About the Crate Acoustic CA120D:
D
esigned for the performing artist,
Crate’s CA120D Acoustic Amplifier
gives you more of what you want.
More power. More clarity. More control. And,
more freedom. Imagine: microphone quality
sound, without feedback. And without being
“chained” to a mic stand!
More power: a 120 watt RMS power ampli-
fier drives a Studio Monitor-style 12” sub-
woofer for plenty of volume and low end
punch.
More clarity: a specially designed tweeter
provides clean crisp highs and natural mid-
range blend. A tweeter level control allows
you to adjust the high frequency output to
suit your taste.
More control: two separate channels, each
with its own gain, tone, and reverb/effects
controls. An automatic feedback elimination
circuit with two filter select controls lets you
kill feedback without sacrificing sound quali-
ty. The filters can be controlled by means of a
footswitch provided with the unit.
A pair of CD Input jacks allows you to play
along with a compact disc, cassette tape, or a
rhythm machine.
Still more: Footswitch jacks on the rear
panel provide control for the feedback circuit
as well as two “tracking” DSP presets. Level-
controllable XLR and 1/4” balanced line outs
allow you to patch into house sound boards
or recording consoles, plus an effects loop
line-in/line-out setup allows connection of
external effects. An external speaker jack lets
you connect the amplifier to another separate
speaker cabinet.
Enough already? Not for us. The CA120D
features Crate’s Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
for a variety of digital reverbs, effects and
delays specifically designed for acoustic
instruments.
The CA120D was designed, evaluated, and
tweaked by music loving engineers. Each
amplifier is produced by skilled assemblers
using sophisticated assembly machines and
the finest components. Trained craftsmen
assemble and cover every cabinet by hand.
The finished product is tested – and played –
by skilled musicians/technicians. It is only
after the amplifier has passed this meticulous
design/assembly/performance/approval
process that we allow it to be shipped to our
customers.

read this owner’s guide prior to its use.
To keep this amplifier looking its best, avoid
abrasive cleansers. Wipe the cabinet clean

could damage their protective coatings.
