1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! With this amplifier from our ULTRABASS Series
you have purchased a state-of-the-art Bass Workstation that
sets new standards. The ULTRABASS is an extremely powerful
2-channel bass amp equipped with genuine BUGERA
speakers. It gives you loads of power and makes sure that you
always have a few extra watts available whenever you need
them. The other items on the list of features are no less
impressive: The ULTRABASS has one clean and one distortion
channel plus one equalizer with a ground-breaking see-what-
you-play FBQ frequency display, which immediately shows
you which bass frequency is assigned to which controlthe
perfect solution for sound tuning as you play. A musical limiter
circuit protects the unit effectively against distortion, even at
maximum volume. The connectors for headphones and
CD players are ideal for practicing.
+This users manual will allow you to familiarize
yourself with the control elements of your new
ULTRABASS and learn all of its functions. After
reading this manual, store it where you can easily
find it for future reference.

ULTRABASS BXL450A/BXL900A/BXL1800A/BXL3000A
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
AND CONNECTIONS
Fig. 2.1: The input section
INPUT. Connect your bass guitar to this input jack on the
ULTRABASS (¼" TS jack).
The GAIN 1 control determines the input gain on channel 1.
Use the CH 2 button to switch over between the two
channels. The CH 2 button lights up when channel 2 has
been activated. On the models BXL1800, BXL3000,
BXL1800A and BXL3000A, the channels can also be
selected using the foot switch shipped with the unit.
The GAIN 2 control sets the degree of distortion of
channel 2. The further the control is turned clockwise,
the higher the degree of distortion.
SHAPE is a special filter for your personal sound design. It
gives you numerous options for shaping your bass sound.
Application examples of the shape function can be found
in chapter 3.2.2.
+The Shape filter is only effective on channel 2. The
signal in channel 1 remains unprocessed.
Use the LEVEL control to adjust the volume of channel 2.
Use this control to achieve the balance in volume that you
want between channels 1 and 2.
Fig. 2.2: The FBQ EQUALIZER
The FBQ EQUALIZER has 7 slide controls (BXL450 and
BXL450A: 5 slide controls), one for each frequency band.
The maximum boost/cut is 12 dB.
The FBQ switch activates the FBQ spectrum analyzer.
The control LEDs, which are identical in brightness when
FBQ is off, now show the energy content of each
frequency band by lighting up with varying degrees of
brightness. The equalizer function is always active,
irrespective of the FBQ function. (For details on the FBQ
function see chapter 3.2.1.)
Fig. 2.3: The master section
Use the MASTER control to set the overall volume.
The PHONES jack (¼" TRS jack) is for connecting a pair of
headphones. You can use headphones from the
BEHRINGER HP Series. This connector, when in use, mutes
the built-in bass speaker.
The POWER switch powers up your ULTRABASS. The
POWER switch should always be in the Off position before
you connect the ULTRABASS to the main power source.
+Please note: The POWER switch does not fully
disconnect the unit from the mains power cord
plug or extention cord. To disconnect the unit from
the main power source, pull out the main cord plug
or appliance coupler. When installing the product,
ensure the plug or appliance coupler is readily
operable. Unplug the power cord when the unit is
not used for prolonged periods of time.
Fig. 2.4: The rear-panel connectors
(BXL1800, BXL3000, BXL1800A and BXL3000A)
Use the balanced DI OUT(PUT) (XLR) to route the audio
signal from the ULTRABASS to the input on a mixing
console. The signal is taken from the point between the
equalizer and the MASTER control.
As an alternative to taking the signal from output , the
LINE OUT signal (¼" TS jack) can also be used.
+ FX INSERT (not available on BXL450 and BXL900
or on BXL450A and BXL900A): The ULTRABASS features
a serial insert path, which allows you to connect external
effects devices (e. g. wah-wah pedal, floor effects or
19" effects processors). Connect the SEND jack to
the input on the effects device. Connect the output on the
effects device to the RETURN jack on the ULTRABASS.
In the signal path of the amplifier, the FX insertion point
occurs before the Ultrabass processor ( ).
+The INSERT SEND can also be used as a parallel
output, for example, to connect a tuner. As long as
the RETURN jack is not in use, there will be no break
in the internal signal path.
SERIAL NUMBER.
The CD IN input (RCA) allows you to connect an external
stereo signal. For instance, you can play along with your
favorite songs played back from CD or MD, or with a drum
computer.
+The models BXL450, BXL900, BXL450A and BXL900A
have the CD IN connector installed on the front panel.

3. FIRST STEPS
The models BXL1800, BXL3000, BXL1800A and BXL3000A
have a dual foot switch included. Connect the foot switch to
the FOOT SW(ITCH) jack. Use the foot switch to select a
channel (corresponds to the CH 2 button ) and to activate
the Ultrabass function (corresponds to the ON button ).
Fig. 2.5: Fuse holder and IEC receptacle (rear panel)
FUSE RETAINER/VOLTAGE SELECTOR. Please make sure
that the voltage indicated by the voltage selector matches
the local voltage before you connect the unit to the main
power supply. Always replace blown fuses with fuses of
the same type and rating. Some units feature a fuse retainer
in which a selection between 230 V and 120 V is possible.
Please be aware: When using your unit outside Europe
and with 120 V, a fuse with a higher rating is required.
Power is supplied via an IEC connector. The matching
cable is provided with the unit.
Fig. 2.6: COMPRESSOR function
(only BXL1800, BXL3000, BXL1800A and BXL3000A)
The COMPRESSOR control governs the compression
intensity (see chapter 3.2.4).
Use the ON switch to activate the compressor.
Fig. 2.7: ULTRABASS function
(not available on BXL450 and BXL450A)
With the Ultrabass function enabled (button ) you can
use the ULTRABASS control to add ultra-low frequencies
to your bass signal. The ULTRABASS effect is available
for both channels (see chapter 3.2.3).
Press the ON button to switch on the ULTRABASS function.
The LED in the button lights up. You can also control this
effect using the foot switch supplied with the unit (except
for BXL900 and BXL900A).
3. FIRST STEPS
3.1 Connect your bass and get started
Were sure you cannot wait to set up and connect your
ULTRABASS amp and check out its sounds. So, lets get going!
sConnect your instrument to the input jack before you
switch on the unit. Use a standard instrument cable with
¼" TS connectors.
sTurn the MASTER control fully to the left, then switch
off the equalizer, compressor and Ultrabass function
(buttons , and ) to start off with a neutral
sound.
sSet the GAIN control to mid-travel position.
sSwitch on the ULTRABASS using the POWER switch ,
then adjust the desired volume level using the MASTER
control .
The ULTRABASS has two input channels to be selected with
the channel selector . When channel 1 is active (button LED
off), the GAIN 1 control can be used to adjust the input
sensitivity.
To distort sounds, use channel 2. On channel 2, you can also
create an alternative sound: one that is louder than or shaped
differently from the sound on channel 2. (For details about the
Shape control, see chapter 3.2.) Use the GAIN 2 control to
adjust the input level of channel 2. This control also allows you to
determine the amount of distortion. If the signal becomes too
loud, you can use the LEVEL control to cut back the volume
and align it with the volume of channel 1. This way, you can
avoid drastic level changes when switching channels.
3.2 Sound processing
The ULTRABASS offers a variety of features to modify your
bass sound. These processing functions are described in this
chapter.
3.2.1 The FBQ equalizer
The equalizer is a graphic 7-band EQ (BXL450 and BXL450A:
5-band) incorporating an FBQ spectrum analyzer. When a slide
control is set to the zero position, the instrument signal remains
unprocessed in the relevant frequency band.
sTo raise the level of a specific frequency band, move its
slide control upwards.
sTo lower its volume, move the control downwards.
Each control has an LED which displays the level of the
respective frequency band by lighting up with varying degrees
of brightness. This feature helps you find the control(s) that you
need for sound processing. Press the FBQ switch to switch
on the FBQ display. For example, if the sound is muddy or booming
at 160 Hz, this is shown by a brightly lit LED in the corresponding
control. Move the 160-Hz control down a bit (negative range) to
eliminate the booming sound. Conversely, you can accentuate
certain signal ranges that lack presence (LED lights up only
faintly) by moving the relevant controls upwards.
+You dont have to raise the volume of a frequency
range to make it seem louder. Instead, you can
lower the other frequency ranges by moving their
slide controls downwards. This prevents the
internal signal level from becoming too high and
also gives you some valuable dynamics headroom.

ULTRABASS BXL450A/BXL900A/BXL1800A/BXL3000A
4. WIRING EXAMPLES
3.2.2 The Shape function
The Shape function on your ULTRABASS provides a
revolutionary type of filter that you can use to modify your bass
sound completely. The filter allows you to shape your sound
which is a must for bass players today. Extreme filter settings
will give your bass sound more punch, for example:
You want to play a live bass solo but the sound doesnt cut
through. The solo should stand out, rather than being drowned.
First, set up a solid basic sound on channel 1. Then, create a
very distinctive solo sound on channel 2 using the Shape filter.
Since the Shape filter is only effective on channel 2, you can
change sounds quickly and easily before you begin your solo.
The Shape filter is worth its weight in gold when you are using
two different bass guitars. Maybe you want to change from one
instrument to another with a completely different sound. During
gigs you often lack the time to set up your amp for a different
instrument. Because you can use channel 1 for one instrument
and channel 2, with its Shape filter, for another instrument, youll
be glad to have the ULTRABASS.
3.2.3 The Ultrabass function
(not available on BXL450 and BXL450A)
In current music production, extremely low bass sounds that are
one octave below the lowest available bass guitar frequency
are quite popular. Often, you can only create this sound in studios,
because most bass amplifiers have no sub-harmonics function.
This is not true with the ULTRABASS. The Ultrabass processor
gives you the ultimate tool to shape this contemporary sound.
Youll be amazed to hear how deep your bass can sound with
the Ultrabass function. Extreme settings can be particularly
interesting if you want to give your sound added sparkle in the
treble range. By the way, if you already set the Shape filter to
create punchy sounds, but feel that theres not enough power in
the bass range, the sub-harmonics processor is there to help
you. Even if the sound is still punchy, it will have much more depth.
On the models BXL1800, BXL3000, BXL1800A and BXL3000A,
the Ultrabass function can easily be switched on and off via the
foot switch supplied. This allows you to highlight certain passages
exclusively.
3.2.4 The compressor
(only BXL1800/BXL3000 and BXL1800A/BXL3000A)
A compressor is used to limit the dynamic range of a signal.
Signal peaks are lowered and soft signals are raised in volume,
thus reducing the difference between the highest and the lowest
signal levels. The result is a much more powerful sound.
Some playing techniques, such as slapping, lead to high-level
differences. In this case, a compressor can be used to make the
low-level dead notes clearly audible, which gives the bass line
even more groove. What is more, the sustain of long notes is
extended.
sUse the ON switch to activate the compressor.
sTurn the COMPRESSOR control slowly to the right to
raise the compression intensity.
sPress the ON switch to compare the compressed signal
with the unprocessed one.
Compressors work best if provided with high input signals. If the
signal level is low, the effect will be activated only with high
settings. If so, enabling the compressor can lead to extreme
level differences. If GAIN is high, the compressor comes in quite
early. In this case, you dont need to turn up the COMPRESSOR
control that far to achieve an effect. Experiment with it to find the
best setting for your needs!
+The compressor works independently of the built-
in protective limiter, which is always active on all
BXL models and protects the power stage from
overloading and distortion.
4. WIRING EXAMPLES
4.1 Setup for practicing with playbacks
Fig. 4.1: Standard setup (here: BXL900A)
This setup is intended for rehearsals or practicing at home.
Connect the ULTRABASS as shown in fig. 4.1. To feed in
playbacks, connect a CD player to the CD input. Of course, you
can also connect an MD player or a computer.
If you want to practice with headphones, just plug your
headphones in the PHONES jack. The built-in loudspeaker will be
muted automatically. Turn the MASTER control fully left before
you connect the headphones.
4.2 Expanded setup for gigs and studio recordings
(only BXL1800, BXL3000, BXL1800A and BXL3000A)
Fig. 4.2: Expanded setup (here: BXL1800A)
The following wiring scheme is recommended for live gigs or
studio work. It builds on the standard setup.
Connect the foot switch supplied with the unit to the FOOT
SWITCH jack on the ULTRABASS. Use the foot switch to switch
channels and to activate the Ultrabass function, which is
particularly useful when playing live.
To use an external effects device, connect the input of the
effects unit to the FX INSERT SEND on the ULTRABASS, and the
output of the effects device to the FX INSERT RETURN. Instead
of the floor effects shown here, you can also use a wah-wah
pedal or an external 19" effects unit.
8
ULTRABASS BXL450/BXL900/BXL1800/BXL3000
5. INSTALLATION
If you want the bass signal to go through a PA system during live
gigs, you would normally need a DI box. (DI boxes process the
signals for long cables and provide a higher output level at the
mixing console). The ULTRABASS amps have a DI box already
built in! Connect the balanced DI OUT directly to the mixing console
input or to the multi-core cable leading to the console. Use a
microphone cable (2-core shielded cable with XLR connectors).
Alternatively, you can use the LINE OUT (¼" TS jack) for short
cables and mixing consoles with line-level inputs (e.g. for
recording in your home studio without having to use a
microphone). Of course, you can also use this output as an
additional send path or to connect a tuner.
4.3 The ULTRABASS as a slave with an
external pre-amp
If you wish to use another bass preamp or modeling amp
(e. g. BASS V-AMP or BASS V-AMP PRO), you can connect this
amp to the FX INSERT RETURN jack. In this configuration, the
ULTRABASS is used as a power amp only, and the two input
channels are disabled.
5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Audio connections
Except for the headphones output, all ¼" jacks on the
BEHRINGER ULTRABASS are ¼" TS connectors. The DI output
is on a balanced XLR connector. The CD inputs are on RCA
connectors.
+Please keep in mind that your ULTRABASS should
be installed and operated only by those who possess
sufficient technical knowledge about its installation
and operation. Everyone dealing with your
ULTRABASS should be sufficiently grounded both
during the installation as well as during actual usage.
Failure to do so may cause undesirable or faulty
operation due to electromagnetic discharges, etc.
