Roland has introduced CUBE Street EX PA Pack, a battery-powered stereo PA system and accessories package, based around the CUBE Street EX amplifier.
The CUBE Street EX PA Pack combines two CUBE Street EX units and accessories that include a carrying case, two AC adapters, two mono cables for the Stereo Link function, and an i-CUBE-LINK cable for CUBE JAM.
Each CUBE Street EX has 50 watts of onboard audio power, two eight-inch woofers and two tweeters, onboard vocal and guitar effects, and up to 20 hours of operation on eight AA batteries. In the CUBE Street EX PA Pack, the two amplifiers are connected together using the built-in Stereo Link jacks to create an expanded system with 100 watts of total power for larger performing situations.
The power is adjustable in three levels – Max (50 watts), Normal (25 watts), and Eco (10 watts) – allowing users to conserve battery life when maximum power is not necessary. The amplifier can also be powered with the included AC adapter.
Each amplifier in the CUBE Street EX Pack has an onboard four-channel mixer. Mic/Instrument and Mic/Guitar channels feature XLR/TRS combo jacks to support microphones or devices with 1/4-inch outputs, and each channel has its own three-band EQ and reverb.
The mono/stereo Line In channel is equipped with 1/4-inch jacks, while the Audio In channel provides a stereo 1/8-inch mini jack that also supports Roland’s i-CUBE LINK and CUBE JAM. A rear-panel Aux In jack can be used to connect an additional mono device if needed.
COSM tones for electric guitar include Lead, Crunch, and Clean, plus an Acoustic Simulator for added versatility. There’s also an AC preamp optimized for acoustic/electric guitar, plus a built-in tuner. Chorus/delay and reverb effects are available as well, and these can be turned on/off with optional footswitches while performing.
The CUBE Street EX’s angled back offers optimized projection for street gigs, small venues and monitoring on larger stages. For enhanced coverage, the amp can be mounted on an optional ST-A95 speaker stand.
The CUBE Street EX has an ABS injection-molded body that’s passed rigorous durability testing while being light and easy to transport. The carrying case provides shoulder straps as well as pockets for stowing cables, AC adapters and extra batteries. The case also has a water-resistant covering to protect the amps from moisture while traveling.
