A convenient four-segment LED battery level indicator is provided on the rear of the unit and the same power inlet socket is used to charge the battery and run the system directly from a power supply (100 to 240 VAC 50\/60Hz).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe AS8 ACDC’s audio system combines an 8-inch neodymium subwoofer with an array of six precision-aligned 2.75” neodymium high\/mid drivers. The subwoofer, which has a 1.5” voice coil and a 28 oz. magnet, is built into a vented enclosure which also contains the battery pack, amplification, and mixer. This system is powered by a 250W RMS (1000W peak) Class D amplifier with a switching power design and delivers a maximum output of 110dB with a frequency response of 180-20kHz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/6883\/7687\/files\/as8-acdc-press-03_a555a207-5391-4a93-95ca-c1ecb12135d0.jpg?v=1749597540\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe mid\/high drivers are mounted into a column enclosure and the system is also supplied with an optional spacer column piece. These connect to the sub unit using AVANTE Audio’s proprietary SAM (Secure Array Mount) system, which allows the array column and spacer to lock securely to the sub and to one another without risk of being toppled over. The SAM connection also passes the audio signal from the sub up to the array column, through the spacer if it is used, removing the need for speaker cables and further speeding up setup time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA flexible 3-channel mixer is built into the sub unit. This features a 2-band EQ, a Power\/Clip LED signal indicator and an XLR output for daisy chaining the audio signal to another powered speaker. It offers XLR\/TRS combo jack connections on the first two channels (switchable between mic and line level) and a choice between a stereo pair of 1\/4” jacks, a single (mono) 1\/4\" jack or a 1\/8” jack input on the third channel. This allows direct connection of line-level audio sources as well as microphones and even a guitar, making the system ideal for acoustic solo performers, duos, and even small bands without the need for a separate external mixer. The unit is also equipped with Bluetooth® 5.0 connectivity, allowing wireless streaming of music from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/6883\/7687\/files\/as8-acdc-press-01b_8652cd72-9f35-4c1d-964f-6cfcafb99a9d.jpg?v=1749597557\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen used without the optional spacer column (Compact Position), the AS8 ACDC system comes to a height of 47.6” (1208mm) and is ideal for performances from a high stage. When the spacer is used (Extended Position), the AS8 ACDC has a total height of 79.1” (2008mm), which is perfect for performances either from the floor or a low stage.
