FEATURES

The perfect companion for the gigging bassist and for those looking for an 

amp and cabinet set up without breaking the bank. This Class D Amp Head 

gives you tone, versatility and a massive load of features all in a compact 

package.

It features an earthshaking 200 watts RMS output at 4 ohms complete with 

a 5-band EQ for the precise tone calibration that every bassist needs. It has 

a button which can be toggled to suit whether you are using an active/pas-

sive input bass. It also features a built-in compression circuitry with ratio 

control to ensure that your output would have the same volume no matter 

how hard you play. There is also built-in Thermal and Over Current Protec-

tion.

Not only for gigs, the BAH200 also has an aux input to assist you with 

practice. Plug in your media device and play along to your favourite back-

ing tracks or songs!

Please note: 

This is an amplifier head only - it does not have any speakers. 

You must connect this to a bass speaker cabinet or headphones before use.
