1001RB Series

Tech Talk

Characteristics of the 1001RB:

The1001RB Series is a flexible, state-of-the-art Bass Amplifier, designed to deliver maximum performance, and be simple to operate. This is accomplished through a

.few, very important features:

· Extremely high current power supply and power amp circuitry, gets the sound out of your head.

Bi-Amp sound, two power amps, 540 Watts for the woofer, and 50 Watts for the horn. Electronic crossover, seamless two way sound. Four, Bass specific bands of active equalization for precise tone control.

Three voicing filters for shaping and customizing your sound.

Balanced direct output with level control eliminates need for a direct box. Continuously variable fan cooling. Designed and Built in the U.S. for years of reliability and quality service.

Current Output & Bass Response:

When a power amplifier is pushing several speaker cones, and a high-power transient like a string slap comes along, the amp has to tap into a large power reserve to maintain cone control. It’s kind of like grabbing a swing at the bottom of it’s travel and trying to push it the other way - it could knock you over. If the amplifier doesn’t have this ability, the sound is unresponsive and less out front. The amp loses it’s punch and feel at higher playing levels. Instead of responding to your every command, the amplifier simply cuts those transients off, leaving you with the feeling that something is missing in your sound.

Since most amplifiers have limited output current capacity, they need “current limiting circuits” to protect against self-destruction. High-power tran- sients trigger these circuits, which rob the amplifier of it’s ability to control speaker cones. This creates a mushy, unresponsive feel to your sound. The 1001RB Series has extremely high current capacity, so it doesn’t need current limiting circuits for over-load protection.

There is nothing in the 1001RB Series power amp to come between you and your sound except faithful, raw power.

Bi-Amp Sound:

Bass players have always liked the growl they get from slight overdrive. In GK amps this comes partly from the boost circuits and partly from the power amp. The problem is that growl, sounds great through woofers, and horrible through horns. In the typical full range system with a passive crossover, there is no way to get growl and keep the definition that the horn provides. The horn always has to be turned down. In a Bi-Amp system like the 1001RB Series, the woofer and the horn, each have their own power amp, allowing us to get growl in the woofer only, while keeping the horn sound crystal clear. Now you can over-drive the woofer as much as you want, and leave the horn all the way up, keeping the definition it brings to your sound. Running the 1001RB Series in Bi- Amp mode through a GK-RBH cabinet, for the first time allows full access to the benefits of Bi-Amp sound. This is the reason the 1001RB Series is a Bi-Amp, and it is the reason you will be able to explore an entirely new territory of Bass sound.

In addition, running high power amplifiers like the 1001RB Full-Range into cabinets with passively crossed over horns can cause failure to the horn, attenuator or protection elements in the speaker cabinet. Running high power amplifiers as Bi-Amp rigs eliminates these problems.
