Ernie Ball Turns up the Volume with Audiophile Bass Systems

Ernie Ball keeps the sound up for bass players with the HD-500 Bass Amp and four different speaker cabinets. The pro-quality system is lightweight, with plenty of clean, usable power.

The HD-500 will provide warm, punchy mids, bright, clear highs and a rich bottom end. It features a tube pre-amp section with active and passive inputs, adjustable gain from zero to 45dB, separate series and parallel effects loops, and two foot-switchable four-band EQ channels. The exclusive Loudspeaker Variable Response (LVR) circuit provides an adjustable high-frequency cutoff control, allowing today’s full range speaker enclosures to emulate the warm sound of vintage speaker cabs. The power amp section of the HD-500 is designed specifically for bass guitar output and delivers 500 watts of clean power into 4 ohms. It includes a built-in limiter with selectable release time. The HD-500 retails for $1,299.

The Audiophile Bass Systems speaker enclosures include:

HD-210 Speaker Cabinet (two 10" speakers, one super tweeter) $799

HD-212 Speaker Cabinet (two 12" speakers, one 6" midrange driver) $1,050

HD-410 Speaker Cabinet (four 10" speakers, one 6" midrange driver) $1,199

HD-610 Speaker Cabinet (six 10" speakers, one 6" midrange driver) $1,650

The ported cabinets are built from 18mm high-grade plywood using sturdy rabbet joint construction and durable carpet covering. They are loaded with proprietary B&C cast frame drivers, with Neutrik Speakon™ connectors and ¼" phone jacks provided on the rear. Each enclosure is rated at 8 ohms, except for the HD-610, which is 4 ohms. The HD-210 includes a 1" super tweeter, while the HD-212, HD-410, and HD-610 include a 6" midrange driver for full, smooth response throughout the sonic spectrum. The HD-410 and HD-610 are unique with B&C Neodymium magnet structures specifically designed for bass instrument reproduction. Neodymium magnets significantly improve the power to weight ratio of the HD-410 when compared to competing 4 x 10" bass speaker designs. These enclosures can be used individually or together for the ultimate bass speaker system.

A full spread of Audiophile Bass Systems gear can be seen at the January 2001 NAMM show in Anaheim. Available to order are the HD-500 amplifier and the HD-210, HD-212, HD-410, and HD-610 speaker enclosures. On the horizon for Ernie Ball Audiophile Bass Systems is a 210 Combo, to be shown in prototype form at the NAMM show. Still in development, the 210 Combo has a unique vertical style speaker arrangement, with a built-in amplifier featuring a tube compressor and 4-band semi-parametric EQ.

Ernie Ball was the first to offer rock strings with the creation of Slinkys, and further revolutionized the market by offering guitarists Custom-Gauge single strings. The Ernie Ball Company also produces Music Man guitars and basses, volume pedals, and other accessories. Strings and accessories are available in more than 5,500 music stores throughout the U.S. The company also exports to 68 countries.
