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 weigh-
® ®
ing 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 result is increased heft and girth while maintaining the dynamics
and articulation of individual notes. 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 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 overload 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 ad-
justments; MASTER VOLUME; TUNER OUT; AUX INPUT; 3 EFFECTS LOOPS; balanced DIRECT OUTPUT with
GROUND LIFT, PRE or POST EQ; and MIC/LINE switches; HEADPHONE OUTPUT; and 2 Neutrik NL-4 "Speak-
on"™ speaker jacks.
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 9.2's power supply is usable from 100-240 volts, lending itself well to international touring players.
