BASSBOSS Shakes the dust out of the NAMM Show Ceiling

BASSBOSS Creates Sonic Booms at The NAMM Show with Unveiling of Two Game-Changing Products

BASSBOSS, the trailblazing force in audio innovation, left an indelible mark at The NAMM Show 2024 with their “Demolition Experience” demonstrations by shaking the ceiling tiles, knocking out the lights and causing a viral sensation at the show. Demo-goers were left astounded, with exclamations such as “The roof was caving in on us” and “Absolutely insane!” echoing through the exhibit hall due to the sheer intensity of the aptly named “Demo-litions”.

The roof-raising, dust-creating, and audience-impressing demonstrations were powered by an extraordinary lineup of gear including six new Makara-MK3 Double 21″ Powered Subwoofers, two monumental Kraken-MK3 Quad 21″ Subwoofers, an astonishing six ZV28-MK3 Double 18″ Subwoofers, and four powerful MFLA Line Arrays. This veritable arsenal of gear created the exciting and invigorating environment of maximum craziness that only BASSBOSS will bring.

The Makara-MK3 blew away demo attendees with its punchy and almost violent bass performance and was quadruply more impactful when paired with BASSBOSS’ Kraken-MK3 Quad 21″ Powered Subwoofer, which physically combines with the Makara into a seamless monster stack of subs.

In addition to the Makara-MK3, BASSBOSS showcased the new CCM12-MK3 Compact Coaxial Monitor. This monitor stands out with its 50% smaller size compared to typical 12″ monitors, making it an ideal choice for stages, fills, and space-constrained locations. Its compact design enhances portability and setup flexibility for audio production use.

BASSBOSS’ impactful presence at The NAMM Show 2024 had attendees buzzing and continues to expand the BASSBOSS commitment to pushing the boundaries of audio experiences.

BASSBOSS Unveils the Makara-MK3 Double 21″ Powered Subwoofer

BASSBOSS announces the release of the Makara-MK3 Double 21” Powered Subwoofer, a mystic monster that provides the impact and depth of a much larger subwoofer in a portable enclosure.

The Makara shares much of its DNA with the legendary BASSBOSS Kraken Quad-21” Powered Subwoofer. Another “Monster of the Deep,” the Makara-MK3 is engineered to deliver a flat response to the profound depth of 23Hz. A massive amount of face-melting bass emits from this mythical creature made real. For those new to such profound musical depths, the encounter is unforgettable and addictive. For the initiated, it’s a sensation they crave again and again.

Like the Kraken Subwoofer, the Makara-MK3 doesn’t only go deep, it also provides the fearsome impact delivered by the short-horn loading of the fronts of the cones. The Makara shares the footprint, the depth and the impact of the Kraken, and offers increased portability and versatility by being significantly smaller and more manageable.

The Makara-MK3 achieves a maximum sustained output of 143 dB SPL at 1 meter in a half-space (ground plane) environment, with a peak SPL of 146 dB. The 21” transducers feature 4.5” CCAW voice coils and Neodymium motors that create the ideal combination of efficiency and motor force.

Each transducer is driven by a discrete amplifier. Their combined output has the potential to deliver 5000 Watts to the two drivers. Integrated with the amplification package is a comprehensive DSP that includes the “secret sauce” of the BASSBOSS line, the extensive proprietary processing by Designer David Lee. High-pass and low-pass filters, equalization and limiting are in place to ensure smooth response, reliable operation and seamless interoperability with all BASSBOSS loudspeakers and subwoofers.

A waterproof (IP65 rated) Neutrik powerCON True 1 TOP connector provides power input connection, fed from a standard US 3-pin 120V electrical plug (NEMA 5-15). Signal input and pass-through connectors are XLR. LAN connectivity for ControlBASS software is via 2 internally switch-linked EtherCON RJ45 data connectors.

The Makara-MK3 is built for durability from 18 mm marine-grade Birch plywood. The cabinet measures 48” x 28” x 36” and is finished in black, textured, bonded, high-pressure polyurea coating, making it suitable for any environment. 35mm pole sockets are provided on all 4 sides. Four steel bar handles and UHMWPE sliders make setup surprisingly easy. The Makara-MK3 sliders interlock with each other, and with the Kraken, providing the ideal building blocks for “a wall of bass.”

The Makara-MK3 is the latest embodiment of BASSBOSS’s commitment to facilitating unforgettable experiences through powerful yet practical products that provide loudspeakers for thrill seekers.

The BASSBOSS Makara-MK3 Double 21″ Powered Subwoofer will be available in late March. For more information, visit bassboss.com/makara or contact your local BASSBOSS dealer.

BASSBOSS Unveils the CCM12-MK3 Monitor

Introducing the BASSBOSS CCM12-MK3 Compact Coaxial Monitor, a versatile and powerful loudspeaker that provides inspiring sound quality and intense output for performers, nightclubs, or installations.

The CCM12-MK3 is designed to meet the needs of discerning and demanding vocalists, instrumentalists, and venues. The CCM12-MK3 stands out for its compact size, which is 50% smaller than typical 12” monitors, making it an attractive fit for stages and fills. It saves space on stage, in room corners, and in size-constrained locations. For audio production use, its very small size enhances portability and setup flexibility.

One of the key features of the CCM12-MK3 is its coaxial driver, which delivers an 80-degree conical coverage pattern. This ensures that sound quality is consistent and uniform, regardless of where the audience is located, addressing the common issue of sound character changing with different listening positions. Additionally, this design helps in reducing feedback, a notable advantage over traditional performance monitors.

The monitor is designed with versatility in mind, offering multiple monitoring options. It can be adjusted to three different upward angles to suit both standing and seated performers. The CCM12-MK3 can be placed on subwoofers or tables, pole-mounted, used as a stage side-fill or front-fill, and mounted on walls or ceilings, thanks to its M10 fly-points and compact size.

The CCM12-MK3 features completely integrated processing with eight on-board presets. These settings are optimized for various scenarios, including floor-monitor duty, boundary loading, and extended LF output. The monitor’s high-fidelity electronics, ultra-low noise CODECS, and high-resolution amplification contribute to its exceptional sound quality.

Lastly, the monitor’s powerful amplification capabilities, featuring a bi-amped Class-D SMPS with PFC, deliver 900W LF and 300W HF power. Its sealed enclosure design provides flexibility for both low-frequency extension and high-SPL operation, making the CCM12-MK3 a robust and versatile choice for a wide range of audio needs.

The CCM12-MK3 excels with its 12” coaxial woofer and 3” voice coil, coupled with a 1.4” throat compression driver. These components work together to produce robust low frequencies and clear high frequencies. The monitor’s advanced technology ensures tight transient response and consistent phase response.

Availability

The BASSBOSS CCM12-MK3 Compact Coaxial Monitor will be available in late February. For more information, pricing and dealer information visit bassboss.com/ccm

Cincinnati’s Nightlife Booms with BASSBOSS at Tulua Nightclub

Tulua Nightclub and Cocktail Bar, a cutting-edge entertainment destination in Cincinnati, OH, is revolutionizing the local nightlife experience with its exceptional audio offerings, proudly featuring a state-of-the-art BASSBOSS sound system.

Tulua Nightclub and Cocktail Bar has made a significant investment in audio excellence by incorporating six BASSBOSS DiaMon top speakers and two SSP218 Subwoofers, establishing a new benchmark for audio quality and ensuring unforgettable nights on the town.

“Back in the day, the first time I heard BASSBOSS, I worked at a club in a 20,000 square foot building,” recalled Daniel Newell, co-owner of Tulua Nightclub. “We were having issues with sound, and then we replaced three of the dual 18-inch cabinets with VS21 Powered Subwoofers and it just brought the place to life. That’s what sold me on BASSBOSS.”

Newell notes that Tulua Nightclub’s BASSBOSS sound has significantly enhanced the experience for its patrons. “We wanted something that was going to be different from every other bar and club we’ve seen in town. BASSBOSS fit the bill. The DiaMon tops were the perfect fit aesthetically, but I was skeptical about the amount of output they would create. I really didn’t think that they would be as loud as they are!”

The BASSBOSS system’s exceptional low frequencies have been a standout feature for Tulua Nightclub. Newell adds, “the lower frequencies you don’t feel from an off-the-shelf subwoofer. You really feel it in your chest and from the vibrations of the building. It’s the wildest thing, things outside the building are rattling! It shows the frequencies that go down to levels you can’t even hear, but you can feel.”

Guests at Tulua Nightclub have also been blown away by the crystal clear sound quality that the BASSBOSS system delivers. Newell commented, “it’s amazing how clear the speakers are. There’s nothing comparable in size to the size-to-output ratio.”

Newell is also sold on the system’s reliability and durability. “Pretty much every club DJ just takes it to the extreme level,” he explained. “I’ve worked in clubs for 15 years and I’ve seen speakers failing on a weekly basis, speakers going out, amplifiers blowing, having to change out woofers, you name it, I’ve seen it. With BASSBOSS, you can push them right to the extreme – and they just keep going. We haven’t had any issues so far, and we push them seven days a week. BASSBOSS is on another level.”

To fellow club owners and managers looking for an exceptional audio system, Newell has this to say, “I would highly recommend BASSBOSS. It’s a great product. The gear is built like a tank. I would have no hesitation recommending any BASSBOSS product.”

Tulua Nightclub and Cocktail Bar’s commitment to delivering an unparalleled audio experience sets it apart as the premier destination for those seeking a captivating and immersive nightlife encounter in Cincinnati. The addition of BASSBOSS’s cutting-edge sound system has elevated the club’s atmosphere to new heights.

BASSBOSS MK3 ARRIVING NOW

BASSBOSS is proud to announce that the much anticipated MK3 series is now arriving to dealers nationwide. MK3 brings performance improvements and an enhanced user experience – with an upgraded 96kHz DSP, weatherproof inputs, waterproof power connectors, global power compatibility, and improved amplifier power allocation.  Additionally, the new ControlBASS software for easy remote management is being introduced.

“Following the announcement of the new feature-filled BASSBOSS MK3 series and the electrifying demo experience at NAMM ’23, we are massively excited that dealers will finally be able to deliver this world-class solution,” noted National Sales Manager Samia Scoda. “The level of enthusiasm across the board for the brand and this new series is unprecedented, and is a testament to BASSBOSS’s customer-centric design focus. For customers who seek incredible performance and value, MK3 delivers!”

The upgraded DSP in the MK3 series boasts significantly more processing power. The 96kHz sampling rate is double that of previous generations. Users will immediately notice higher resolution, a lower noise floor, and even greater fidelity. The number of directly accessible preset curves has doubled from 4 to 8, and presets can be easily cycled at the touch of a button with no signal drop-outs. Up to 100 additional on-board presets are available via the intuitive ControlBASS software.

A new integrated 2-port networking switch allows for cascaded network configurations for control of multiple cabinets at once. The easy-to-use ControlBASS application, available for both Mac and Windows, enables users to monitor system status, control levels, and update processing options remotely.

In addition to the new DSP, BASSBOSS has also updated its amplifiers to improve power utilization. The new amplifiers allocate more power to low-frequency channels – where more power is always needed – increasing overall system output capacity. The MK3 series power supplies are operable on inputs from 90-250VAC, allowing more efficient operation on generators and power distribution systems, as well as making them electrically compatible worldwide. The MK3 line also features rugged Neutrik powerCON TOP (True Outdoor Protection) power connectors, providing IP65 level protection for added peace of mind in harsh conditions.

“It has been a long time and a lot of work to incorporate all the updates I wanted to include, but the BASSBOSS MK3 series has finally arrived!” noted BASSBOSS President and Designer, David Lee. “l am thrilled to be able to provide these upgrades in performance and features to our customers. I believe they enhance the value of the products significantly, now and far into the future.”

Winners of UPnXt DJ Contest Announced

The 2023 DJX Show UpnXt DJ Contest for aspiring youth DJs has come to an exciting conclusion. After intense competition and a display of exceptional talent, BASSBOSS is proud to announce the winners of the social media video challenge, who now have the opportunity to showcase their DJ skills at DJX’23, held at the Atlantic City Hard Rock Hotel in August.

DJ Dillion (Dillon Jordan, 17) took the top spot as the challenge winner, with his great material choices and innovative style. At just 8 years old, DJ Dillion asked his parents to get him a DJ controller – and ever since has been dedicated to learning his craft. He has now been DJing for 9 years, and in addition to winning the UPnXt Challenge, he has won numerous other contests, including the 2020 We Are Hip-Hop DJ Battle and the 2021 CLT DJ Battle.

DJ Giz and DJ EliT (Franklin Burch, 12 and Elijah Thomas,14) secured second and third place, respectively. Their infectious beats and undeniable talent impressed the judges, and their performances promise to show how younger DJs are pushing the field forward.

The winner will receive an exclusive VIP trip to Atlantic City, NJ – including an all-access pass to DJX’23. Furthermore, all three winners get to perform a DJ set at the renowned BASSBOSS “Demolition Room” and floor booth during DJX’23.

“We are thrilled to congratulate DJ Dillion, DJ Giz, and DJ EliT for their remarkable talent in the UpnXt Challenge,” said Lian Amber, CEO of BASSBOSS. “Their skills, dedication and passion for music have shone through, and we cannot wait to witness their sets at DJX’23! These young DJs are the future of the industry, and we are proud to provide them with this opportunity to shine.”

The UPnXt DJ Contest was a unique collaboration between BASSBOSS and the #NoChaser International Kidz DJ Cafe, a self-funded organization that provides a safe space for children to learn and grow through music and art programs. Located in Philadelphia, PA, the Kidz Cafe aims to educate youth on the art of DJing, aspects of DJ history and culture, and running a successful entertainment business. Participating youth DJs have various opportunities at local radio stations and venues, including corporate events, large social gatherings, and weddings.

The UPnXt Challenge brought together both BASSBOSS’ and Kidz DJ Cafe’s passion for music and the desire to showcase and support young talent. To enter, youth DJs submitted five minute videos of a DJ performance, and were evaluated on musical material, DJ skills, and presentation.

All contestants of the UPnXt Challenge will also be performing at a Silent Disco party on Tuesday evening in the BASSBOSS Demo Room, as well as Immolakee Studio B at the Hard Rock Hotel, Atlantic City NJ from 6-8 PM, and all day on Wednesday, August 9th at the BASSBOSS Booth #503 on the floor of the trade show.

DJX’23 will also be hosting a youth-driven panel discussion featuring International Kidz Cafe youth, where they will describe the challenges faced by non-typical DJs of all ages and demographics in their seminar “Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover.” Expect a session filled with solutions and inspiration on Tuesday, August 8th in Hollywood Ballroom East at 4:30pm.
