The warmth and quick attack of the APX9NA’s fan-braced solid cedar top is perfectly matched to the guitar’s nylon-stringing, the rosewood back and sides contributing rich harmonics and a strong projection. Features like an ebony fingerboard and bridge emphasise the instrument’s top-range status, as does the elegant, wood-inlaid soundhole rosette.
The APX9NA’s internal mic is mounted on an adjustable gooseneck for optimum positioning, and the signal can be mixed with the excellent B-Band pickup for powered sounds that have superb clarity and a realistic concert-like ambience. The preamp’s wide-band, variable midrange (80Hz - 10kHz) further extends the tonal possibilities, while the phase reverse and supplied soundhole cover are effective for eliminating feedback at high volumes.
