Description
Description
ANNY – your battery-powered sound solution for absolutely anywhere: whether you’re in the city, in the garden, at gatherings, at sporting events, at school and dance events, in bars, at parties – wherever you are, ANNY lets you deliver professional sound and create unforgettable moments.
As the lightest and most compact model in the ANNY® series, ANNY® 8 is equipped with an 8" woofer and a 1" tweeter. Thanks to its well-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 lets you tilt your ANNY® 8 when it’s on the ground to optimise sound dispersion, or to use it 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 outstanding 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, plus Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC codec.
This range of inputs enables a wide variety of setups mixing speech and music. The footswitch input allows you to switch the reverb & delay effects easily and hands-free with 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 reduced when you use the microphone.
The ANNY® 8 HHD variant already comes equipped with a wireless microphone – just insert the included AA batteries and you’re ready to go. The volume can be adjusted separately on the associated receiver module on the back of ANNY. This expands your connectivity with an additional input channel, giving you even more combination options.
To further increase versatility, True Wireless Stereo (TWS) allows you 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 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 play for extra long 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 an impressive up to 3.5 hours at full capacity. You can extend the operating time even further with the optionally available backup battery; simply replace the empty battery with a fully charged one and you’re ready to continue.
To make sure 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 often travel 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 provides 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 premium sound – wherever you are.
