ONE FOR
THEROAD.
W
e designed the LS-100 to
be tough, inside and out.
In particular, the most exposed
part, the high-quality microphones,
are well-protected in a durable, robust
metal body. That’s the big picture.
But we know the little things are also
important when you’re jamming on
the go. So, for example, we built in
a Lissajous function as a guide for mic
position adjustments based on phase
differences, as well as a tuner,
a metronome and a key shift
to change the octave. So you
can feel right at home, even
when you’re on the road.
T
he microphones are key to the overall quality, and with the LS-100 you never need to worry
if they’ll be up to the task: the built-in mics are nothing short of fantastic. The amplifier
components feature independent low-noise, low-distortion signals for the left and right channels
and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. This way, the durable, perfectly positioned, high-quality
microphones eliminate unwanted noise and cross-channel interference to ensure you get just
what you want: the clear, brilliant sound you asked for. And nothing else.
B
asically,
everything
you will ever
need is already
built into your
LS-100 or comes
in the box:
AC adaptors
for travelling
abroad, a USB
cable plus
converter,
the lithium-
ion battery,
a strap and
a handy case.
You also have
the option of
adding a remote
control – so
you can start
recording from
a distance.
