Vox Adio Air BS 50-watt Modelling Bass Combo Speaker

The Adio redefines what’s possible from a compact amplifier, packing an impressive 50W stereo power amp into a lightweight 2.9kg package that punches well above its weight class. This remarkable amp features a sophisticated 2 x 3” stereo speaker system housed within an innovative slanted cabinet design, making it equally suited for home practice sessions and live performance applications. The unique angled positioning allows the speakers to point diagonally upward, ensuring optimal sound projection reaches your ears directly even at close range.

At the heart of the Adio’s exceptional sound quality lies its advanced cabinet construction, featuring a bass reflex structure that produces remarkable sound density despite its compact dimensions. The internal design incorporates a completely separated inner box system that prevents unwanted cabinet resonance whilst creating independent L and R chambers for enhanced stereo imaging. This engineering approach, combined with a chassis design that minimises parallel surfaces, effectively suppresses vibrations that could compromise audio fidelity.

The Adio utilises VET (Virtual Elements Technology) to meticulously model original amplifier components and circuit designs rather than simply copying output sounds. This sophisticated approach, powered by high-performance DSP processing, ensures authentic amp characteristics with refined distortion algorithms that capture every picking nuance. The comprehensive effects suite includes four FX1 effects (compressor, auto-wah and others) plus four ambient FX2 effects (delay, reverb and more), with the ability to run three effects simultaneously including noise reduction.

Portability remains paramount with the Adio’s battery operation capability – eight AA batteries provide up to eight hours of continuous use, making it perfect for any location. The inclusion of Acoustage virtual surround technology creates an impressively wide stereo field at the touch of a button, particularly effective when paired with stereo effects to simulate the ambience of performing on a expansive stage or within a premium multi-channel audio environment.
