MB212-II Combo

The MB212-II is a full stage-ready bass combo, with a 500-watt power amp and two lightweight 12" neodymium speakers giving it enough low-end headroom to easily fill a medium-sized venue with ground-shaking volume! Also boasting built-in boost and limiter functions, as well as a horn for achieving greater top-end clarity, the Gallien-Krueger MB212-II is a must-have for the tone-conscious, performing bassist. Want to practice quietly? With the MB212-II's auxiliary input and headphone output, you can jam along to your favourite tracks in silence.

Key Features

  • 4-Band Active EQ — Derives from GK's legendary 800RB amp. Provides extensive tone-shaping potential so that you can find the sonic sweet-spot, especially with the 'Hi Mid' and 'Lo Mid' knobs.
  • Contour Control — Completely re-voices the amplifier by tuning between two different shaping circuits, with greatly different responses. When the the control is engaged, the low-end is slightly boosted, the mids are scooped, and the high-end is pushed up.
  • Variable Q — Another feature inherited from the 800RB. This unique design varies the EQ bandwidth to retain a musical response even at extreme settings. In other words, it's hard to make the MB212-II sound bad!
  • USA-Designed Speakers — The special Neo (neodymium) drivers with 2.5" edge-wound aluminium voice coils, designed just for this cabinet, are manufactured in the Gallien-Krueger USA factory.
  • Boost & Limiter — Attain that legendary Gallien-Krueger "growl" by turning up the MB212-II's dedicated boost control. Engage the limiter to prevent distortion; designed if you're playing anything loud like bombastic slap techniques!
  • Built-In Horn — Switch on the high-frequency tweeter to get some extra top-end spank or "air"; ideal for cutting through the mix.
  • Lightweight Design — Plywood construction, aluminium chassis, neodymium speakers, switch mode power supply and power amp deliver earth-shaking performance in a rugged 41lb (18.6kg) package. Each speaker is isolated in its own chamber; eliminating tone-robbing standing waves and sound leakage through the cabinet walls.
  • Contemporary Connectivity — Balanced DI with pre/post switch, aux in and headphone output for silent practice, plus "chain out" to drive GK's MBP powered enclosures. Pair with the 212 MBP.
  • Switch Mode Power — Extremely lightweight switch mode power supply and power amp delivers 500W to the internal speakers.
  • Critically Damped — The amp's port is specifically tuned for optimum performance, coupled with a particular jute blend of damping material that provides the right amount of damping at certain frequencies.
  • Smart Protection Circuitry — Constantly monitors for unsafe operating conditions such as short circuits, mis-wired speaker cables, blown speakers, improper ventilation, and incorrect speaker configurations.

Lots of bottom end, with excellent and optional growl. Good through headphones for practice too.
