Description

The Blackstar ACOUSTIC:CORE 30 is a compact and highly versatile acoustic amplifier designed for singer-songwriters, acoustic performers and musicians who want professional-quality sound without complicated setup. Developed by the same team behind Blackstar's award-winning Sonnet acoustic amplifier series, it combines natural acoustic tone with the flexibility of Blackstar's renowned CORE digital platform.

With 30 watts of Super Wide Stereo power delivered through two 5" speakers, the ACOUSTIC:CORE 30 provides a spacious, immersive sound from a remarkably portable amplifier. Dedicated instrument and mic/line channels make it easy to amplify both guitar and vocals, while Instrument Enhance and Vocal Clarity controls help achieve a polished sound quickly and intuitively.

Built-in chorus and reverb effects add depth and ambience, while XLR D.I., speaker-emulated output, USB audio and TRRS streaming connectivity make the ACOUSTIC:CORE equally capable on stage, in the studio or when creating content at home. A built-in tilt-back stand, PA stand mounting and optional battery operation provide even greater flexibility wherever you want to perform.
