Harley Benton BLOCK-210VH

J'utilise 2 enceintes de ce type avec un ampli TC Electronic BQ500. J'ai fait 4 concerts avec. Donc c'est une évaluation qui peut changer. En tous les cas je suis satisfait du son, on ne descend pas forcément très bas, mais la neutralité du BQ500, fait qu'on a un rendu médium bas très satisfaisant, et en coupant le tweeter c'est assez rond. J'utilise une Marcus Miller Sire V3 2nd en mode actif, car j'ai des copains guitaristes qui aiment avoir un gros volume avec des amplis à lampe. Difficile de lutter ...... Le poids est correct dans les 23kg les roulettes incorporées font le boulot. Encore une dernière remarque, lors de mes prestations récentes, j'ai remarqué que le BQ500 se déplaçait dangereusement vers le bord, quand le son était assez costaud. J'ai trouvé la parade en découpant un tapis caoutchouc caillebotis à la dimension de la surface de l'enceinte (position verticale) et ça l'fait.

I got it initially because of budget constraints. I haven’t tried the previous series, only the Block 2x10.

This thing is just crazy. The finishing really surprised me. I didn’t notice it in the videos or photos, but it has a really nice modern look, and the handle and wheels are one of those features you didn’t know you needed until you have them.

I paired the Harley Benton Block 2x10 with an Orange Little Bass Thing. At first, I planned for this to be my starting point and then get a 1x12 to go along with it for some extra low end.

I like a scooped mid sound, and this thing definitely delivers on the bass frequencies. With my amp head on 11, it gets loud, defined and really present. I was previously using a 1x12 combo, and the new setup got really good feedback from my band too, with them saying they could actually hear and feel the bass much better.

The highs are great too. The tweeter gives it plenty of clarity without getting overly bright or harsh, and it works really well even with my Stingray.

I also tried it side by side with a Markbass Traveller 2x10, and I found the Traveller didn’t deliver the bass as deep as the Block 2x10. The Block is definitely bigger and heavier than the Traveller, so it’s not the smallest 2x10 around, but it’s definitely not a bulky thing either.

At this point I’m not going to buy the Block 1x12 for now. At first I thought the sound might be a bit thin and that I’d need the 1x12 to get the low-end definition I wanted, but that’s really not needed at all. I’m confident this 2x10 will hold up well for small/medium gigs, and considering the price, it’s a steal.

I might eventually get the 1x12 for bigger gigs or just to have the option to stack them, especially given the price and quality, but for practice and smaller gigs the 2x10 is more than enough.

I am using Sire v5 jazz bass with TC BQ250 bass head. Previous i were playing with 4x10 Harley Benton solid bass cab, it was good but to boomy sound for me, closed a little, not enough low end for me, not feeling like low E note vibration, it’s good for loud rock, not very professional sound but good for loud playing, but i am playing with some acoustic instruments and į were looking for more professional, open and clear sound so I sold 410T and bought this 210VH block cab and I was surprised, it was better when I accepted, exactly what I was looking for, 39Hz frequency totally working, twitter also is super crisp, it sound very professional and high end, low E now have warm sound vibrations Hz39 į can feel, no boomy sound I am super happy, my bass setup sound very solid, so if you are looking for more professional and hi-end sound go for this new block cabs, if you need just normal loud boomy sound to play with loud drummer you can go also with old version cabs solidbass T series.
