2x10 Signature Bass Combo with 300 Watt power and two equalizers
The Markbass Marcus Miller CMD 102 500 Bass Combo convinces as a product of the ingenious collaboration between the New York bass genius and the Italian amplifier forge with a character-strong sound and the well-known ease of transport. Here, 300 watts of power and two 10" loudspeakers provide a rich sound image at stage-suited volumes, while two separate equalizers guarantee tonal variability. Thanks to the wedge housing, the amp can be set up like a monitor. The bass amplifier also features a serial effects path and a balanced line output for direct bass pickup on live gigs or in the recording studio.
Variable preamp with two equalizers
The Markbass Marcus Miller CMD 102 500 convinces with a particularly tidy sound, which can be precisely adjusted with the two equalizers. EQ1 represents a 5-band tone control that allows precise adjustment of the sound image with up to 16 dB boost or cut in the character-forming frequency bands. In EQ2, on the other hand, the "Old School" Low Pass Filter can be used to get a warm Vintage sound, while the "Millerizer", as a variable band pass, lowers the mids for the typical Miller sound.
300 Watt power and 2x10 loudspeakers
For bass reproduction, the Markbass Marcus Miller CMD 102 500 uses two Markbass custom neodymium loudspeakers with ten-inch diaphragms and a piezo tweeter. In combination with the 300 Watt power of the modern Class D amplifier, the Combo Amp delivers an extremely powerful and well-balanced sound, whose volume reserves are loosely suitable for use in the bandroom or on the club stage. The wedge housing allows the combo to be placed at an angle so that the loudspeakers radiate directly onto the player for better sound location. For direct signal pickup, the Markbass Marcus Miller CMD 102 500 also offers a balanced line out, which picks up the signal before or after the tone control and effect path thanks to the pre/post switch.
