Ashdown - UK OBM 500

The Ashdown UK OBM 500 turns bass amplification on its head with a power-to-weight ratio that defies physics. You hold in your hands 500 Watts of dynamic reserve, capable of filling any club or large stage without breaking your back. It's the perfect solution for rail or air nomads who demand massive acoustic impact at every stop.

Your sonic identity is sculpted with rare meticulousness thanks to the integrated 5-band equalizer. Each potentiometer targets a vital frequency zone, from the foundation at 100 Hz to the crystalline attack at 7 kHz. The Pre-shape switch activates an immediate sound profile, a signature inherited from the brand's great classics that magnifies your instrument in a second.

The on-board electronics manage voltages from 115 to 230 V completely autonomously. This internal intelligence means you can plug in your equipment anywhere in the world without the need for complex adapters or fear of power surges. For studio work or home recording, the balanced DI output delivers a signal of exemplary purity, with virtually no background noise.

The serial effects loop makes it easy to integrate your preamp or modulation pedals for a clean signal chain. The head has two jack outputs for connecting your loudspeakers with a minimum of 4 Ohms. Ashdown has come up with a robust tool, covered by a 5-year warranty, which proves that sonic authority no longer depends on the size of the chassis.
