Ashdown Engineering Studio 15 300-Watt 1x15-inch Bass Combo Amplifier
Drop the back-breaking weight of traditional high-powered bass gear without sacrificing an ounce of your foundational low-end muscle. The Ashdown Engineering Studio 15 is a highly portable, 300-watt bass combo engineered from the ground up to deliver Ashdown's iconic warm, articulate British tone in an ultra-light package. Driving a custom 15-inch NEO loudspeaker alongside an integrated high-frequency tweeter, this gig-ready powerhouse weighs just over 34 pounds—making it the ultimate grab-and-go solution for rehearsals, project studios, and small-to-medium venue stages.
Key Features
- 300 Watts of Lightweight Muscle: Powered by a highly efficient, high-output power section built into a super-light poplar ply cabinet, reducing overall rig weight down to an astonishing 34.2 lbs (15.5 kg).
- Custom 15" NEO Speaker & HF Unit: Outfitted with a premium, lightweight 15-inch Neodymium driver paired with a high-frequency tweeter to deliver deep, thumping vintage lows alongside modern slap articulation.
- Precise 5-Band Studio Equalizer: Take absolute command over your frequency spectrum with an extended 5-band EQ featuring intuitive knobs for Bass, Low-Mid, Middle, Hi-Mid, and Treble for immediate room correction.
- Foot-Switchable Valve Emulated Drive: Inject rich, old-school tube-style grit and aggressive distortion into your signal path using an integrated overdrive circuit, easily toggleable via an external physical footswitch.
- One-Touch Pre-Shape Contour: Instantly optimize your starting tone profile with a global Pre-Shape switch, applying a classic tailored EQ curve that brings out the natural depth and character of your bass.
- Rear Panel Tweeter Mute Switch: Features a dedicated physical toggle to completely deactivate the high-frequency tweeter, letting you instantly drop back into a round, traditional, and smooth old-school bass voice.
- Pro Balanced XLR DI Output: Feed an immaculate, mix-ready balanced signal directly to front-of-house PA systems, venue monitors, or recording console audio interfaces without needing an external physical DI box.
- Dedicated Effects Loop & I/O: Seamlessly run your favorite compression, modulation, or time-based pedals through an integrated Effects Loop, complete with a 1/8" Line Input for backing tracks and a 1/8" Headphone jack for silent practice.
