ULTRABASS BA410

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®).

The Behringer BA410 is an impressive bass cabinet designed to meet the needs of both amateur and professional musicians. Known for its powerful sound, portability, and advanced features, the BA410 is a versatile choice for bassists of all genres.

One of the standout features of the BA410 is its four custom-designed 10-inch woofers, which deliver deep, punchy low frequencies that are essential for any bass performance.

Complementing these drivers is a powerful 1-inch tweeter that provides additional clarity and definition for high-frequency sounds, ensuring that the entire tonal spectrum is well represented.

The cabinet is constructed from high-quality materials, offering durability while remaining lightweight. This makes it easy for musicians to transport the BA410 to gigs and rehearsals. Additionally, the cabinet is designed with a rear bass reflex port, which enhances low-end response and improves overall efficiency. This innovative design feature aids in producing a full, rich sound without sacrificing portability.

Another significant aspect of the BA410 is its compatibility with a variety of amplifiers. With a power handling capacity of up to 800 watts, it can handle high-output signals without distortion. This allows bassists to use powerful amplifiers for larger performances or venues while ensuring sound quality remains intact.

The BA410 also features convenient stackability due to its compact size. Musicians can easily combine the cabinet with other Behringer models or their choice of rigs to create a full bass stack. Additionally, the cabinet is equipped with multiple input options, accommodating different configurations depending on the players' needs.

In terms of aesthetics, the BA410 has a sleek, modern look that fits in well with any stage or studio setup. The robust grille protects the speakers while giving it a professional appearance.

Ultimately, the Behringer BA410 is a reliable and powerful bass cabinet that brings high-quality sound and innovative features to musicians.
