ISP Technologies Introduces New Bass Vector™ Line Array

ISP Technologies has finely addressed the issue that bass players always want…more power! How about 4000 watts? We know that bass players are tired of the limited performance of 4x10 bass cabinets, so ISP Technologies has taken a different approach to the modern bass guitar system. Combining the low frequency extension that only an 18” driver can achieve with the natural, extended (but not brittle) highs of dual 8” drivers, the Bass Vector cabinet achieves a balance of depth, impact, and definition that makes 4x10’s sound lifeless in comparison! The ‘Pro’ version takes this concept to the ultimate by the use of a cutting-edge technology, ultra-high-excursion, 1100 watt rms 18” driver, and dedicating the entire 1000 watt rms amplifier to driving a single cabinet. The output is increased by 2 to 3 dB over the standard Bass Vector, and simply leaves 4x10’s in the dust, typically exceeding their output at 40 Hz by 6 dB or more at high volumes.
Want more output? The total system power can be further increased by adding additional active cabinets. The line-array topology allows for stacking up to 4 cabinets, keeping the 8” drivers in a vertical line for best horizontal dispersion of the highs. A passive version is available for use with your existing head.
The ISP Beta Bass Preamplifier is the ideal ‘head’ for the system. Why? Because the Beta Bass™ Pre-Amplifier Processor offers the professional bassist the highest level of performance that only ISP Technologies can provide. By incorporating our patented Time Vector Processing, the compression circuitry becomes the most adaptive to be used in a bass processor as it allows the Beta Bass to truly track the signal of the notes played. Add in the patented Decimator Noise Reduction Technology™, and you have the only bass processor on the market with built in noise protection! With two parametric bands (a low mid and a high mid), bass, treble, bright and an exciter (for phase manipulation), the Beta lets you shape your sound to your own specifications. For absolutely unsurpassable performance, pair the Beta Bass with the ISP Technologies Bass Vector or Bass Vector Pro cabinets and get up to 4000 watts of bass depending on your choice of configuration! Technology, and you have the only bass processor on the market with built in noise protection! The active cabinet can be used with other bass heads when driven from their line output, and the passive cabinet can be driven from virtually any powered bass head.
The extreme performance 18” driver is complemented by an advanced cabinet design featuring optimum volume and a large, deep tuned port. This helps to minimize the non-linear behavior and reduced low frequency output that small ports produce. The cabinet is tour grade, with Baltic Birch plywood construction, dadoed joints, extremely durable rubberized polyurethane finish, metal handles, and casters.
