Ashdown Klystron C210n-500

The 575W Ashdown Klystron C210T-500 is a bass combo amp with 2 – 10″ speakers and a horn. The C210H-500 combo features a single switchable input for passive and active instruments with a blend of solid state and dual triode tube preamp stages.

3 straightforward rotary tone controls provide 20dB of cut and boost at 60Hz, 660Hz and 5kHz. And 2 pairs of additional sliders give 15dB cut and boost at 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3kHz and 2.6kHz. A built-in dual band compressor acts separately on the high and low frequency components of the signal to provide precise control. The on-board sub-harmonic generator turns the Klystron bass amp into a tone powerhouse.

Ashdown includes a 4-way footswitch that makes the Klystron among the most versatile live performance bass amps in the business. You have control over the compressor, sub-harmonic generator, tube grind and EQ pre-shape.

The Klystron combo amp uses custom developed Neodymium speakers which incorporate a number of advanced features including: a cast aluminum chassis with thin brackets to avoid sound wave reflections, a magnet circuit with heat sink rims to ensure rapid heat dissipation and decompression holes in the cone. The result is a range of ultra-lightweight bass drivers that just keep getting louder as the level is increased, delivering a powerful, consistent bass tone at all volume levels and with no power loss over long performances.
