You don’t want to be left behind, just on the surface, you want to plunge into these new depths and take your audiences with you on this exciting journey! But you can’t abandon those on shore, the music from before the technology allowed this downward expansion and the music that doesn’t take advantage of or really need to reach these depths, so you still need to be able to do everything you’ve always done. You need something that’s not ONLY going to do the deepest lows, you need something that’s going to excel at everything all your previous subs have needed to do and ADD a whole new dimension. Makara-MK3 User Manual... - Page 3 If you want your performances to be bigger, the way to do that is to make the music bigger with these bigger waves. More people and more emotions can fit within bigger music. With the Makara, you can make the performances, the emotions and the impact of your system bigger without making your system too big to manage and without leaving anyone behind, except, perhaps, your competition... The Makara-MK3 features 5,000W of amplification, with an auto-sensing, globally compatible power supply that can run on input voltages anywhere between 90 and 250 Volts. Full output power is available on anything over 110V. The amplifier’s peak-output voltage provides intense, high SPL hits while its sustained output is unparalleled in its ability to deliver the liquid lows. The amplifier is passively cooled via its external heat sink and by woofer-generated air flow through the port. When necessary, four radial fans will engage to provide additional forced-air cooling capacity in more extreme conditions.

Provided the cabinets are physically aligned, any BASSBOSS sub can be combined with any BASSBOSS top and their outputs will be phase-coherent. This means no cancellations and no gaps in the response at the crossover frequency, regardless of which preset is selected. -
Page 5: Outboard Processor Warning
The internal processing can accomplish everything an external processor could accomplish, but without degrading the sound quality and without putting components at risk. Before considering using an outboard processor, contact BASSBOSS customer service with your use-case scenario for assistance in setting up the internal processing to achieve your goals. -

1. Each preset includes all necessary low-pass and high-pass filters at the selected frequencies, and all the necessary alignments to maintain phase coherence in the crossover range when used with other BASSBOSS powered speakers. Presets help you fine-tune the balance between the subwoofers and top speakers. More details on the different combinations are on page 7. -
Page 7: How To Use The Presets
It’s recommended that you try several, if not all, combinations when first setting up to determine which combination works best in each environment. You will likely choose different combinations for wood floors, concrete floors and outdoors. Experiment with different combinations to dial in your preferred combination in different environments. bassboss.com 7... -

Page 9: Power Distribution
Connect no more than one 5000W or two 2500W subwoofer amplifiers to a single 20A circuit. If you need to share circuits don’t exceed two BASSBOSS single-driver subwoofers or one double-driver subwoofer along with one or two top speakers on the same circuit. -
Page 10: Cardioid Mode
The main subwoofer cabinets face the audience and use one of the first 7 presets, while the cardioid cabinet faces away from the audience with Preset 8 selected. When two cabinets are facing forward and one is facing backward in cardioid mode, set the input levels the same for all cabinets, with the same signal going to all. When one cabinet is facing forward and one is facing backward in cardioid mode, set the cardioid cabinet’s level 6dB lower than the forward-facing cabinet, with both cabinets receiving the same signal. If there’s only one cabinet facing forward and another one facing backward in cardioid mode, you can place the cardioid cabinet on top of the forward-facing cabinet. If you place the cardioid cabinet next to the forward-facing cabinet, position the forward-facing cabinets further away from the stage or the area where you want to reduce sound levels. The most significant sound reduction happens along an imaginary line drawn from the center of the forward-facing cabinet’s woofer back through the center of the cardioid cabinet’s woofer. How and When to Use Cardioid Mode Cardioid mode doesn’t make the sound louder for the audience. Instead, it reduces the bass level behind the subwoofer stacks. When you have two subwoofers facing the audience and add a third one in cardioid mode, the sound level in front of the two subwoofers won’t change much. However, the sound level behind them will decrease. In some situations a wall or structure may reflect the sound radiating from the rear of the subwoofers back towards the audience. That reflected sound can cause phase cancellations leading to a loss of impact and uneven frequency response. Cardioid mode can help eliminate those cancellations before they happen, leading to better sound quality and impact for the audience.
