Product Information
Genz Benz GBE1200 1200 Watt Rack Mount Bass Amplifier Head
Based upon the tone and versatility of the popular GBE 600, the new GBE 1200 "takes it to the limit" in features, power and performance. With added refinements and output power, the GBE 1200 delivers 1200 watts of power, tone and versatility into real world "reactive" speaker loads. The ability for the amplifier designs to drive resistive and reactive speaker loads, along with it's special Extended Burst Power ratings, separates Genz Benz from the pack. Genz Benz amplifiers are louder, punchier, warmer and more articulate.
The GBE 1200 introduces unique "POWERFLEX" circuitry and switching, which helps to provide full and stable power delivery into selectable 4 or 2 ohm speaker loads. The Preamp section of the three-space GBE 1200 is enhanced with two separate FET and 12AX7 TUBE channels that can be selected independently or mixed together creating endless tonal possibilities. A "global" Signal Shaping Circuit and Master output section round out the performance aspects of this amp.
The contoured, sleek lines of the 5mm thick, machined aluminium front panel are adorned with blue LED?s and color-coded Master Status LED?s which provide comprehensive operator information at a glance. Ergonomically sculpted handles add comfort and convenience. The GBE 1200?s unmatched fit and finish, versatility, power and tone make it the benchmark in bass amplification.
An important and not commonly discussed specification is a power amps ability to deliver rated power into a "reactive load". All speakers present a reactive load to the amplifier, reducing real world driving ability. Although speaker cabinets are usually rated as 8 or 4 ohms, this is a "nominal" impedance rating and in actuality can dip as much as 30%. Since speakers are not resistive loads but rather are highly "reactive", amplifiers must work even harder to drive them and will often prematurely trigger their protective limiting circuits - not so with GENZ BENZ bass amps... the bass amplifier designs compensate for this effect, and are rated to deliver their full power into reactive loads. This is one important reason GENZ BENZ amplifiers sound so big!
