OVERVIEW OF THE EKO GUITARS MIA A400ce

The MIA A400ce comes in a Natural color with a Gloss finish, and an Auditorium cutaway shape, a feature that allows the guitarist to easily reach the higher frets. The combination of Solid Cedar on the top and Ovangkol on the back and sides, the result of careful research, gives this instrument a very broad and always well-balanced tonal spectrum on every single string. A very important feature is the presence of a very high-performance amplification system, the Fishman Flex Blend: consisting of a piezo and an internal condenser microphone, this system allows every nuance of the guitar to be captured thanks to the possibility of gradually adding the signal picked up by the microphone to the piezo signal, via a "blend" potentiometer. Among the controls, in addition to the output Volume and blend, there is a display tuner (activatable by pressing the volume potentiometer) and an EQ control that works in "mid-scooped" mode: when set to minimum, the signal is not equalized (flat), increasing it gradually reduces the mid frequencies in favor of lows and highs, which is very convenient for getting a sound that is already "ready" for the mix. In case the guitar experiences feedback issues, a very common situation in acoustic settings, it is possible to invert the phase by pressing the EQ potentiometer. The combination of all these features makes the MIA A400ce an instrument suitable for professional contexts, both in the recording studio and on stage.
