Ampeg SVT-410HLF Classic Series 4x10 Bass Enclosure Feature

  • Ported Cab Design Provides Extended Low Range
  • HF Horn Driver with 1" Voice Coil for Punch and Clarity

Ampeg SVT-410HLF: Versatile, High Fidelity Performance

This is the speaker cabinet for the bass player who demands the ultimate in a single, compact cabinet setup. The SVT-410HLF delivers devastating low-end bass, all the way down to 28Hz, thanks to four 10" speakers working together to move a tremendous amount of air. The SVT-410HLF actually moves 10% more air than two 18-inch speakers, and 25% more than three 15-inch speakers. And those leviathans simply can't respond to transient peaks as quickly as four tens can.The SVT-410HLF also delivers superb top-end, thanks to its 1" horn driver, strategically crossed over at 4kHz.

This is a favorite enclosure for such artists as Meshell Ndegeocello, John McVie of Fleetwood Mac, and Ricky Skaggs' bass player, Mark Fain.

The Ampeg SVT-410HLF: A Great Choice for Bass Players
The Ampeg SVT-410HLF is the supreme speaker enclosure for the multi-string bass player seeking both superior power handling and true high-fidelity performance.

The Story of the SVT: Ampeg Amps

Ampeg's Classic Series is all about the Ampeg SVT. Ampeg pioneered Super-Valve Technology in the 1960s and continue to offer the ultimate, top-performance gear to the world's most demanding bassists.

The SVT has become the bass amp that all rock bassists dream of, whether they're famous or completely unknown.

Former Bass Player editor Scott Malandrone put the SVT in perspective this way: "The SVT has done for the sound of electric bass what the Marshall Super Lead had done for the electric guitar--it would give the instrument an identity."

Ampeg Amps: Built to Be Worked Hard
Ampeg, (a division of Loud Technologies) is recognized world-wide as the premier name in bass and guitar amplification since the 1960's, when the SVT (Super Valve Tone) bass amplifier took the rock world by storm with its 300 watts, 8 x10" speaker cabinet and a tone that would go on to set the standard for rock and roll bass. Today, Ampeg continues on as the leader in professional bass gear and a cherished manufacturer of classic guitar amplifier designs with a continuing tradition of advancing bass tone through quality & innovation.

For more than 60 years, Ampeg has produced some of the music industry's most innovative and memorable gear, satisfying the needs of musicians of all levels. From the largest tours to the corner pub, artists depend on Ampeg amps to get their message across, regardless of style or stature. The Ampeg SVT-410HLF is a great example of how Ampeg knows that players have different tastes, and make the configuration YOU are looking for. The world-renowned Classic Series Cabinets are synonymous with bass enclosures - they've simply set the standard for decades. The Ampeg SVT-410HLF delivers extended range and unexpected low end from a 4x10-inch cabinet. It features dual Neutrik Speak-On and 1/4-inch input and output jacks. Its high frequency horn is controlled with a variable level attenuator. To prevent overpowering and damaging the horn, a resistive bulb is wired in series with the horn for protection.

Behringer EurOlive B215XL 1000-Watt 2-Way Pa Speaker System with 15 Woofer And 1.75 Titanium Compression Driver (Black)

Behringer EurOlive B215XL 1000-Watt 2-Way Pa Speaker System with 15 Woofer And 1.75 Titanium Compression Driver (Black) Review



Behringer EurOlive B215XL 1000-Watt 2-Way Pa Speaker System with 15 Woofer And 1.75 Titanium Compression Driver (Black) Feature

  • High-power 2-way PA sound reinforcement speaker system for live and playback applications (250 Watts Continuous / 1000 Watts Peak Power)
  • Ultra-compact and light weight system delivers excellent sound even at extreme sound pressure levels
  • Extremely powerful 15" long-excursion driver provides incredibly deep bass and acoustic power
  • State-of-the-art 1.75'' titanium-diaphragm compression driver for exceptional high-frequency reproduction
  • Ultra-wide dispersion, large-format exponential horn
These loudspeakers take everything musicians love about the original B215 and upgrade them with the same bass and treble/mid transducers found in Behringer's wildly popular B215A active versions for even better sound and power handling. And with integrated overload protection circuitry, they arrive ready to push it to the limit without putting their high or low frequency drivers in danger.

High-power 2-way PA sound reinforcement speaker system for live and playback applications (250 Watts Continuous / 1000 Watts Peak Power). Click to enlarge.

View feature diagram. Click to enlarge.

Also available in white.

Triumphant Transducers
Every stitch of these loudspeakers is built to deliver, but the fact is that their transducers (woofers and tweeters) are the only part you actually hear. While some manufacturers are okay with putting off-the-shelf transducers in their boxes, we custom-design and build ours from scratch. Not only do we wind our own voice coils, we grow the trees that are processed into the paper pulp that becomes the cones. We even machine the frames and backplates. BEHRINGER's quality is truly under control.

Big Sound, Lightweight, Low Price
Big here, small there, lots of this, light on that--everyone's got their preferences, but the EUROLIVE B215XL has proportions we can all agree upon. These loudspeakers pack a clean, punchy wallop (and can handle up to 1000 Watts), they are easy to lift by their recessed handles (38.7 lbs) and are available at insanely low prices. Who wouldn't want to hook up with one of these beauties?

Stand-Mountable
The B215XL is perfect either as part of a PA system or as an onstage monitor. If the situation calls for a PA, mount the speakers on stands via the 35mm pole socket. From there, send a line from the MAIN OUT of a mixer (such as a XENYX 1202FX) to a power amplifier (like the EUROPOWER EP1500). Finally, attach B215XL to each of the amp's outputs. These loudspeakers have inputs for both professional speaker cable and 1/4-inch cable. Because these loudspeakers have two parallel inputs, you can connect up to two of them to any channel on a power amp.

But they don't have to be confined to an upright position. Just lay them on their sides for use as a floor monitor. You'll find that they tilt to the ideal angle for onstage monitor wedge applications.

Choose White, Black, on or off the Wall...
You asked for it, and now Behringer is proud to offer these loudspeakers in black or white. You can also purchase swiveling wall-mount brackets for the B215XL. That means they're ready to fit even more comfortably into a venue's color scheme and layout.

  • Low-noise, velocity sensitive pads
  • Fully-adjustable setup
  • Extremely durable
  • Expandable with third cymbal or second bass pedal
Rock solid, hard-rocking drums.

The rock solid, heavy-duty electronic Pro Session drum set from Ion Audio (model IED09) is ready to stand up to the pounding drummers can exact on their gear. With a rugged rack (stand) and adjustable hardware, you'll have no problem setting it up the way you like to play. This compact, low-noise drum set delivers that feel of acoustic drums and the flexibility of a great-sounding electronic drum-sound module.

This complete electronic drum set fits into a fraction of the space of an acoustic drum set and comes with everything you need to get started playing. Pro Session Drums come with natural-feeling drum and cymbal pads, foot pedals for hi-hat and bass drum, all the cables you'll need, as well as a power adapter.

Pro Session Drums also feature a drum-sound module with over 100 different instruments in 15 drum sets. You can modify and save the drum sounds and drum set for totally custom setups! There are 41 play-along music patterns for practicing and jamming out. You can listen to the drum parts on the patterns to get ideas for what to play, then mute the drums and play your own part. There are lights that show you what to play in case you want some assistance. You can record your drum performance and listen back. There's also a metronome built in for learning to play with a steady beat.

Pro Session Drums have standard 1/8-inch stereo jack connections for headphones, connecting to your home stereo or amplifier, and a mix-in input for a CD or MP3 player.

Key Features

  • Rugged, heavy duty, compact, foldable, adjustable rack (stand)
  • Great-feeling drum and cymbal pads
  • Over 100 drum, cymbal, and percussion instrument sounds

  • Record and listen to your drum performances
  • Play-along music included
  • Metronome for learning to play with a steady beat
Drum Rocker delivers the most realistic drumming experience available to any gamer, regardless of platform. That's because it was built by the engineers at Alesis, one of the largest manufacturers of professional electronic drums in the world. As a result, you get a kit that's designed to take a real beating, with all the positioning flexibility that professional drummers demand. While other drum controllers lock you down to a pre-molded plastic array of pads, Drum Rocker's professional aluminum drum rack lets you position your snare, tom and cymbal pads wherever you want. When you're ready to move from playing Rock Band to playing in a rock band, you can swap the game controller module with one of the professional drum brains made by Alesis, and you're ready to hit the road for real! Drum Rocker's velocity-sensitive drum pads feature a playing surface that is much quieter than other drum controllers. They also feel great – the stick rebound off of the pad is much more natural and consistent than anything else available. The pad housing is made of high-impact plastic, designed to be whacked on stage night after night. No matter how much you punish them, the Drum Rocker drum pads can take it. Complete the experience with up to three cymbals. There's nothing like finishing a monster fill by whacking a crash cymbal. Or crossing over to play your hi-hat with your right hand while you keep the backbeat on the snare with your left. Or keeping time on a ride cymbal during the chorus. Drum Rocker lets you do all that and more, with cymbals that can be placed anywhere around the kit. Drum Rocker comes with two cymbals and mounting hardware out of the box, and a third cymbal is available as an optional accessory. You get to decide how you want to use the two cymbals that come with the kit – set them up as a hi-hat/crash, crash/ride or hi-hat/ride combination, then add the third cymbal to round out the kit.

Based on the critically acclaimed TBP-1 tube bass preamp, the key to the TB-600's creamy tone is a passive tone stack, the backbone of classic Fender guitar and bass amps. This passive tone stack has an interactive nature, with each knob affecting the others, resulting in big, warm notes that represent the natural sound of the bass being played. The TB-600C combo delivers 400W to its internal 8 ohm load, 600 watts when paired with any 8 ohm external cabinet. The head portion is rack mounted and can be pulled out for use as part of a larger system, however if you leave it inside it's enclosure, you're getting the sound of 2x10" Fender Special Design Cast Frame Eminence 16 ohm speakers and a Foster horn.
