AshdownOriginal EVO C112-300 300W 1x12" Bass Combo Amp - Black

Packing 300W of bass power into a compact 1x12" combo weighing just 29.8 lb., the Ashdown Original EVO C112-300 combines a 12" speaker and HF horn with flexible tone shaping and connectivity for practice, rehearsal, recording and live performance. A 5-band EQ, signature Shape voicing and Passive/Active input flexibility provide extensive control over the bass signal. A front-facing effects loop simplifies pedal integration, with a balanced XLR DI for sending the signal directly to a mixer or recording setup, a headphone output for silent practice and dual 1/4" speaker outputs for expanding the rig. A compact kickback enclosure lets the combo angle toward the player for monitor-style positioning, while a scuff-resistant finish, global voltage support and adaptive temperature-controlled cooling round out the design. 12" Speaker and HF Horn in a Compact 300W Combo The Original EVO C112-300 pairs its 300W power section with a 12" speaker and HF horn in a compact 1x12" configuration. The combination provides a self-contained speaker platform for rehearsals, recording and live performance while retaining a smaller footprint than larger multi-speaker bass rigs. When a larger speaker configuration is required, two 1/4" speaker outputs support connection to compatible extension cabinets while accommodating the amplifier's 4-ohm minimum load. 5-Band EQ and Shape Control for Wide-Ranging Bass Tones The Original EVO C112-300's 5-band EQ provides detailed control for shaping the amp around different instruments, playing styles and musical settings. Each band offers ±15dB of boost or cut, allowing both subtle adjustments and more substantial tonal changes. The Shape switch provides immediate access to Ashdown's contoured voicing before further adjustment with the EQ. A Passive/Active switch accommodates instruments with different output levels, while dedicated Input and Output controls provide independent adjustment of the incoming signal and overall playing volume. Flexible Connectivity for Stage, Studio and Practice The Original EVO C112-300 is equipped for live performance, recording and everyday practice. A front-facing effects loop provides a convenient integration point for pedals and external processors, while the balanced XLR DI output provides a direct connection to a mixing console, PA or recording interface. A dedicated headphone output supports silent practice, and two 1/4" speaker outputs provide the flexibility to incorporate compatible extension cabinets when a larger speaker configuration is required. Together with its 1/4" instrument input, these connections provide straightforward routing for a range of bass setups. Lightweight Kickback Design for Flexible Positioning At just 29.8 lb., the Ashdown Original EVO C112-300 combines a 300W bass platform with a compact design intended for easy transport between rehearsals, sessions and performances. Its kickback enclosure can angle the speaker toward the player for monitor-style positioning or stand vertically in a conventional backline setup. A scuff-resistant finish helps protect the cabinet during regular use and transport, while an adaptive temperature-controlled fan manages cooling as needed. Support for 115–230V operation and Ashdown's five-year warranty round out the combo's practical feature set. From its iconic Bass Magnifier amps and bass cabinets to pedals, guitar amplification and artist-driven designs, the family-run company has remained dedicated to giving players distinctive tone and dependable performance while renewing its commitment to UK-built craftsmanship.
