More details from Schertler (www.schertler.com):
Swiss manufacturer Schertler introduces GIULIA, the latest addition to its Classic acoustic amplifier series. Ideal for small venues, home studios and for practice, the single-channel 50W (bi-amplified) GIULIA has the same high quality sound, intuitive control surface and robust construction as its larger two- and three-channel siblings, DAVID and UNICO.
GIULIA is equipped with a 1” dome tweeter and 5” woofer. The amp’s flexible input channel can accommodate both XLR and ¼” Jack connectors, making it suitable for use with a wide range of microphones including Schertler’s own DYN and STAT series, or the BASIK pickup. Phantom power (48V and 10V) is supplied. The input can also be used for a guitar or other high level line source, with the amplifier’s intelligent electronics automatically adapting to suit. The channel has 3-band EQ and Warm low-pass filter to produce a warmer sound when the amp is used with bridge-mounted pickups.
GIULIA is additionally equipped with a high quality digital reverb (controlled via potentiometer) and an Insert socket, enabling the connection of an external dynamics processor or a volume pedal. Separate Line and DI outputs enable connection to a mixer, subwoofer or other external device.
GIULIA’s compact dimensions (27x18x28 cm) and low weight (6.3kg) combine with high quality components to provide the perfect companion for a range of smaller-scale performance and recording applications.
