Vanderkley Amplification is a small company in the Netherlands, which specializes in designing and building high-end amplifiers and loudspeaker cabinets for bass players. When Vanderkley started in the year 2005, the main goal was to produce high quality, superb sounding bass speaker enclosures and provide excellent service.
In 2007, Vanderkley has designed some high-end bass amplifiers to match.
The heart of every Vanderkley bass setup is the VA615 dual tube bass pre amplifier. This is a very sophisticated but easy to use all tube bass preamp. The VA615 is completely hand wired and has warmth, dynamic range, rich and detailed tone, which only tubes can provide. It features a subtle passive 5-band tone control designed by Ir. Menno van der Veen.
Some other features are; separate inputs for passive and active basses with mute to tune function, a parallel effects loop which can be mixed from zero to 90% effect to your output, a phase correction switch so no frequencies are lost when the loop section is activated, a floating transformer balanced D.I. which is absolutely silent.
The preamp operates very quiet; hum and noise are extremely low, so it is also perfectly suitable for use in a recording studio. The VA615 is completely hand-made by Marc Vanderkley.
The VA750 2-channel power amplifier is designed to amplify the bass preamp signal as pure and powerfull as it gets.
The VA750 is a class A/B amplifier with a switchmode power supply. It produces pure and undistorted power up to 1400W at 2Ω per channel but only weighs 10kg!
The VA750 is manufactured for Vanderkley by MC2 in England.
The new ‘NeoLite series’ of bass cabinets contains four models: 112MNT, 210MNT, 212LNT and 410LT. The NeoLite cabinets are loaded with the latest generation custom-made neodymium drivers.
All speaker cabinets are made out of very strong but lightweight, void free birch and poplar plywood, dowelled joint construction and internal bracing. All woodworking is done with ultra precise CNC-machines.
Cabinets with a tweeter feature a high-pass filter with tweeter protection and a high frequency attenuator on the back panel. Here you will also find two Neutrik® Speakon/6.3mm Jack-combo connectors linked parallel. It is wise to always use speaker cables with real Neutrik® Speakon connectors; other brands sometimes make a poor connection.
All speaker cabinets are sealed airtight from the inside so the air will only enter or leave the cab thru the tuned port-tube mounted on either the front or back or both. All speaker cabinets are covered black carpet and will protect your cabinet for years to come. Every speaker cabinet is hand-made by Marc Vanderkley.
“Designed to bring you the ultimate in bass amplification!”
