Fig. 3.3: Bi-amping: high and low frequencies are separately resproduced by the bass cabinets
Fig. 3.4: Expaned stereo configuration
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.
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.
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.
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 ® ).
