FILTERS
- The filter section contains
four enhanced performance filters:
BASS
is a 'shelving' type 12dB/oct slope
phase compensated bass filter with a wide
gain range.
LOW MID
has a frequency range of 150-
900Hz. This filter facilitates total control
over the lower midrange frequencies,
defining the tone and the body of your
sound.
HIGH MID
has frequency range of 1.2-
7 kHz. This filter gives you total control
over the higher midrange frequencies
giving definition and good voicing to you
sound.
TREBLE
is a 'shelving' type filter
controlling the higher mids and treble
registers, giving presence and ambiance to
the sound.
BALANCED OUTPUT
- Is a high quality
balanced output that functions as a line box
for connecting to PA mixing consoles or to
studio or broadcast recording units.
Lifting ground is a great aid in many
occasions. When required, set the
Gnd Lift
switch to inner position to disconnect the
ground from the output.
The
Post Eq
switch selects the signal
source. In the inner position this switch
selects the overall sound from the amp.
Otherwise, in the outer position an
uncolored sound is taken immediately
after the input and gain sections.

LINE OUT
- This is a fullrange output
that will drive multiple poweramps,
extending the power of the system.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS
– The two
Speakon® connectors allow you to
connect the amp to your favorite cabinets.
The connectors are wired in parallel, so it
doesn’t matter which one to use when only
connecting one cabinet.
Minimum permissible speaker load is 2
ohms, which means that you could connect
any combination of speakers as below:
•
One 4 ohms cabinet.
•
Two 4 ohms cabinets.
•
One 4 ohms cabinet and two 8
ohms cabinets.
•
A total of four 8 ohms cabinets.
Also, higher impedance cabinets work
well, such as only one 8 ohms cabinet. The
output power will however be lower in
this case.
POWERAMP
- The internal poweramp is
of MOSFET design giving natural sound
reproduction and high power output with
exceptional clarity.
The incorporated soft clip system provides
tube-alike distortion characteristics,
protects the power amp from saturation and
increases its output performance and sound
quality.
The poweramp makes possible maximum
continuous power output, reducing the
maximum temperature of the unit by the
use of a temperature controlled active
cooling system.
! Note that you may run the Classic 500
without any speaker load. No damage
will be done to the amplifier whatsoever.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure not to cover
the fan or the ventilation holes on the amp.

EBS will not take responsibility for
eventual hearing damages caused by
the powerful Classic 500.
