Description
EMD12
Maton Hardshell Case Included
Though it is a lot smaller than a standard dreadnought, this guitar packs a punch well above its weight.
This model features a Spruce top, solid Blackwood back and sides, now with the AP5 PRO pickup system, gold Grover machine heads, and a Vintage Amber Stain. The Mini Maton Diesel Model can be purchased in 6 and 12-string configurations.
All controls are now at your fingertips – their “resistance curves” have been designed and manufactured expressly for the AP5 PRO.
As a result, the bass, treble, and mid-range are now more “linear” in feel. The FQ (mid sweep) goes down lower and has a wider frequency band (600Hz to 2.4kHz ) to give greater control when targeting your specific sound.
Tighter components
Miniature surface mount components allow the preamp to be placed on one PCB, making the complete system smaller and less prone to hum and noise pickup.
The rigidity of this smaller PCB means it’s less prone to develop problems with ageing. Because it’s bolted into position in the casing, the whole assembly is less likely to develop rattles with the constant movement and shipping expected of a performing musician’s instrument.
At a glance
The AP5 has been held in the highest regard for over a decade by players all over the world. It was with this in mind that we began development of its successor.
Better sound quality
Clarity and fidelity of studio-quality sound in a live setting with Maton’s AP5 Pro pickup system.
Linear feel to the controls
Effortlessly adjust volume, tone, and EQ settings, empowering you to fine-tune your acoustic sound.
Expanded mid-sweep range
Covering from 600Hz to 2400Hz ensuring your guitar’s mid-range shines through with clarity.
New microphone system
Our updated mic system boasts unmatched definition in tonality and simplifies usability.
Battery upgrade
Battery choice is 2 x AA batteries, why? Energy density. Two AA batteries have almost twice the stored energy of a 9-volt for approximately the same space requirement, therefore giving the performer a much longer operational life before battery change.
The AP5 PRO also has improved battery terminals – both terminals are identical and now made from phosphor bronze – the same material used in ship propellers. It’s extremely corrosion resistant so should the batteries develop a leak the terminals can be easily cleaned to restore them to “as new” operation.
