Le RM-500 en est dĂ©sormais Ă  sa deuxiĂšme Ă©volution. La section de puissance de 500 watts du RM500 EVO a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©veloppĂ©e pour maintenir des graves profonds, des mĂ©diums dĂ©finis et des aigus transitoires, dĂ©livrant sa sortie dans une charge de 4 ohms. Les tĂȘtes Ashdown Rootmaster sont le choix parfait pour les bassistes travaillant Ă  la recherche de puissance et de fonctionnalitĂ©s sans le poids.

Le prĂ©ampli de la sĂ©rie Rootmaster EVO comprend dĂ©sormais une prise jack d'entrĂ©e passive et active pour une utilisation avec des instruments Ă  sortie haute et basse, cela dĂ©finit un chemin de signal clair vers le contrĂŽle d'entrĂ©e vous permettant d'affiner votre niveau d'entrĂ©e Ă  l'aide du compteur Ashdown VU de marque. Avec le signal Ă  son niveau optimal, vous accĂ©dez ensuite aux riches fonctionnalitĂ©s conçues pour amĂ©liorer votre son, telles que le bouton de forme, l'Ă©galiseur 5 bandes et le compresseur intĂ©grĂ©. La commande d'entraĂźnement, comme toujours, offre une dĂ©licieuse overdrive Ă©mulĂ©e par valve, tandis que les commandes de sous-harmoniques ajoutent encore plus de gras Ă  votre son - les deux peuvent ĂȘtre commutĂ©es au pied via une pĂ©dale FS 2 (vendue sĂ©parĂ©ment).

Les tĂȘtes Rootmaster EVO disposent Ă©galement d'une section d'alimentation amĂ©liorĂ©e ainsi que d'un bouton de sourdine pratique. Ce qui est encore plus cool, c'est que lorsqu'il est mis en sourdine, le VU-mĂštre de la marque Ashdown Engineering passe de l'orange au bleu froid, crĂ©ant ainsi un Ă©clairage d'ambiance parfait sur scĂšne entre les sets.

RM 800 Features
Ashdown | Setting the standard since '97
Simple, powerful EQ
The Rootmaster EVO series’ pre amp now includes a passive and active input jack socket for use with high and low output instruments. The five- band rotary tone controls act with surgical precision to provide total control over your sound, while a shape switch instantly dials you in to a classic Ashdown tone setting, straight from the world-famous ABM.
One-knob Compression
Instantly adding warmth and body to your tone, this simple to use, great sounding compressor delivers a powerful, even sound to make sure your bass will fill out any mix.
Overdrive & Sub
With footswitchable flexibility, our tube-emulated overdrive can take your core bass sound and push it into warm overdrive through to distorted filth whenever you need to add extra grind and girth to your tone.

Bringing extra depth and definition to your bass parts, the Sub-Harmonic Generator lets you dial in a sub-octave and kick it in via footswitch whenever you need the extra depth for those super-heavy Godzilla moments.
Totally connected
If you want to use your favourite pedals or multi-effects, you’ll find send and return sockets on the back panel, along with a DI output for direct injection into the PA mixer or recording console and a Line Input (with front panel level control) so you can jam along with a backing track in rehearsal.
A combined Jack/Speakon socket with a minimum 4 ohm load provides flexible partnering options with a dedicated range of Rootmaster EVO cabinets. Ashdown’s 1 x 12”, 1 x 15”, 2 x 10” and 6 x 10” cabs all feature Ashdown White Line speakers for a refined tone, plus a high- frequency 3-way controllable tweeter for additional top-end bite.
