The GBE 400 is the slightly less powerful sibling of the GBE 600 and delivers performance, power and features way beyond its affordable price. The GBE 400 offers the same well thought-out circuitry designs of our larger GBE 600. Both models share the same basic preamp, power amp and power supply designs along with many of the same features that make this series of bass amps an extreme value in today’s competitive market.
The sturdy metal chassis and attractive brushed aluminum front panel conceals some of the real heavy-duty components of the GBE 400. The double-sided PC boards provide the sturdy base for the preamp and power amp circuitry. This model utilizes the same massive heat-sink and "cooling tunnel" as the larger GBE 600. The power amp is a high voltage, high current pro audio based design that is driven by 6 bipolar outputs capable of driving resistive and reactive "real world" speaker loads.
The GBE 400 is capable of driving its full power output into a 2 ohm load, and for even further protection, incorporates unique thermal circuitry, providing advanced notification of impending thermal shut-down, due to blocked air flow.
Rated power of the GBE 400 is 200 watts @ 8 ohms, 330 watts @ 4 ohms and 450 watts @ 2 ohms.
