FCC and CE Compliancy Statement

The Stagg AS series speakers are a range of 2-way full-range speaker systems designed for various applications, including musical instrument amplification, event production, DJ setups, and general venues. These speakers are characterized by their modern design, ease of use, and portability.

Function Description:

The AS series speakers offer multiple connectivity and mixing possibilities. They include a USB media player for playing audio files directly and integrate Bluetooth™ technology for wireless audio streaming. A key feature is True Wireless Stereo (TWS) pairing, which allows two compatible AS series speakers to link wirelessly for a true stereo sound experience.

ASB models (AS8B, AS10B, AS12B, AS15B) are battery-powered and come equipped with UHF microphones (one or two depending on the model), making them suitable for use in locations without immediate power access.
