From Genzler Amplification
The KINETIX™ 800 represents the latest revolution in lightweight, high-output, versatile bass amplification from GENZLER® AMPLIFICATION. With our years of research, design, and manufacturing expertise, we developed this model utilizing stringent design parameters for form, function, fit and finish. This latest design blends the warmth and harmonic content of a CLASS A, all tube preamp design, offering three 12AX7 tubes running at a full 300 volt plate voltage and a high output, Class D, 800 watt power module, delivering a professional high-powered, tour-class bass guitar amplifier weighing just over 7 lbs!
Just as the name implies, the KINETIX™ 800 was designed to be that responsive, kinetic connection of interactive energy between the player’s expressiveness, their technique, and the tonal response coming back to them from this amplifier and speaker system – engaging with quickness and snap when pushed, or slow harmonic bloom when sustained.
Think of the KINETIX™ 800 bass amplifier as an extension of your tone . . . in musical motion!
PREAMP – Six Stage, Class A, Tube Preamp (3 x 12AX7 running @ 300V Plate Voltage).
INPUT– Feeds directly to the first tube stage and has a 1Meg ohm input impedance
MUTE / ON / BOOST SWITCH — Boost adds 8dB of gain in the 2nd tube stage.
GAIN / VOLUME CONTROLS
LEAN / FAT / THICK SWITCH – Sets the tonal foundation of the tube preamp, adjusting the HPF and response curves, along with how a tube amp reacts to various cabinet signatures.
TUBE DRIVEN EQ NETWORK – Five band all tube driven EQ section
BASS — +/- 13dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 70 Hz
LO-Mid — +/- 10dB boost/cut at 250 Hz
MID — +6/-11dB cut at 575 Hz.
HI MID — +/- 11dB boost/cut at 2.3 KHz
TREBLE — + / – 16dB Boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 5KHz
POWER AMP – The KINETIX™ 800 uses a state of the art, class D power amplifier design and a high frequency auto-sensing universal switch-mode power supply (SMPS) to achieve unprecedented high performance and lightweight packaging. The Voltage Selector Switch changes the high-voltage power supply for the preamp tubes.
