The ULTRABASS BXD3000H is a 300­Watt 2-channel bass amp head designed
specically for the bass player who
requires the ultimate in tonal versatility.
Armed with our proprietary Ultrabass
sub-harmonics processor, the BXD3000H
cranks out unbelievable low-end, plus
our revolutionary Shape lter provides
precision sound sculpting to satisfy
even the extreme tone connoisseur.
Class-D design puts massive output
power into a package that weighs in at
less than 7.7 lbs./3.5 kg, giving you all the
power of a traditional-technology bass
amp, without the backbreaking weight.

The BXD3000H is equally at home
onstage or in the studio thanks to
its built-in XLR DI and Line outputs.
There's even an FX Insert so you can
access your favorite stompboxes and
other external processors. And since
modern bass players need a broad range
of sounds, we've given the BXD3000H
the exibility to go head-to-head against
even the toughest competition, at a price
unheard of for this class.

Superb Transient Response

We spent years ne-tuning the
technology that gives our high-density
Class-D amps their oomph. By carefully
selecting components with extremely
high slew rates and optimizing other
proprietary parts of our circuitry,
these amps react instantly to even
the most demanding electronic
bass impulses.

When this amazing amplier
technology is combined with our
state-of-the-art switching-mode
power supplies, these ampliers
provide tremendous punch.
And because they are so much
more ecient than conventional designs,
they run cooler and don’t require the
massive heat sinks and heavy toroid
transformers typically associated
with their conventional counterparts.
The BXD3000H provides 300 of the
cleanest, punchiest bass Watts you've
ever heard, at a fraction of the weight of
the competition.

Secret Weapon #1

Tone. That's what it all comes down
to—and the BXD3000H really delivers!
Channel 1 provides squeaky-clean
operation for the most true-to-life
sound of your bass. If you prefer a more
aggressive sound, switch to Channel
2 via the front panel button or the
supplied dual-function footswitch and

use Gain 2 to dial in the perfect amount

we'veprovided our proprietary Shape
control, which lets you call up a broad
range of sounds, anything from mild to
wild! And if your gig calls for two basses,
say a fretted and a fretless, you can use
Channel 2 and the Shape control to ne­tune the sound of a second instrument.

Onboard 7-Band FBQ Equalizer

Our revolutionary FBQ Equalizer allows
you “see-what-you-play”. In normal mode
the individual frequency bands can be
raised or lowered to ne-tune your sound.
But by engaging the FBQ button, you get
the power of a dedicated spectrum analyzer
right at your ngertips. Now the LEDs on
the seven frequency sliders illuminate in
varying levels of intensity, showing you
exactly which bands need to be adjusted for
optimal performance. This is especially handy
for eliminating the low-frequency feedback
typically associated with hollow-body,
acoustic and upright basses.

Secret Weapon #2

When activated, our proprietary
Ultrabass processor adds a signal that
is one octave lower than the input
signal. This sub-harmonic content
adds incredible depth to bass lines,
making them powerful and punchy.
Just press the Ultrabass button or use
the included footswitch, and dial in
the desired amount of fat bottom end.
Your audience won't know what hit them!

Value

Sporting 300-Watts of output power,
virtually unlimited tonal capability,
lightweight Class-D technology
and an equally lightweight price
tag, the BEHRINGER BXD3000H bass head
elevates performance and value to a new
level. Try one out today at your authorized
dealer and improve your bottom end
without hurting your bottom line!

Make a Good First Compression

Back in the “good old days” bass players
used their thumb, ngers or a pick to lay
down the bottom end. But modern bass
players are called upon to provide a much
broader palette of styles and techniques.
Two-handed tapping and slapping are just
a couple of the performance styles that
benet from compression and limiting.
Our highly musical onboard limiter works
in the background to keep your amp from
going into clipping distortion, which protects
your speakers without aecting your tone.
The switchable Compressor is fully adjustable
and extremely eective at bringing out even
the subtlest nuance of your performance.
