The Clarus SL/SL·R take compactness into uncharted territory for an integrated amplifier. These diminutive powerhouses are designed to accurately reproduce the sound of all acoustic and electric instruments without compromise. At their heart are powerful Class D switch mode amplifier and switch mode power supply that deliver up to 350 Watts of clean, full spectrum power into speaker loads as low as 2 ohms.

Unlike other solid state amps, the Clarus SL/SL·R have a distinct, warm sound, more like a tube amp. In addition, it is not "voiced" like many electronic instrument amps. Frequency response is flat. So, if you use a high quality speaker system like the Contra EX, what you hear is your sound of your instrument. The tonal shaping characteristic the four-band EQ is sufficient to overcome room acoustics or to shape your sound without adding noise to the signal.

Other features include a parallel effects loop and a balanced direct out to allow connection to a mixing board for PA augmentation or recording. A switch for dual voltage operation (115/230V, 50/60 Hz), a detachable power cord and a padded gig bag with shoulder strap make the Clarus SL/SL·R ultra convenient and portable.

The Clarus SL/SL·R are amplifiers for the working musician looking for exceptionally clean, natural sound, with wide frequency response and low noise. Carried in one hand, or in the supplied gig bag, they provide the ultimate in pure sound reproduction and portability.
