Overview

The result is the AL-MK500, a 575W RMS funk powerhouse with low-impedance instrument input, illuminated VU meter, Harmonic Emphasis, 12-band graphic EQ, switchable pre- and post-EQ balanced direct output, tuner output with mute switch, line output, effects loop, and speaker outputs on jack and Speakon connectors.
