Gr Bass AT 210V-800 ACTIVE SPEAKER BLACK

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

GR Bass has established itself among bassists seeking modern, lightweight, and efficient rigs, with a philosophy centered on faithful instrument reproduction. The AT 210V-800 fits this logic: a vertical 2x10 format, tailored for musicians who want a compact, easily transportable solution capable of delivering demanding performances. Within the range, this active cabinet clearly targets bassists who prioritize simplicity (a single amplified element on the output side) while maintaining a "basic amp + choice of preamp" approach.

Who This Amp Is For

This active cabinet is aimed at intermediate to professional bassists who regularly play in bands and want a reliable, powerful system that is quick to set up. In rehearsal, it provides real authority in the low end without having to push it to the max, which helps preserve definition. On stage, its 2x10 speaker format is particularly suited to environments requiring impact, articulation, and a sharp attack (funk, pop, modern rock, gospel, fusion), while remaining relevant for rounder tones if your preamp leans that way.

In studio or home studio settings, it will mainly interest those seeking a very responsive "stage amp" listening experience, with a wide bandwidth and a controllable treble via the tweeter, useful for pick playing, slap, or harmonically rich sounds.

Features and Innovations

The key concept of the AT 210V-800 is integrating the power directly into the cabinet: you no longer have to carry a separate head to drive your speakers. The amplification rated at 800 W RMS (AES standard) offers comfortable headroom to handle transients, especially on strong attacks, sustained low notes, and dynamic techniques.

The sound output relies on a 2x10 configuration complemented by a 1-inch compression tweeter (Horn Driver). This architecture maintains a present low-midrange (essential to "cut through" in a busy mix) while recovering clarity in the upper spectrum. The equalization and final character will mainly depend on your upstream chain (bass, preamp, pedals), making it a versatile base for very different setups. The 220 V mains power supply naturally suits stage and rehearsal configurations where power access is guaranteed.

Sound

This is a decidedly modern approach: an active cabinet focused on precision and projection. The two Jensen/Sica woofers (rated at 400 W each) favor a fast response and controlled low end, with a punchy feel very useful for lines that need to remain clear at high volume. The 103 dB SPL sensitivity contributes to an immediate sense of efficiency: at equivalent settings, the cabinet "speaks" quickly and fills the space without excessive effort.

The 1-inch tweeter provides the necessary attack and air for styles where the upper spectrum matters: slap, tapping, bright sounds, or simply very defined fingerstyle playing. The stated frequency response of 35 Hz to 22 kHz indicates a wide coverage, interesting for 5-string basses and for preserving harmonic detail. Depending on your preamp, you can go from a clean, round sound to a more aggressive signature, with dynamics that remain responsive and not "flabby" under the fingers.
