| | | | GK cabs question
I've been looking at the GK series of cabs and I want to make sure I have this right.
The MBP series are made to work with the MB combos.
The MBE and NEO are made to work with any head. |

I just ordered a GK MB Series-II Combo with the intention of ordering a MBP to add to it in a couple of months.

2) Also true, the NEO series can also be used with HMS G-K "biamp" heads like the 700,1001, 2001 and Fusion 550 and the dynamic horn is controlled from the amp head. The MBE can be used with these heads but the piezo horn is only controlled by the on/off switch on the cab.
The RBH series cabs are still being made last I knew as well and are HMS cabs like the NEO's but use ceramic magnet speakers. NEO and RBH cabs have a tweeter level L-Pad for full range use so you can control the amount of horn instead of just on/off.

The answer I got was no, the current MB200 can not be used with an MBP cab...at least not yet...till they introduce an upgraded version of it later this year.

If it is +4db then the output is too weak, if it will dive at +10db line level it should work very well.
