Thank you for choosing the 

DAVID X

 amplifier. DAVID X represents the state of the art in Swiss 

amplifier design, reflecting all the needs of the user. Offering a significantly improved power amp 

and speaker section, together with a crossover filter network, limiter and gain, this amp provides 

120 W (112 dB SPL) of bi-amplified analog power. DAVID X is equipped with a 1” dome tweeter 

and 6” woofer. It has been engineered with an optimized 2-way bass reflex system. 

DAVID X is ideal for those seeking no-compromise acoustic instrument amplification. An effective 

system for practice and home studio use, DAVID X’s size also makes it the most portable and flexible 

SCHERTLER amplifier model. The three inputs can accept two instruments, or an instrument and a 

vocal microphone, plus a stereo playback device.

SCHERTLER  amps  feature  a  sophisticated  Class-A  preamp  with  no  integrated  circuits  and  No 

Negative Feedback (NNFB), resulting in unparalleled dynamics and fast transient behavior.

To make the most of your DAVID X amplifier and to ensure trouble-free operation, please 

read this 

manual carefully

 before using the amp for the first time. We also advise keeping the manual for 

future reference.
