Tec-Amp L 410

The technical features that motivated my choice:
- Cash incredible powers
- Sounds good, even at very low volume
- Very lightweight (25 kg, can be worn alone as a major)
- Very high bandwidth (to avoid lugging a 15 "and more)
- German manufacture and design (say what you want, it's still not the same ...)

The use I make:
- Repeat, not box-at-all to "I cover the drummer" ...

I run the amp with a speaker sound RMX 1450 bridged mono can also stack more than 1200 Watts ... In short it is not the power is missing!
I work on his bass with a BBE preamp transistor.
The advantage of this config a bit unusual is that it behaves almost "linear": I play very low volume or background, it really does not affect the character of the sound. So it's a config mat easy to carry around everywhere.

SOUNDS

Before I played on a speaker Aguilar 2x12 "speakers with ferrite magnet. Caustaud was already very well screwed, but I must say that the Tec-Amp with speakers Neodym is .. . better! Yes, it's better than the Aguilar!
In fact, the Tec-Amp sounds very neutral and still generates a lot of bass and infrabass for a 4x10 ". The thing is absolutely amazing is the ability to return the power sent from the amp. Ca ​​never do run out of steam ! At worst, the sound will "pump" a few very high volume (when the ceiling threatened to collapse, the drummer is the mime marceau with tambourines and the Marchaux (Marschall plural) of scratch unleashed their last mucus ...). Basically, the sound quality begins to deteriorate when we send a little more I would say 1000 Watts ...
To round it off, the cabinet and equipped with an excellent adjustable tweeter wishes (very dull to very bright). To make it sound really aggressive, push the treble preamp thoroughly, otherwise it stays clear, defined and lens.

In fact, this speaker Tec-Amp is perhaps the ne plus ultra of what is happening right now.
If you find a cabinet with its type (such Ampeg 4x10 "), go your way. The 4x10" Tec-Amp sounds neutral. The character of your sound will come from the rather low and the preamp. For me it's the ideal, the cabinet of all trades. As I played with several groups, just change the bass and the preamp and presto! I end up with a sound completely different.

For its versatility, robustness of the speakers and the exceptional quality of the tweeter, I put 10/10.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months. RAS. Foot! I do not regret to separate myself from my Aguilar 2x12 ".
What I like most is undoubtedly the lightweight of the craft, impeccable build quality made-in-Germany, the extraordinary resistance of the speakers, the beautiful sound of the tweeter and neutrality overall sound.
Price / quality ratio very honest with the views of what the competition offers. Ca is a good investment, but then you're cushy!
With experience, I do it again this choice without hesitation. The neodymium magnets are incomparably higher than ferrite magnets. In any case in Tec-Amp ...

Edit of 03/13/2010:
gonna be a year and a half I play it, but happiness. It's a monster. Since my first review, I changed my amp head, I now play with an old Sovtek 100 watt all-tube that spun me a friend. The baffle Tec Amp is so efficient that a 100 W lamp enough to already be 10 times too strong again. Incredible but true!
The cabinet I keep it!

- What technical specifications motivated your choice?

In order: want - more than required, must be honnte - one baffle trs good quality "do everything" (large margin frequencies and good performance to avoid the multi rails, 4 ohms), less than 1000, lgeret reliability and construction, adjustable tweeter.

- For what purpose?

Uh ... Making music with a bass. Let trs Varis records.

- What amp / What configuration? ...

SVT3Pro / Stingray and Fender P / pr various effects and insert

SOUNDS

- The curve frequency drives is it neutral enough?

This is not typical as some speakers, while the top does well. Excellent adjustable tweeter also to boost the AIGS beauty, big big good discoveries.

[edit 20/11: The "tweeter switching system" really is most excellent, it can REALLY get grain rendering DIFFERENT, a little slap vintage modern Ave changes in tonality but also dynamics, while a purely hardware: trs trs is bluffing. Try it!]

- Stereo image is good?

It is the will that has gte no, it is absolutely zero, I'm green. Hem. Well, the discharge to the L410, it must be said that a speaker also: b

- The sound is clear and prcis across the spectrum?

Yes, yes, yes, IMHO trs pro. Some say "stereo", I think it's pretty true, does not really colored, but it's even more than a standard monitor ... It is calibrated for low returns live but what it sends to Manir trs prcise and fine, full-spectrum, and is not given all the world (eg, there's no speaker sound system I think that will make your bass as a). All I can say may be as spcificit is that a serious (real) to "fill" the space remaining Defines is vibrant and trs equilibrated magntique a little, in a large projection trs without being intrusive. The mdiums are warm or trs rights under the job of the amp and the tweeter is trs enjoyable or not the increase of prsence AIGS with no or too garish ct sec. In any case, as a big rock sound patator, a jazzy solo slap a dig round and soft, an online reggae super deep, multi-effects to the DLIR ... are really yummy, if only one seeks to find the amp, the eq or effects a grain we love. The problem is that once you find something good, one is tempted to up the volume to be invaded by the sound, more, more, more ... up cash it physically. And, as we test the bte home, and even if the sound is good, my wife and neighbors, they do not like a too after a while.

Just, even if resistance to vibration is really good trs ensures a vibrate more than the (good) lots of cabs 50kg mtal and wood from a certain volume, or pleased t from a certain volume. But hey, these levels the all that is around all fawns vibrate 100 times ... ahem ... In any case, it seems to me that we should prvoir one sitting, like a good flight too hard, thinking is to the amp if it is possible. Finally, there's no cat, eh, the baffle is trs dplacer far from alone! Just, even if it is well done dj trs ct of the lgrement it will vibrate more than some (not all) tanks and outsize its other color brands.

- The dynamic is it respect? ...

DEFINITIONS superb dynamic and even low levels sincrement is excellent and I can even use it also, and with pleasure, for a volume home rpter absolutely Home (even when . The only problem is the temptation: what then Reserved!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

One week, happy nol.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

It's great (gaga inside): one can play anything on it, it's clean, it's Dfine has cash from top to bottom and front to rear, it is lightweight, it's fucked, ss of the mouth, and as the false cif is not worth to add, then more quickly as the multibody configs for my back for my wallet.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

Qq one, not as much as I wanted, but more than I should have. I also tested well liked Glockenklang 4 * 10 "light" which I hear also that good, but there is really any fawns more. My opinion is that is has to, given the specs, comments, and I understand the specifications of the two brands ... and also what I hear now home! Honntement because I do not know how to do better than L410 if you do not want a grain - I think limiting - with a few high-end cabs typs trs (trs and heavy) exist.

- How do you report qualitprix?

It is expensive but it's awfully good.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

To see how aging is even if I did not inquitudes too, but for now, nothing wrong, it's top.
[edit 20/11: I am the Sparer dconnect regret because of my real needs, but I ritra the fact that it is probably the best cab " entitled "the march with the switching system is a bomb capable of rendering true versatility. I had the head end with a Eden WT550 (trs trs good), and especially a AG500SC Aguilar: L410 + AG500 is a real config bte, a pure sound capable swallow anyone / anything, a brief association really excellent - especially with instruments got my active config pop-rock for the dynamic and full of harmonics, with a Stingray particular, this config is, and I pse my words, that the Ampeg SVT 8 * 10 remains for Fender P]
