"We did not re-invent the
wheel, We just made it a little rounder"
|
|
Germany's Glockenklang began building
high-quality PA and hi-fi equipment in 1974; the small company entered
the bass-amp business in '88. "Glockenklang" translates loosely to "bell
sound", which represents their amps' clarity. Many high-end bass
builders use Glocks as a reference standard because they reveal an
instrument's nuances and character in microscopic detail. Luthiers often
set the Glock's tone controls nearly flat or bypass them completely to
hear a bass's pure sound.
Today Glockenklang is Germany's
finest for Bass Amplification and Speakers and is truly WORLD CLASS.
In today’s trend to make
everything bigger, faster or flashier, the team at Glockenklang give
thought to the concept of making things simply ‘better’. They believe
that too many times very important aspects in Bass Amplification just
simply get overlooked. They focus their thinking in terms like
‘fidelity’, ‘life’, ‘airy’, and ‘precise’. Cultivating such qualities is
darn difficult and technically challenging for most, but Glockenklang
have proven that it is not impossible.
Glockenklang products are worth every bit of their price. One notices
this from the first tone, which is unforgettable.

BASSWARE LINE OF
AMPLIFIERS Both the Heart Rock and Soul II
amplifiers have been technically upgraded recently. The Heart Rock puts
out a MASSIVE 1000 real watts @ 2.67 ohms. This means, it can handle
three 8 ohms cabs or one 4 ohms and one 8 ohms cab. As well as this, the
preamps in both the Heart Rock and Soul II have been modified to provide
a warm, accurate and very dynamic and powerful bass-sound. One of the
highlights is the newly developed mosfet-poweramp section, which gives
both amps an incredible dimension in dynamics and power. As well
as this, increased gain levels provide a smooth overdrive, if desired.
Both amplifiers rewards it's owners with clear, articulate and powerful
sound reproduction. The response is lightning fast and pure at the same
time. Your bass notes will have a certain fullness and body unheard of
from any Solid State amp. Almost "TUBE LIKE".
The pre amp's main
feature is the 5 band eq, with it's specially tailored frequency centres.
It allows the artist to quickly and exactly shape his individual sound.
Perfect for the discriminating bass artists, capable of producing a
lively and accurate bass sound, even under extreme conditions.
These QUOTES were taken from
Reviews done by USA's BASS PLAYER MAGAZINE
"Even with the EQ
set flat, it's hard to imagine a more detailed, hi-fi, deep, and overall
pleasing bass tone."
"And "if only the very best will satisfy your gear tones, check out a
Glock—if for no other reason than to hear what near-perfect tone sounds
like."

BASS ART CLASSIC HEAD AND PREAMP LINE "The tone floats about
the room, it pounces on you with precision, and ease, dynamically
correct. You wanted this all your life, but have never heard it before.
Notes, chords are audible in all their finest detail.
PURE and RICH.
It's not just the deep, clear bass, but rather the entire tonal spectrum
with all it's nuances. Everything you can create with your instrument."
These are the successors to the legendary BASS ART AMPLIFIER TOP. The
input configuration with 2 switcheable inputs was borrowed from the Soul
and Heart Rock, including the trim control for input B. The tone
controls feature Class A circuits. The power amp is dampened and
designed for quick transitions, fast rise times, and reliable operation.
This amp defines fatique free listening! It's power amplifier is the
same as one of the stereo sides of the Bugatti power amp. Exactly what a
bass guitar would ask for if only it could!
The BASS ART PREAMP
features are identical to the Bass Art Classic Amplifier, less the power
amp section. This preamp combined with any decent poweramp will let you
appreciate the purity and richness displayed with the BASS ART
AMPLIFIER. It especially excels when combined with the
BERGANTINO POWERED IP BOXES.

GLOCKENKLANG BASS LOUDSPEAKERS
All STANDARD
Glockenklang speaker systems use Volt woofers, custom made exclusively
for Glockenklang, and Fostex tweeters. The standard cabinets are
built from Baltic Birch timber which is then externally finished with a
durable epoxy coating, and a studio-grade acoustic foam lines the
inside.
There is also
LIGHTWEIGHT versions available which are identical to their
STANDARD models except that they use composite sheets in the
construction, and carpet on the outside to reduce the weight by up to
6kg (13lbs) on some models.
NEODYMIUM loaded speaker cabinets are also
available for the TAKE 5 - 410
& DUO 210 range which makes these cabinets even lighter by up to a
further 6kg (13lbs) than the LIGHT version using the same composite
materials and carpet.
All Glockenklang speaker systems compliment their
range of amplifiers very well and just enhance the pure, rich tone
produced by their amplifiers. Very sensitive, responsive and dynamic
describes the performance of their speakers.
The Double cab is known as the
warmest sounding Glockenklang cabinet. It is a joy with fretted
basses, but really shines with fretless basses. It seems to
bring out that last little detail with great warmth and
definition. Combines nicely with either the Uno Deluxe 15" or
Quattro 410.
