Mixer, connections and wireless playback

The integrated mixer provides system presets, a 3-band EQ, reverb, delay and a priority/ducking mode. Two switchable mic/line combo sockets, a stereo line input via a 3.5 mm jack and a further stereo line input via two RCA sockets allow for the connection of various signal sources. A balanced 3-pin XLR mix output is provided for transmitting the output signal. The 6.3 mm footswitch input allows hands-free control of the internal effects. For wireless audio playback, BT 5.0 with SBC/AAC and True Wireless Stereo (TWS) are available for connecting two ANNY speakers.

Model-specific features include a handheld transmitter, a receiver module and an antenna. Of the two receiver module slots, one is fitted with the included receiver module. The handheld transmitter features adjustable input sensitivity and an infrared interface for synchronisation with the receiver. It requires two AA/LR6 alkaline batteries to operate. The radio receiver operates using FM modulation, offers 12 channels and a frequency response of 50 Hz to 17,000 Hz. The radio frequency range is 823–832 MHz + 863–865 MHz.
