ULTRABASS BA210

Fig. 3.3: Bi-amping: high and low frequencies are separately resproduced by the bass cabinets

When using the BASS V-AMP or the BASS V-AMP PRO, you also have the option of using bass cabinets in the bi-amping mode. With bi-amping, high and low frequency ranges are split between different bass cabinets, so that the entire sound spectrum is not simultaneously reproduced on all speakers. In fig. 3.3, low-end signals are reproduced on the BA115, while the mids and the highs are reproduced on the BA210. Splitting the frequency range requires an active crossover.

The BASS V-AMP and the BASS V-AMP PRO already feature one such function. Here, the frequencies are split in such a way that the low-end signals are reproduced on the left channel, and the mids and the highs are reproduced on the right channel. How to make the necessary settings on the crossover (X-OVER function) is explained in chapter 6.3 (post amp effects) in the BASS V-AMP/BASS V-AMP PRO manual.

Fig. 3.4: Expaned stereo configuration

This stereo setup is meant for all those who crave a saturated stereo sound. Together with the BASS V-AMP or the BASS V-AMP PRO, stereo effects such as Chorus or Delay truly come alive. Real stereo effects require two separate cabinets set up to run in stereo. Our EUROPOWER EP2500 is perfect in the amplifier role. Additionally, with its 2 x 1,200 Watts, it has the necessary headroom to truly rock.

This is the expansion to the setup shown in fig. 3.3. Instead of powering two individual cabinets, the amp in fig. 3.4 powers each of the two stacks comprised of the BA115 and the BA210 cabinets. The cabinets are connected to one another using a link cable. Here, too, we recommend using only professional loudspeaker cables (compatible with NEUTRIK® SPEAKON®).

This makes it an attractive option for those looking for clarity and precision in their sound.

Lastly, the cabinet comes with integrated handles for easy lifting and carrying, and rubber feet to ensure stability and prevent slipping during performances. The Behringer BA210 is tailored for bassists seeking a reliable, high-quality cabinet that offers a blend of power, sound clarity, and portability, making it a fantastic choice for both practice and performance applications.
