Description
Description
ANNY® – your battery-powered sound solution for truly anywhere: whether you’re in the city, in the garden, at gatherings, at sporting events, at school and dance events, at bars, at parties – wherever you are, with ANNY® you can deliver professional sound and create unforgettable moments.
As the lightest and most compact model in the ANNY® range, ANNY® 8 is equipped with an 8" woofer and a 1" tweeter. Thanks to its balanced weight and practical carry handle, it’s easy to transport. ANNY® 8 therefore offers an ideal combination of compactness, mobility and impressive sound performance.
The Tilt-Back cabinet makes it possible to tilt your ANNY® 8 when it’s placed on the ground, optimising sound dispersion or allowing it to be used as a monitor. To reach a larger audience, ANNY® 8 can also be mounted on a speaker stand.
With an integrated 5-channel mixer, 3-band EQ, 5 application presets (MUSIC, LIVE, VOCAL, ECO, FLAT) and effects such as reverb & delay, it combines extensive features and excellent sound quality in a compact, timeless design. ANNY® 8 impresses with its versatile connectivity: two mic/line combo inputs, one stereo channel with 3.5 mm jack (AUX) and RCA inputs, as well as Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC codec.
This selection of inputs enables a wide range of setups combining speech and music. The footswitch input lets you switch the reverb & delay effects easily and hands-free using an external footswitch while you play or sing.
To ensure clear, audible announcements in any situation, you can use the "Priority" function. Simply select your microphone in the priority settings, and the music will automatically be lowered when you use the microphone.
True Wireless Stereo (TWS) further increases versatility and makes it possible to connect two ANNY® 8 speakers so you can enjoy your music in stereo – a quick upgrade that creates an impressive sound solution for parties and events.
No need to worry – you can turn your ANNY® all the way up, because the built-in DynX® DSP (Gen. 2) delivers distortion-free, clean and powerful sound even at maximum volume.
Thanks to the energy-saving ECO preset, ANNY® can run for an especially long time for background music or speech-only applications. At medium volume, this mode enables continuous operation for up to 11 hours. For your party at maximum volume in the MUSIC preset, the battery lasts for an impressive 3.5 hours at full capacity. You can further extend the operating time with the optional spare battery; simply replace the empty battery with a fully charged one and you’re ready to continue.
To ensure your mobile phone or tablet is always ready to use, you can place it in the integrated holder and charge it via the USB-C port on the back of ANNY®.
If you travel a lot with your ANNY® 8, you’ll appreciate the optional ANNY® 8 BACKPACK as the ideal protective backpack with versatile carrying options: shoulder strap, backpack straps and carry handle. The water-repellent backpack offers extra storage space and protects your ANNY® 8 from the elements.
So go ahead and create unforgettable moments. With ANNY® by your side, you’ll create a great atmosphere and first-class sound – wherever you are.
