MARKBASS APPARATUS
In the development of all Markbass instruments, care is taken to ensure that they are as innovative as possible and are truly what is at the top of the imaginary bass ladder. Interestingly, the Italian brand's philosophy has managed to combine big, variable and high-quality sound with minimising size and, most importantly, weight - an undeniable advantage, not least for those who need to travel frequently with their gear.
Within the Markbass amplifiers you can find both transistor and tube models, and for the end amplifiers not only analogue but also digital is used, which makes it possible to create a really wide range of instruments with a very interesting sound that can be used almost everywhere. The best electronics are used for maximum quality, all major components are siliconized to protect against unwanted vibrations, the chassis of the amplifiers is made of 2 mm thick aluminium sheet, the cabinet of the combos is made of reliable multi-layered poplar plywood. Only neodymium magnets are used in the combos, which have excellent technical parameters and at the same time very low weight. Simply put - quality wherever you look.
COMBO HEAD CMD 151P
This Combo Head is one of the instruments that will convince you that a 15 inch speaker really doesn't sound dull and boring. The uses of this little thing are really wide and its sound is truly breathtaking. What's more, as with all Markbass products - despite its great power, it's still a mobile device.
This combo has a power output of 300W when connecting internal speakers, which have a total impedance of 8 Ohm. The minimum load when connecting external speakers must be 4 Ohm, at which you get a power output of 500W.
On the yellow control panel, a bit unconventionally placed on the top of the cabinet, you will find a standard input for a 6.3 jack cable from your instrument, but there is also an XLR connector. Both passive and active basses can be plugged into the jack connector without any problems, the XLR input is there for plugging in electroacoustic basses, but it is possible to plug it in at the same time as the jack input and have, for example, a microphone in it.
To adjust the volume of the sound, there are Gain and Master potentiometers, with Gain setting the signal level before the preamp input, and Master setting the overall volume. To avoid any clipping and unwanted distortion, there is an LED behind the Gain control to indicate clipping. Equalization of the sound is done with four controls, namely Bass, Mid Low, Mid High and High. All these potentiometers have a range of +/- 16dB at a given frequency, which is 40 Hz for Bass, 360 Hz for Mid Low, 800 Hz for Mid High and 5 kHz for High. It's really no problem to set up any quality sound you want. For even more versatility, there are VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulation) and VPF (Variable Pre-shape Filter) potentiometers behind the EQ. VLE basically takes away the high frequencies, making the sound softer and more "vintage" sounding, VPF adds bass around 35 Hz and treble around 10 kHz, while taking away the mids at 380 Hz, making the sound more modern, "rockier".
The rear panel of the unit houses the speaker-out outputs, both in the form of a 6.3 jack and a Neutrik Speakon-Combo. Recommended for use with single- or dual-speaker loudspeakers, it is possible to use either just the internal speakers or just the external box, it is also possible to combine both. Next to it is a post-EQ line-out with Ground-Lift switch, below is an unbalanced tuner-out for tuner connection, but any other device not requiring a balanced signal can be plugged into it. The last elements are the parallel effects loop input and output.
Looking at the cabinet of this machine, you will find that it houses a 15 inch speaker and contains a neodymium magnet, for optimum sound projection there is a bass reflex located on the back of the cabinet. The frequency range is 40 to 18,000 Hz, the crossover is set at 3.5 kHz, and the speaker sensitivity is 100 dB SPL.
The Markbass CMD 151P is therefore the ideal companion for musicians demanding great sound without any compromise. This beast is truly guaranteed to make you heard.
