Produktbeschreibung

Bass instrument amplification for the bass guitar, double bass and similar instruments is distinct from other types of amplification systems due to the particular challenges associated with low-frequency sound reproduction. This distinction affects the design of the loudspeakers, the cabinet, and the preamplifier and amplifier. Speaker cabinets for bass instrument amplification usually use larger loudspeakers (or more loudspeakers) than the cabinets used for other instruments. This is mainly because the sensitivity of the human ear falls off markedly at low frequencies, so that more power is needed to reproduce low frequencies at a given level of perceived volume. Speakers used for bass instrument amplification tend to be more heavy-duty to handle this higher power level. Bass instrument speaker cabinets are typically more rigidly constructed and heavily braced than cabinets for non-bass instrument amplification, and bass cabinets usually include tuned bass reflex ports or vents which are cut into the cabinet. Bass instrument amplifiers' preamplifier sections have equalization controls that are designed for bass instruments, and extend down to 40 hertz or even below.
