BXT Series Bass Cabinets

Your Ampeg BXT Series Bass enclosures are high-quality two-way speaker cabinets suitable for all sizes of venues.

The cabinets are constructed of 13-ply Baltic Birch and feature heavy duty recessed handles, heavy duty metal grilles and stacking corners for use in multiple cabinet arrays. A retractable tilt-back stand underneath the cabinet allows you to tilt the cabinet back for enhanced coverage (see the bottom of the facing page). The jackplate provides the input/output connections and an attenuator for setting the level of the high frequency driver.

The Speakon® and 1/4” jacks are wired in parallel, allowing easy daisy chaining from one speaker to another. Each of the jacks may be used as an input or a through connection.

Speakon® connectors are recognized as the standard for professional installations, assuring a secure, permanent connection that won’t corrode, vibrate loose or be easily tampered with. The 1/4” jacks are convenient. However, the Speakon® jacks are recommended when using power amplifiers over 150 watts, for permanent installations, or for the “first” speaker among a number of daisy chained speakers.

BXT cabinets are available in 4 ohm and 8 ohm models. Always make sure to match the impedance of your cabinet(s) to the amplifier(s) powering them. (A mismatch between an amplifier’s rated output impedance and the input impedance of a speaker cabinet can cause poor sound, overheating and possible component damage.)
