Excellent, Lightweight Stage Amp for Keyboards and Bass
It's bad enough that keyboard players have to lug around 88-note weighted controllers and racks of modules. But having to suffer under the strain of bulky cabinets or combo amps is, for lack of a better metaphor, a pain in the back. And we do it all for the sake of getting out elegant, sophisticated sound projected over the screaming distortion of guitars and drums. The indignity. Barbetta has provided a way to ease the transportation strain while maintaining high-quality sound. With the SE41c (Sona 41), though, they've outdone themselves.

The Punch You Need
The SE41c is a "Stage Amplifier", which means it has a wide sound field. This guarantees you will be heard clearly both on the bandstand and in the audience. The SE41c provides enough oomph to fill a medium-sized (200 patron) room, yet can be easily carried with one hand. The input section has some new features that make these units fit the bill for a range of tasks, from solo acts to multi-keyboard rigs. And did we mention that they're really small?
