The Laney Combo That Covers It All
The AH200 is the education and small-venue standard in Laney’s AudioHub multi-instrument combo amplifier series, bringing the company’s refined voicing discipline to a 5-channel system designed to support multiple musicians at once. Built for mid-sized performance situations, it boasts 200 watts of peak power, pushing a 12-inch driver and a 1-inch compression driver with a horn, making it ideal for classroom programs, gigs, houses of worship, and small-venue PA duty. Five channels include two instrument channels with dedicated XLR mic inputs and Bass and Treble controls; two stereo line channels for keyboards or playback; and a wireless channel for Bluetooth or aux. The AH200 also features a rear-panel FX loop for hosting an outboard processor. Under the hood, advanced DSP multi-effects and a 5-band graphic master EQ shape your sound, while a DI out lets you easily send the finished mix straight to the front-of-house board. The AH200 also features a Headphone output and a USB-C audio I/O, so when a rehearsal turns into a recording session, you can send your signal straight to a DAW. From quiet practice alone to rehearsals with the band to performances for a full room, the AH200 supports every shape your music takes.

One amp, every input you need
On the AH200, inputs are assigned by source, so an instrument, a vocal mic, and a keyboard each have a dedicated space, with no adapters required and no mixer out front. The AH200 also features a wireless channel to bring a phone into the mix via Bluetooth or a 3.5mm cable for backing tracks. Sweetwater's gigging musicians report that since each channel has its own level control, the balance among an instrument, a voice, and a track can be set once and left alone, simplifying soundchecks and helping alleviate volume issues. Additionally, all inputs and outputs are located on the back panel, keeping cables out of the way and allowing the RGB front-panel lighting to add a visual spectacle during your performance.
Tone shaping from the channel to the room
Decades of voicing guitar and bass amplifiers have taught the engineers at Laney that vocals and a guitar require different treatment, and the AH200 acknowledges this. The amp’s 15-inch woofer is paired with a 1-inch compression driver and horn, ensuring dynamic, full-range reproduction of the entire mix. Advanced DSP multi-effects are onboard to cover reverbs, delays, and more, with each instrument channel setting its own send, allowing a vocal to stay dry while an acoustic sits in a hall. From there, a 5-band graphic master EQ tunes the system to the space, whether that’s a school gymnasium, a downtown music venue, or a carpeted sanctuary.
Bluetooth and USB-C
Bluetooth capabilities handle everything that isn’t plugged in, streaming backing tracks or a lesson playlist from a phone, tablet, or laptop, while a 3.5mm aux input offers direct connection. A USB-C audio I/O works in the other direction, sending what runs through the channels straight to a DAW or streaming software with no interface required. With the AH200 in your setup, the tracks you play along to and the tracks you record can be routed through the same amp you use for performing.
