ISP Technologies BASS VECTOR 115 User Manual

INTRODUCTION
ISP Technologies presents its newest edition to the rapidly growing Bass Vector
family. Now you can get the same great Bass Vector performance, in a smaller and more compact package! Combining the low frequency extension that only an 15” driver can achieve with the natural, extended (but not brittle) highs of
dual 8” drivers, the Bass Vector 115 cabinet achieves a balance of depth, impact, and definition that makes 4x10’s sound lifeless in comparison!
Available in active and passive versions, a single active cabinet delivers 600 watts to its speakers. When an additional passive cabinet is connected, the amplifier delivers a total of 1000 watt RMS to the two cabinets. The total system power can be further increased by adding additional active and passive cabinets. There is a limit of one passive cabinet per active cabinet.
The ISP Beta Bass Preamplifier is the ideal ‘head’ for the system, or 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 high performance 15” 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 handle, and casters.
