[ATTACH=CONFIG]202279.vB5-nodeid=202279[/ATTACH]Mendrisio, Switzerland, 16th June 2016 – Schertler Group announces the release of TIM and TOM; two compact, high-performance, active analogue 2.1 amplification systems that are designed for both acoustic instrument amplification and for general PA use in a range of venues. Each system comprises a powerful active subwoofer and two passive satellites.
TIM is a 600W (350 +125+125) system that is ideal for use with acoustic instruments and in jazz or DJ sets. This system also forms a highly efficient compact PA for use in small to medium sized venues such as piano bars, gyms, conference rooms or ballrooms. Larger sibling TOM has a 1000W (500+250+250) output. This system has been specifically developed for use in medium to large sized indoor and outdoor venues, providing powerful coverage for a range of mobile sound reinforcement applications.
TIM and TOM’s subwoofers are constructed using BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) technology, which utilizes a linear power supply for excellent bass response and efficient stereo effect. Sub levels on both systems can be adjusted from -7dB to +2dB. In each system, the robustly constructed satellites are supplied directly by the sub. All satellites contain a passive crossover featuring a custom coil. Both systems also include other control features, such as a mono/stereo switch, for added flexibility.
TIM and TOM’s compact dimensions make them easy to transport, set up and dismantle, making them perfect performance partners. The systems can be supplied in either wood or anthracite grey finishes. Insulated padded bags are separately available to ensure safe transportation and storage.
TIM and TOM can be purchased from the Schertler online store (Europe, USA and Canada only), or via Schertler showrooms and distributors worldwide.

[HR][/HR]About the Schertler Group
Three companies, Schertler SA, SR Technology and Velvet Strings are at the heart of this innovative collaboration.
Founded in the early 1980s by bassist Stephan Schertler, Schertler SA has established a worldwide reputation for achieving the highest levels of accuracy in the reproduction of acoustic stringed instrument sound. The company’s research and development has focused on producing high-quality contact microphones and acoustic amplification systems. Schertler’s original approach to harnessing acoustic vibrations has resulted in a number of fundamental innovations, some of which have gained international patents. Current contact microphone ranges include the STAT, BASiK, Magnetico AG6 and flagship DYN P48 Series.
Between 2003 and 2011, Schertler launched its Classic and Deluxe series of compact amplifiers, with a range of models offering high quality portable stringed instrument amplification. The addition of the LaFaro amplifier for bass in 2012 represents the culmination of years of research to successfully amplify the sound of this complex instrument. Meanwhile, Schertler’s JAM line of guitar amplifiers has provided a global solution for portable, affordable sound reinforcement, quickly establishing itself as a market leader.
In 2012, Schertler acquired Italian manufacturer SR TECHNOLOGY in its entirety (the company was previously a subsidiary), in order to expand business into other market sectors. SR is dedicated to the development and production of high quality compact loudspeaker systems. Italian musicality combined with Swiss precision has formed the basis of the famous “SR Sound”; deep, decisive bass complemented by a soft, crisp mid range and perfectly integrated clear “highs”. The goal for all SR products is to combine transparency and musicality in an affordable product range, for live performance, home listening and installation, which does not compromise on sound quality.
As early as 1991, Stephan Schertler began to build quality strings for double bass that presented an alternative to standard steel ones. Amid a growing demand for his metal covered synthetic textile fibre strings, the Velvet Strings brand was born. The current range includes string sets for ‘cello and double bass, with strings for violin, viola and guitar soon to be available.
Schertler Group contact microphones and preamps are manufactured in Mendrisio, Switzerland, using in-house produced components. Acoustics amps are built in the Schertler Group manufacturing facility at Potenza Picena, Italy, developed in collaboration with the Group’s R&D offices in Switzerland and Italy.
Schertler Group products have become a first choice for live performances, broadcast and recording sessions, and we are proud to list some of the world’s major orchestras, ensembles and soloists as our ambassadors.
