Acoustic Image Unveils the Doubleshot Lightweight 2x10 Cabinet

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC (June 3, 2019)--Acoustic Image today announced the launch of Doubleshot, the worlds smallest, lightest 2X10 speaker cabinet, offering natural, omnidirectional, full-range, high-volume sound, for all acoustic instruments, including voice, through two opposing sidefir- ing woofers and a single 5-inch midrange driver mounted in an extremely compact enclosure with a total weight of just 15 pounds.

The 12-inch-high Doubleshot cabinet will be available on its own (for use with any power amplifier) at a street price of $599 or paired with one of three Acoustic Image Clarus SL heads in combos ranging in price from $1299 to $1449, depending on amplifier features (each includes a high quality backpack-style gigbag). Prices for Doubleshot combos (and new 1X10 Upshot combos) will be reduced by $100 on all sales prior to September 1, 2019.

“Our downfiring/frontfiring Ten2 EX was, until now, the world’s smallest and lightest 2X10 cabinet—and arguably the best,” said Rick Jones, Acoustic Image Founder and Chief Designer. ”The sidefiring Double- shot is half the size and weight...sounds more open and natural...plays just as loudly...and sells for 20 percent less.”

“Doubleshot’s design takes full advantage of physics to maximize volume and breadth of frequency range, “ Jones added. “What’s more, the 180-degree sidefiring configuration, plus the added frontfiring wave of the midrange driver, result in true omnidirectional sound. The soundstage is huge, giving it a ‘coming from everywhere’ sound.”

DoubleShot Combo

The DoubleShot Combo consists of the DoubleShot speaker and one of three AI
SL-class integrated amplifiers. There are rubber stops on the top of the cabinet that hold the amp head in place. When the amp is placed on top against the stops and the speaker is connected, a unique “combo” is formed.

Three versions are available:

1) DoubleShot-Clarus SL = DoubleShot plus 600W Clarus SL (one channel, no effects) plus short speaker cable.

2) DoubleShot-Clarus SL-R = DoubleShot plus 600W Clarus SL-R (one channel with effects) plus short speaker cable.

3) DoubleShot-Clarus SL-2 = DoubleShot plus 600W Clarus SL-2 (two channels, no effects) plus short speaker cable.

When the units are purchased together as a “combo,” a duffle/backpack carry bag is included.
