The Laney AH200 is the education and small venue standard-bearer of the AudioHub 2026 range - a 200-watt multi-instrument amplifier with five independent channels, a 12" driver paired with a 1" compression driver and horn, Bluetooth audio, USB-C recording I/O, and comprehensive onboard DSP.
It replaces the outgoing AH200 with a redesigned cabinet that is 10% smaller, significantly lighter, and built to the quality standards demanded by professional education and venue environments.

- Headphone output for monitoring
- DI out for front-of-house and recording use
- Remote socket
- Downlit baffle with colour options - premium classroom and venue aesthetic

All Instruments Welcome - What That Means for the AH200
Five channels means the AH200 can serve a complete teaching scenario: teacher microphone on channel one, student acoustic guitar on two, student keyboard on three, student electric bass on four, student electric guitar on five - all simultaneously, all balanced, all from a single amplifier.
The compression horn extends frequency response into the range where vocal sibilance, keyboard harmonics, and acoustic guitar overtones live - delivering the full-range clarity that a woofer-only system simply cannot provide. This is not a guitar amp with extra inputs.
It is a professional-grade educational amplification system.
Bluetooth & USB-C - The Connected AH200
Bluetooth audio lets you stream backing tracks, playback audio, or connect any wireless device to the AH200 without a cable - essential for solo performers, classroom teachers managing a lesson flow, and content creators who switch between sources mid-session.
USB-C audio I/O transforms the AH200 into a multi-source recording hub: every channel going into the amp can be routed directly to your DAW or streaming software via a single USB-C connection, with no additional audio interface required.
Who Is the AH200 For?
The AH200 is the amp of choice for music educators, music venue managers, and worship leaders who require a reliable, powerful, multi-source amplification system. Five channels cover every classroom configuration.
The compression horn delivers the full-range clarity expected in professional teaching and performance environments. Universal voltage PSU makes it suitable for international education markets.
