Powerful, professional quality sound in a lightweight, portable package.

Designed for the singer/songwriter, the SA220 Solo Performance System is a powerful, yet lightweight, system—providing exceptional sound quality and coverage in a wide variety of venues. 220 watts of clean, lightweight power drive a line array of six custom high-excursion speakers and a soft-dome tweeter. This unique combination delivers incredibly full sound, ultra-wide dispersion, and deeper sonic penetration than the common speaker cabinet. Better yet, the enhanced bass response of the custom-designed speakers means there's no need for a subwoofer.

With the SA220 system, the performer and audience hear exactly the same sound, meaning there's no need for separate wedge monitors or a combo amp backline. The SA220 is voiced for the singer/songwriter, acoustic instruments and vocals are projected with superb depth and clarity.

The ultimate in portability

The SA220 weighs only 25 lb., ships complete with a padded bag equipped with wheels, and includes a rugged speaker stand. Set up takes less than a minute, with only one trip to the car. Plus full-digital universal power means that its amplification system is ready to travel anywhere in the world (compatible with international power systems).

Features that performing musicians demand

Fishman didn't make the SA220 this portable by scaling back on features or tone. It's also equipped with two mic/instrument channels featuring high-quality preamps, each with 3-band EQ, phantom power, built-in reverb, effects loop, and feedback-fighting notch filter, and phase controls. In fact, Fishman included all of the prized elements of the Loudbox family amps and added a unique monitor feature designed to revolutionize an acoustic duo's ability to hear each other on stage.

Features

  • Solo Performance System with exceptional sound quality and coverage for a wide variety of venues
  • Fully digital (Class D) power amp And power supply
  • Universal voltage allows operation outside the U.S.
  • Ultrahigh excursion custom drivers and a servo power amp implementation eliminate the need for subwoofer support
  • Compact line-array design for ultrawide horizontal dispersion and deeper sound penetration than traditional acoustic combo amplifiers
  • 2 mic/instrument input channels with 3-band EQ, phantom power, and high-quality preamps accept a wide range of input sources—from acoustic instruments to microphones to line level sources
  • Mic/instrument channels offer independent reverb level, effect loops, plus feedback-fighting phase and notch filters
  • Drivers: 6x4" cone midrange (200W), 1" neodymium soft-dome tweeter (20W) with tweeter level control
  • Auxiliary stereo input with level control
  • 4 Digital reverb effects with master level

I spent years schleping big PA's for acoustic gigs and got tired of it.      I do solo, duo, and trio acoustic gigs and use the Fishstick almost all of the time there isn't a system at the venue.      Yes, it only has two channels so I have to use an additional board for the duo or trio.      Yes, it has limited bass response so the cajon doesn't sound as big as it should.      But... it weighs 28 pounds and sounds very good.      It doesn't sound as good as the larger Bose systems but it is significantly easier to move and set-up and costs about 1/2 as much.      You get more than 1/2 the sound.

All in all, if you see it for what it is and don't expect it to sound like a large full range PA or a much more expensive and complicated Bose system, you should be very happy with it.

The EQ & reverbs are passable but could be better.      It has adequate power for smaller venues.      The bottom end is limited.      It has two channels.      For a solo act it works very, very well.      For something larger, you may need to add an external mixer.      Bass frequencies will be attenuated.

I've had mine for a good while (it is the earlier model called the soloamp but I think other than the name change it is exactly the same) and it is working well.      I did have one clip on the bag break and as was said the bag is tricky to use.      If it isn't perfectly balanced, it falls over while you pull it.

The general design is great and it does exactly what it intends to do.

It isn't an inexpensive piece of equipment but it is a good price for what you get.

I wrote another review ("Holy Grail") about a year ago, and I wanted to check back in to report how the SA220 has been holding up.  Overall, this has been a high quality piece of equipment.  Recently, though, the Ch. 1 gain knob started to act squirrely.  The signal would get stuck at one level no matter how you turned the gain.  I contacted Fishman, and they were more than helpful, diagnosing the problem and then giving me a range of options.  Ultimately, I'm going to take the front panel off and send it in for a $50 repair.  I was very impressed with the intelligence and care of the customer service. Apart from the gain knob issue, the amp has been very reliable.  We prefer it in nearly every instance to the house PA.  We affectionately call it "Fishy." People are still amazed at the even distribution, the clarity, the monitor effect, everything. One more thing; I just discovered the other day that the amp has not two or even three, but four adjustable input channels: two in front and then the "aux" (which I knew) but also the "monitor."  Since EQ is rarely necessary, these are just as good as the other channels.

FISHSTICK ROCKS

I've had the Solo for 10 months.  I use it for my one man band combined with a loudbox 100.  I use a voicelive plus and a boss drum machine, rock and roll and ballady stuff.  The Fishman is just incredible.  I run the vocals thru the stick and the guitar through the loudbox, mixed with a little Mackie mixer.  I'm very impressed with the absolutely clean sound, with no hum or feedback.  I tried the Bose and this unit kicks it's butt!  If you are serious about your audience , all your audience, hearing what you hear, the fish Stick is it!
