Straightforward and simple, the Sona 23c delivers exquisite sound quality and gracefully covers the audio bandwidth at volumes ranging from whisper-quiet to the threshold of pain.

Its controls and jacks are placed on the back of the amp for easy access and adjustment. XLR and 1/4" line-level outputs allow you to route your synth signals to another amp, the house P.A., or a recording console.

The 23c’s line output level is unaffected by adjustments to the master volume knob, which is the way it should be.

The word "SONA" is taken from an ancient word that simply means "sound". Barbetta chose it to convey our belief that good sound is the one thing that matters most to musicians and performers. Fancy cosmetics and exotic cabinet shapes don’t add up to much if the sound isn’t really right. This is why Barbetta focuses on building products that give you the sound you need, even if they have to use more complex and expensive methods of construction. So when they say SONA, they not only mean sound, but top quality sound, plenty of it, and sound that you can easily take with you wherever you need to go. That’s the guiding concept behind the word SONA.
