NEWS UPDATE - THE AD5 COMBO - AVAILABLE IN JULY

Published: 08 April 2008
This is the third edition of this compact but powerful combo. Orange first introduced the AD5 in 1999 when a total run of 64 combos were hand built point-to-point and fitted with Alnico Eminence 10” speakers. Then 2003 saw the launch of the PCB version loaded with a Jensen P10R Alnico: the production run then was 60 combos..


“The new AD5 is the same circuit as the original 1999 edition but is made with a PCB,”  explains Orange’s Technical and Research Director, Adrian Emsley.

“The combo’s speaker is a newly-developed 10” known as the Celestion 40. This speaker is pretty close to their new ‘Greenback 10’ and after trying out all other options we decided that this is the one that best suits the AD5.”
