Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator

Amplify your acoustic sound with the Zoom AC-2 Acoustic Creator. The AC-2 is a DI (Direct Box) that includes everything you need for a natural guitar tone on stage or in the studio. The AC-2 automatically restores the sound lost by acoustic pickups, so your tone always remains full, resonant, and true to the instrument in your hands.

Restore Your Acoustic Tone

With 16 source-guitar presets, the AC-2 recreates the tonal characteristics of a wide variety of guitar types and body shapes. Choose from dreadnought, bass, nylon-string, 12-string and more. Simply select the guitar you want, then choose piezo or magnetic pickup.

After that, the AC-2 is ready to reproduce and amplify your guitar's tone with absolute accuracy.

Essential DI Features

The AC-2 features a high-quality preamp that boosts your signal and helps restore your authentic acoustic tone. Add its natural-sounding reverb to increase your acoustic's depth and width, and finish your desired tone with straightforward 3-band EQ settings.

Volume Control

The AC-2's volume control automatically adjusts the input gain and the preamp's output level, removing the guesswork from matching tone levels. It's everything you need to keep volume control and setup simple when playing live on stage.

Automatically Cut Feedback

The AC-2's balanced XLR output (with Ground/Lift and Pre/Post control) allows effortless connection to any PA mixer or studio console. It also includes two 6.35 mm jack outputs for mono or stereo connections to amplifiers, headphones, or audio interfaces.

Balanced at All the Key Points

Via the balanced XLR output (with Ground Lift and Pre/Post switching) you can easily hook the AC-2 to any PA mixer and studio console. Two 6.35 mm jack outputs are also provided for mono or stereo connections to guitar amps, headphones, and audio interfaces.

Always in Perfect Tune

The AC-2's built-in tuner with its large LED display makes it easy to see whether you're in tune.

The Unique Sound Of A 12-String

The beautiful, shimmering sound of a 12-string guitar is unmistakable. With the AC-2, your guitar retains its natural, chorused tone whenever you're on stage.

Up To 9 dB Additional Gain

You can also add 9 dB of boost with the AC-2's footswitch, allowing you to switch from strumming to fingerpicking without ever losing volume.

Three Power Options

Because the AC-2 is designed to improve your acoustic performance in any environment, it offers multiple power options. Two AA batteries provide up to three hours of operation. Alternatively, you can use the Zoom AD-16 AC adapter to power it, or the micro-USB port for bus power from your computer.
