Tech Talk

Characteristics of the 2001RB:

The 2001RB is a ﬂ exible, state-of-the-art Bass Ampli-

ﬁ er, designed to deliver maximum performance, and be

simple to operate. This is accomplished through a few,

very important features:

Extremely high current power supply andpower

amp circuitry, gets the sound out of your head.

Bi-Amp sound, two power amps, 540 Watts for

the woofer (1080W bridged), and 50 Watts for

the horn.

Electronic crossover, seamless two-way

sound.

Four, Bass speciﬁ c bands of active

equalization for precise tone control.

Three voicing ﬁ lters for shaping and

customizing your sound.

Balanced direct output with level control

eliminates need for a direct box.

. .

Continuously variable fan cooling.

Designed and Built in the U.S. for years of

reliability and quality service.

High Current Output & Bass Response:

When a power ampliﬁ er is pushing several speaker cones,

and a high-power transient like a string slap comes along,

the amp has to tap into a large power reserve to maintain

cone control. It's kind of like grabbing a swing at the

bottom of it's travel and trying to push it the other way

- it could knock you over. If the ampliﬁ er doesn't have

this ability, the sound is unresponsive and less out front.

The amp loses it's punch and feel at higher playing levels.

Instead of responding to your every command, the ampli-

ﬁ er simply cuts those transients off, leaving you with the

feeling that something is missing in your sound.

Since most ampliﬁ ers have limited output current capac-

ity, they need "current limiting circuits" to protect against

self-destruction. High-power transients trigger these

circuits, which rob the ampliﬁ er of it's ability to control

speaker cones. This creates a mushy, unresponsive feel

to your sound. The 2001RB has extremely high current

capacity, so it doesn't need current limiting circuits for

over-load protection.

2001RB & 2001RBP

There is nothing in the 2001RB power amp to come be-

tween you and your sound except faithful, raw power.

Bi-Amp Sound:

Bass players have always liked the growl they get from

slight overdrive. In GK amps this comes partly from the

boost circuits and partly from the power amp. The prob-

lem is that growl, sounds great through woofers, and hor-

rible through horns. In the typical full range system with

a passive crossover, there is no way to get growl and keep

the deﬁ nition that the horn provides. The horn always has

to be turned down. In a Bi-Amp system like the 2001RB,

the woofer and the horn, each have their own power amp,

allowing us to get growl in the woofer only, while keeping

the horn sound crystal clear. Now you can over-drive the

woofer as much as you want, and leave the horn all the

way up, keeping the deﬁ nition it brings to your sound.

Running the 2001RB in Bi-Amp mode through a GK-RBH

cabinet, for the ﬁ rst time allows full access to the beneﬁ ts

of Bi-Amp sound. This is the reason the 2001RB is a Bi-

Amp, and it is the reason you will be able to explore an

entirely new territory of Bass sound.

Electronic Crossover:

Bi-Amp systems allow the crossover to be electronic and

therefore, have much higher quality than passive cross-

overs. A crossover separates the sound into two parts (high

and low frequency). The highs are sent to the horn or

high frequency cabinet and the lows are sent to the woofer.

In an ideal system, adding the highs and the lows back

together would recover the original signal. Most passive

Bass systems have very poor crossovers, resulting in severe

signal corruption. When these signals are added back

together (as in your ear), they have very little in common

with the original signal. The 2001RB uses a Constant

Voltage crossover which results in very little signal corrup-

tion. In fact, when the high and low signals are added

back together, the result is extremely close to the original.

This makes a two-way system sound more seamless, and

less artiﬁ cial. We have also included a Tweeter Hi-Cut

switch in the crossover, which rolls the tweeter off above

10kHz giving it a less glassy, more cone like sound.
