THE DynavalveTM Power amp Technology
Seasoned players know the deal: 100 tubedriven watts simply sound louder than 100 solid state-powered watts. The reason for this is that tube power amps' complex dynamic properties enhance audio signals with transients. These added frequencies enrich the spectrum, making each note more concise, more explosive, and louder. [. . . ] A machined aluminum cone (Dura DomeTM) renders the voice coil's high frequency output. Both of these technologies deliver true response, a wide pattern of throw, and a rich overtone spectrum that blends perfectly with the low and mid-frequencies produced by the main membrane.
Tuned ResonanceTMCabinet Technology
Many years experience designing, tuning and manufacturing speaker enclosures enabled the QuantumTM development team to build cabinets that like fine acoustic instruments - make the most of resonances. Ingeniously engineered panels and bracings, as well as the robust, six-ply Okumé wood (with about half the weight of standard cabinet woods), deliver powerful, punchy low-end projection and finely balanced, crisp midrange. Because the resonant enclosure is tuned to radiate uniformly across its entire surface area, the bass signal can be localized precisely from any position on the stage.

HEAD
QT 600
The toasty warmth, brawny punch and intuitive handling of a classic all-tube tone machine, wed to the flexibility and precision of a premium studio device: This combination of qualities makes the QT 600 the first choice for bassists who refuse to settle for anything less than the best. The amp's mighty heart is a powerhouse 600 watts DynavalveTM amp. Pumping out ample power for persuasive performance in every sonic scenario, it offers plenty of headroom to stress even the most fulminate musical accents. The Tube Growl knob affords total control over typical tube-driven compression and saturation, and an impedance selector matches output power to suit connected cabinets. The two passive and active inputs are extremely responsive across the full sweep of the gain spectrum, providing the perfect platform for launching even the most propulsive grooves. Powered by sophisticated parallel EQ technology, the four-way voicing section spares the rod to "spoil" the signal, gently tweaking frequencies for the most effective and musical sound-sculpting imaginable. Four pushbutton filters shape the basic tonal character: Punch emphasizes the low and high ends without altering level. Bass Shape attenuates the bottom end, say, to suppress undesirable stage rumble. HF Character underscores the shimmering overtones at the top of the frequency spectrum. The QT 600's DI Out balanced is variable, sending either the instrument's (PRE) or the amp's signal (POST) to the mixing console.

Power x TonE / Weight
This latest-generation bass cabinet offers top-drawer audio quality in an astonishingly light package. Neodym speakers are the pumping heart of the new QuantumTM PRO cabinets. Developed in a joint effort with Eminence®, this technology delivers faster, more direct and precise response to the bassist's touch for more controlled and musically expressive playing. All speakers ship with onboard HF transducer systems: The Dual Cone (in 10" speakers) and DuraDomeTM designs render overtone spectrums unrivalled in depth, breadth and congruity sans the phase and directivity problems commonly encountered with horns. [. . . ] Its 12" Neodym woofer weds the hairtrigger response of a 10" speaker to the beefy punch of bigger membranes. Even in loud bands, it lends bass signals plenty of oomph to cut through.
