PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – The SHUTTLE
MAX 9.2 bass amplifier has been designed with our unique ultra light
unified design process, yielding a 900 watt professional high powered tour-class bass guitar amplifier weighing only
®
®
6.75 lbs! The SHUTTLE
MAX 9.2 is the 2nd generation of Genz Benz SHUTTLE
MAX amplifiers which now
incorporates our new 3-Dimensional Power Management circuitry. Our proprietary 3DPM™ technology insures
greater and more solid sounding output while retaining the feel and playability of a more traditional tube based power
amplifier. When driving the power amp hard, the player can feel increased heft and girth of the individual notes,
while maintaining dynamics and articulation. The result is an amplifier that achieves a more 3 dimensional tone
and feel, like a tube amplifier power section, without the anemic flatness other amplifier designs can exhibit. This
PATENTED compact design blends the best of analog and digital platforms to produce the ultimate in warmth, punch
and power.
®
The SHUTTLE
MAX 9.2 is equipped with a ¼" unbalanced instrument input; input stage clip detector; mute
switch with LED indicator; FET and 12AX7 tube preamps each with high/low gain stage settings and 4 band active
equalization with 2 sweepable midrange bands; 3 switched SIGNAL SHAPE filters with level adjustments; master
volume; proprietary 3DPM™ technology; tuner out; aux input; 3 effects loops; balanced direct output with ground lift,
pre or post EQ, and mic/line switches; headphone output; 2 Neutrik NL-4 Speakon™ speaker jacks; and a 5-button
footswitch.
The power amp is a powerful, lightweight Class D design and is supported by a state-of-the-art high frequency
Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which does away with the weight of a traditional power transformer. The
®
SHUTTLE
MAX 9.2's power supply is usable from 100-240 volts, lending itself well to international touring players.

    FRONT PANEL ® INPUT – The SHUTTLE MAX 9.2 is equipped with a standard ¼” unbalanced input. The input sensitivity range is from 40 mV to over 1.6 volts. The input impedance is >500K ohms. The input stage contains a precision high order active high pass filter (more effective and less intrusive than the more common 6 dB filters) and an “RFI”...
  • Page 3 O/L LED – In the FET channel this LED senses the condition of the input signal after the GAIN control and also senses and warns of possible clipping in the EQ network. The O/L sensing circuit is very dependent upon the output of the bass instrument pickups, the GAIN and VOLUME level settings of the FET channel and the amount of EQ used i.e.
  • Page 4 ® ACTIVE EQUALIZATION (both channels) – The SHUTTLE MAX 9.2 contains two active 4 band equalizers (one for the FET and one for the TUBE channel) each with 2 sweepable parametric midrange frequency networks (LOW-MID and HIGH-MID) that offer 15dB of cut or boost with a bandwidth of approximately 1 octave wide. These are slightly overlapping filters to provide ultimate flexibility.
  • Page 5 3DPM™ --- 3 DIMENSIONAL POWER MANAGEMENT --- Our proprietary 3DPM™ technology insures greater and more solid sounding output while retaining the feel and playability of a more traditional tube based power amplifier. When driving the power amp hard the player can feel increased heft and girth of the individual notes, while maintaining dynamics and articulation.

    REAR PANEL DIRECT OUTPUT – An XLR balanced DIRECT OUTPUT is provided for connection to a PA system or directly into a recording studio console or A/D converter. The DIRECT OUTPUT signal may be switched between MIC and LINE level, PRE and POST EQ, and the audio signal ground may be connected or lifted from pin 1 with the GND LIFT switch to eliminate hum due to ground loops.
  • Page 7 FOOTSWITCHES – A DIN connector is provided for connecting the included 5-button footswitch. Model# F/S-STL-MAX. This footswitch controls CHANNEL switching and mixing along with all the global SIGNAL SHAPE circuits. Additionally a ¼” footswitch jack is also provided for switching the MUTE function separately. Any single button latching style footswitch will operate this function.
  • Page 8 Accessories: ® RACK MOUNTING – The SHUTTLE MAX is designed for optional rack mounting in a standard EIA style 19” equipment rack or tour-case. An optional rack mounting kit is available from your dealer. Model# STL-MAX-RK. GIG-BAG – A custom padded carry bag with shoulder strap is available as an optional accessory from your dealer.
