The TC Electronic Thrust BQ500 combines enormous power reserves and extremely useful features in an ultra-compact and easily portable cabinet format. This 500W class-D amplifier head weighs just over 2kg and can be used with any existing bass speaker with at least 4 Ohm impedance thanks to the Speaker Twist connection. In addition the Thrust BQ500 features a switchable compressor, 4-band equalizer with 2x mid frequencies and multiple connections for headphones, auxiliary equipment and a balanced XLR output.
Thrust Comp In addition to the ability to adjust the input section to active and passive pick-ups via a switch, the BQ500's switchable Thrust Compressor offers additional possibilities to optimize the dynamics and response of the incoming signal. When activated, the single knob compressor polishes the dynamic range of the bass signal to add punch and warmth to the sound.
Aux In & Balanced Out The Thrust BQ500 is ideal for both rehearsals and professional recording sessions, as demonstrated by its extensive rear panel connectivity. For rehearsals and jams, backing tracks and songs can easily be played back via the Aux input, while the symmetrical DI-out in XLR format delivers crystal-clear sounds for professional recording tracks or easily passes them on to the FoH console.
The main features of the TC Electronic Thrust BQ500 include:
500W Class-D Bass Amplifier
Compact & Lightweight Design
4-Band Equalizer
Active/Passive Switch (Level Compensation for Active/Passive Pick-Ups)
Bought as a backup for touring. Plenty of power, solid build, and very affordable. Wish I'd bought elsewhere, DV customer service is terrible, took a long time to get the item delivered from German store to UK, yet Thomann manage with ease?? Tried all numbers to speak to someone, no-one picks up. Won't use them again.
i bought this to power a second markbass 800w cabinet for bass chorus stereo set up, i was both pleased and horrified when it sounded just as good if not better than my 500w little marcus powering the clean channel. at £179 (including brexit import duty) its almost one third of the price I paid for the markbass amp. delighted with it and highly recommend to beginners to professionals
An absolute gem of a buy, but the service by the music store and the price was second to none will continue to use these guys from now on best I’ve used and faultless
