Vibe Bass Amps

Vibe are proud to announce another industry first. The use of Class GH technology in their bass amplifiers.
Class GH is a hybrid of both Class G and Class H. Class G operation involves changing the power supply voltage from a lower level to a higher level when larger output swings are required. This involves a single class AB output stage that is connected to two power supply rails by a diode, or a transistor switch. Using two power supplies improves efficiency enough to allow significantly more power when compared to traditional Class AB or Class D amplifiers. Class G technology is becoming more common in professional recording studios. Class H operation takes the G design one step further and actually modulates the higher power supply voltage by the input signal. This allows the power supply to track the audio input and provide just enough voltage for optimum operation of the output devices. (All of which adds up to more of what you bought an amp for.)

VIBE’s BlackBox Bass Hybrid Class GH amplifiers combine the best of both these new technologies to produce an amplifier that has all the efficiency benefits of a Class D amplifier with the smooth sound of a Class AB amplifier. Without technical jargon this means that sound quality blows away Class D amplifiers combined with a 73% efficiency compared to 50% efficiency of Class AB. There are two monoblock amplifiers in the Bass range – the £350 BlackBox Bass 4 which offers 900w RMS at 2 ohms and the £500 BlackBox 5 which offers a whopping 1500 watts at 2 ohms.
BlackBox bass amplifiers can also be ‘strapped’ or linked two-as-one give you a true 3000w RMS at 2ohms. Perfect if you’re interested in SPL.
