Combos

1001RB-II/700RB-II Series Combos

The 1001RB-II/700RB-II Series combos deliver the
1001RB-II/700RB-II’s unique features and distinct
sound by using a variety of internal speaker configu-
rations, GK’s RBH cabinet technology and a unique
Lock N’ Roll transport system.

Speaker Configurations:

1001RB/115 or 700RB/115:

One 8 Ohm 15

speaker and

one 8 Ohm horn.

1001RB/210 or 700RB/210:

Two 16 Ohm 10

speakers

(wired in parallel for an 8
Ohm equivalent load)and
one 8 Ohm horn.

The 1001RB-II/700RB-II combo electronics are
identical to the 1001RB-II/700RB-II head and are
rated for the same maximum power output and
speaker load (700W/460W into 4 Ohms, and 480W/
320W into 8 Ohms).  Maximum power is achieved by
connecting one 8 Ohm extension cabinet (such as the
210RBH,  410RBH,  or 115RBH) in addition to the
combo’s internal 8 Ohm speaker load.  To drive more
than one extension cabinet,  the combo’s internal
speaker can be disconnected by unplugging the
Speakon cable connected to the combo’s back panel.
Below is a detailed description of the maximum loads
the combos can drive.

Maximum recommended load with the
internal speaker connected:

One 8 Ohm cabinet on the Woofer/Main Amp.
One 8 Ohm horn on the 50W/Tweeter Amp.

Maximum recommended load with the
internal speaker disconnected:

One 4 Ohm, or Two 8 Ohm cabinets on the Main/
Woofer Amp.
One or Two 8 Ohm horns on the 50W/Tweeter Amp.

Lock N’ Roll Transport System:

The Lock N’ Roll transport system is designed for
quick and easy rolling of the combo on flat surfaces
such as carpet, flooring, pavement, etc.  To engage the
lock and roll handle,  first move the combo into the
upright position (front perpendicular to the ground).
Next,  stand behind the cabinet, with your left hand,
push the GK locking latch (below the handle) to the
right, and lift the Lock N’ Roll handle up with your
right hand.  Let go of the locking latch and the
handle will lock into place after about 1 1/2 feet.
Finally, grab the handle and tilt towards the back of
the combo.  The wheels on the bottom of the cabinet
will automatically engage and allow smooth rolling.

To disengage the Lock N’ Roll system, first return the
combo to its upright position and stand behind the
unit.  Next, with your left hand, pull the locking latch
at the base of the handle to your right, while pushing
the handle down gently with your right hand.  Fi-
nally, push the handle down until it stops and is flush
with the top of the combo.  The handle will lock into
place.

The 1001RB-II/700RB-II Series combos are designed
for maximum setup versatility to accommodate a
variety of playing situations.  For practicing and close
monitoring situations, tilt the cabinet back into its
“Rock Back” position.   For stronger bass and audi-
ence projection, leave the combo in the upright
position.
