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.
