Vanderkley Amplification is a small company based in the Netherlands, which specializes in designing and building high-end amplifiers and loudspeaker cabinets for bass players. When Vanderkley started in the year 2005, the main goal was to produce high quality and superb sounding bass speaker enclosures. In 2007, Vanderkley has designed some high-end bass amplifiers to match.The heart of every Vanderkley bass setup is the VA615 dual tube bass pre amplifier. This is a very sophisticated but easy to use all tube bass preamp. The VA615 has warmth, dynamic range, rich and detailed tone, which only tubes can provide. It features a subtle passive 5-band tone control designed by Ir. Menno van der Veen. Some other features are; separate inputs for passive and active basses with mute to tune function, a parallel effects loop which can be mixed from zero to 90% effect to your output, a phase correction switch so no frequencies are lost when the loop section is activated, a floating transformer balanced D.I. which is absolutly silent.
The preamp operates very quiet; hum and noise is extremely low, so it is also perfectly suitable for use in a recording studio. The VA615 is completely hand-made by Marc Vanderkley.The VA750 2-channel power amplifier is designed to amplify the bass preamp signal as pure and powerfull as it gets. The VA750 is a class A/B amplifier with a switchmode power supply. It produces pure and undistorted power up to 1400W at 2Ω per channel but only weighs 10 kg!
The VA750 is manufactured for Vanderkley by MC2 in England.The new line of bass cabinets contains six models: the 112MT, 210MT, 212LT, 410LT, 312BT and 610BT. Previous models or custom cabinets are available on request and can only be purchased direct from Vanderkley Amplification.
All speaker cabinets are made out of very strong, void free, Finnish birch plywood with an MDF baffle board and internal bracing. All woodworking is done with ultra precise CNC-machines. Cabinets with a tweeter feature a high-pass filter with tweeter protection and a high frequency attenuator on the back panel. Here you will also find two Neutrik® Speakon/6.3mm Jack-combo connectors linked parallel. All speaker cabinets are sealed airtight from the inside so the air will only enter or leave the cab thru the tuned port-tube mounted on either the front or back or both. All speaker cabinets are covered with real heavy-duty black carpet, which won’t wear and will protect your cabinet for years to come. Every speaker cabinet is entirely hand-made by Marc Vanderkley.“Designed to bring you the ultimate in bass amplification!â€
