Putting together a practice rig, pf-350 and av210?

It worked pretty well for me for medium sized gigs and rehearsals.

 

Your 210 AV is rated 200 watts RMS and is a 8 ohms cabinet.
The output on you PF350 states that it will deliver 250 watts to a 8 ohms load, 350 watts to a 4 ohms load.
You can use the two together but you must listen for any speaker stress. The obvious solution is to get a second 210AV.

 

I would think the PF350 and 210AV to be a perfect match.

 

I do it all the time. Just have to watch that you don't stress out the cab and you'll be fine.

 

You’ll be fine with a 350 and the single 210av, as long as you listen for signs of stress. Practice should be just fine.

You might want to get a second 210av anyway, though, because I can guarantee that combination will sound so good that you’ll want to gig it.

 

Well the PF500 wouldn't sit neatly on the top like a PF350 And honestly, I used to have a PF800, which is a PF500 with 300 more watts, and while I thought it was a great head that's a little better than the PF350, I've been fine with the PF350 since I set all my amps to sound about the same anyway. But yeah, if you think one 210av sounds great, you should hear it with two in a vertical stack. I generally just bring one because I never play very loud, but two definitely sounds better and projects more. And for a limited time, you can get them in red

 

I just got another 210av to go with my Pf350. Unfortunately my pf350 has started to crap out, so I bought a used rumble500 to replace it rather than repair. It’s “too many” watts, but I’m not worried. Most importantly it will fit on top of the stack nicely lol. I don’t jack up the low end and it will be perfect for typical bar gigs someday.

 

Should be perfect. Dont worry about rms watts being a little more coming from an amp you'll have at half volume

 

For those who understand these things better than me: would a high pass filter help the OP keep the chances of speaker damage low?

 

Right? Haha. I mean sure, when buying a set up, you want to match for optimum performance. But, it really doesn't matter man. Over or under powered. Just be smart about it. My church has been running a peavey 1000w bass amp into a 200w 210 for years. Still sounds great.

 

I use the PF-350 into a PF-112HLF 200w cab w/o any problems 'stressing' the speaker. It gives me the marvelous Ampeg "almost tube" sound that I like. If that's what you want, I wouldn't use a TC Bam200W amp; I also had one of those and the 'transparent' sound they put out, while neat in it's own way, is completely different from the Ampeg sound IMO...
