Interested if anyone has personal experience with this amp? Impressions of overall sound quality? Does is have phantom power (does not appear so in the images and no mention in the description....strange for such an expensive amp...)? thanks

I have a SR tech JAM 150 (SR was the original company, people from ACUS left SR when it was bought by Schertler)

The phantom power is always ON on mine.

As far as your model, on the center top, you see a switch with PH. Manual says it is meant to power condenser microphones.

Does it have a speaker pole mount?

Ended up with the ONEforstrings8 instead, very impressed! Yes, it does have phantom power. Great sound - more natural and "transparent" for lack of better description than other high-end acoustic amps I've owned, no muddy bass end. Gorgeous fit and finish, which it should have, considering the price. First gigs with it this coming weekend, I will report back.

Pictures of that model show it mounted on a pole, but no detail shot of the hardware type used.

Mine can be mounted on a standard 1 1/4" speaker stand.

Very nice. My guess is that is probably $8k - $10k worth of ACUS equipment. Yikes! But it sure sounds great. I wonder what type of pick-up the player has and it there is any pre-amp before the signal gets to the mixer.

My new unit says it was built in Italy; their offices may be in Copenhagen however.

I did find out the guitar in that video is a
Junker" (pronounced younker),local luthier.
"Fellowship of acoustic" is the name of the
dealer in copenhagen . Acus are made in Italy.
FOA has lots of cool stuff.
