The Friedman ASM-10 modeler/profiler wedge monitor delivers the "truest" sound out of your amplifier modelers in a traditional kick-back monitor design. This rugged 500-watt monitor boasts the looks of a traditional speaker cabinet but is designed for the sonic transparency and sonic spread of a wedge monitor. Inside, you'll find a 10" Celestion speaker and a 1.75" HF driver paired with a 500-watt, bi-amp design that ensures your full tone shows through. Play through the Friedman ASM-10, and experience a new level of onstage authenticity from your modeling devices.

Why Buy Live Sound at Sweetwater?


Cabinet designed for onstage convenience





Though the ASM-10 can be used in a myriad of ways, its wedge cabinet shape makes it easy to integrate into your onstage rig. Put the ASM-10 next to the PA's other floor wedge for a streamlined look that sends your tone directly to your ears. Or place it on top and behind you, and it takes on the looks of any other amplifier rig. And its ability to switch between guitar and PA duties makes the ASM-10 one of the most flexible stage solutions we've seen at Sweetwater.





Class G amplifier that's anything but digital





At the heart of the ASM-10 is an analog Class G power amplifier. This amp design, proprietary to Friedman Amplification, delivers rich, full tone and a wide frequency response. This allows the ASM-10 to not only be used as a guitar stage monitor, but it's also suited for backline or even as your main PA speaker ? it even includes a pole-mounting cup for such applications. And the 500-watt power rating should be enough for almost any situation where you need it to be heard.





Friedman quality





The name Friedman Amplification is synonymous with high-quality electric guitar products. Dave Friedman has been building and modding gear for some of the most respected names in electric guitar for years. Seeing a trend toward using direct modeled signals onstage, Mr. Friedman answered the call with the ASM-10 active amplifier modeler/profiler monitor. You can have all the attention to detail, amazingly accurate tone, and premium components that Friedman is known for in an onstage amp for your modeling-based rig.
