4. MICROMARK 801 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Micromark 801 is a compact, high-quality bass combo amp with a solid-state preamp and an analog power amp, which delivers 45W of power into one yellow 8” Markbass neodymium woofer.
It is still small enough to deliver the Markbass sound anywhere, but big enough to provide a fuller sound with plenty of bottom end! The combo feature a speaker output that can either be used for an 8 ohm extension cabinet
(drawing 60W from the head in the combo), or for a “satellite” Tweeter Box (to increase high end frequency response).
4.1 MICROMARK 801 FUNCTIONS OVERVIEW (TOP PANEL)
INPUT (2)
The input jack accepts an unbalanced signal from your bass via a standard1⁄4” instrument cable.
VOLUME (3)
Start with the volume (LEVEL) o (all the way counter-clockwise) and turn clockwise until you reach your desired volume.
VPF (4)
The VPF (Variable Preshape Filter) boosts lows (around 35 Hz) and highs (around 10 kHz), and cuts mids at 380 Hz.
This lter sounds great for rock music and is also a favorite of many slap bass players.
At higher volumes, turning the VPF up high will result in more output limiting due to the increase in low frequencies.
AUX IN (1)
Use this jack to plug in a CD player, MP3 player, iPod, etc. using a mini plug (1/8”). The signal mixes in evenly with your instrument input. Since there is no separate level control for each input, use the volume knobs on your bass
and your CD/MP3 player to achieve the right mix.
HEADPHONE JACK (5)
For quiet practicing, plug headphones into this mini plug (1/8”) input. If you plug in headphones, the amp’s speaker will stay on unless you turn it o using the switch (6) on the rear panel. To control the level to your headphones,
use the volume control on the amp, and/or the volume knob on your bass.
