single unit lets you enjoy a variety of amp sounds.
A full complement of effects is also provided: four types of effects such as compressor and auto-wah (FX1) and four ambience-type effects such as delay and reverb (FX2). Appropriately for the Adio with its stereo speakers, it is also equipped with high-quality effects, and you can simultaneously use a total of three effects including noise reduction. As with the amp models, using the Tone Room software lets you choose from a total of 19 types of effect: 11 for FX1 and 8 for FX2.
Tone Room editor/librarian software is provided, which lets you choose from an even richer selection of amp models and effects, and also lets you take advantage of the Adio's full potential by customizing detailed parameters and audio EQ settings. Up to eight customized amps and effects can be saved in the Adio. Tone Room runs on multiple platforms: Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
The Adio Air additionally supports Bluetooth MIDI, so you can control parameters wirelessly, allowing you to effortlessly design your sound using your favorite device.
The Adio performs equally as well as an audio speaker, delivering pure, analog-quality sound.
The Adio Air also supports Bluetooth audio. You can connect it to your computer or smartphone via Bluetooth, and use it to play back your favorite music from either device.
An AUX input jack is also provided. This is a convenient way to enjoy jam sessions while you listen to your favorite songs.
The Adio is equipped with "Acoustage" virtual surround technology. Simply by turning on this function, you can obtain a startlingly wide stereo effect. This function is particularly impressive when used in conjunction with one of the onboard stereo effects.
The unit provides four preset EQ settings for you to select as desired. Additionally, you can use the Tone Room software to make detailed adjustments to each frequency band of the parametric equalizer. Up to four of the EQ settings you've made can be stored onboard.
A noise reduction function is provided to reduce unwanted noise when using high-gain sounds. This can be adjusted in five steps.
The Adio also provides a tuning function that's indispensable for guitar/bass playing. The tuner also supports half-down tuning mode.
Since the Adio is equipped with a USB port, you can connect it to your computer or tablet and use Tone Room software, or use the Adio as a USB audio interface to record and play back your performance.
Since JamVOX III modeling software is bundled, you can take advantage of the GXT function that lets you cancel or extract/emphasize a specific part from an existing song; you can also use the music player function to play back a loop from a song that you're learning or practicing, and even change its tempo.
