Eden WT800C Bass Guitar Amplifier HeadThe Eden WT800 Bass Amp Head was introduced over a decade ago and has since been one the Number One choice of Eden's touring endorsers.
The upgraded WT800 C version now boasts an improved cooling system and more power. Conservatively rated at 440 Watts (4 Ohms) per side with both channels driven, and 880W bridged into 8 Ohms and a whopping 1100 Watts bridged into 4 Ohms (with a minimum of 3dB of headroom), the WT800 is still the perfect choice for the touring professional.
The WT800C is also equipped with a Mono Bridge Interlock Safety Circuit – When the amplifier is set to Bridge Mode operation, this circuit disconnects the Left and Right Outputs. This prevents accidental connection of the L/R outputs when in Bridge Mode. Now only the Bridge Mono Output will work in Bridge Mode.
Another key new feature of the WT800C is Amplifier Output Fuses – Eden has added internal fusing to both amplifiers. In the event of catastrophic failure, these fuses protect speaker cabinets from damage. It’s not like this ever happened a lot, but on very rare occasions it has, and they wanted to give your speakers more protection.
Standard features include: switchable automatic compression, five-way semi-parametric tone control, electronic crossover, pre and post effect loops, stereo aux inputs, DI out with ground lift and Pre/Post EQ switch, headphone out, tuner out with Mute to Tune to mute all outputs except the Tuner Out for silent tuning, and a thermostatically controlled fan.
Since their beginning as a custom builder for professional artists and manufacturers in 1976, Eden Electronics has had one goal in mind: To build the highest quality bass amplification equipment possible. Their goal is truly realized with the David Series Bass Enclosures and Professional Amplification.
From the beginning, the key to Eden's success was the development of high quality, innovative designs, coupled with the best possible quality control through in-house manufacturing of all key design elements. Each component in the Eden David and World Tour Series is hand built and tested in their new factory complex.
At Eden, each new cabinet design begins its life as a CAD model. Sophisticated relationships between speaker and cabinet size, air movement and baffle design are first designed with the assistance of specialized computer simulations. While CAD has revolutionized cabinet design, nothing replaces the trained human ear. Each Eden cabinet is carefully evaluated for sonic detail and voicing by their staff and professional bass players in real-world situations. The result is a marriage of technology and pure musical considerations: the Eden David Series Bass Enclosures.
All Eden enclosures are constructed with 5/8" thick void free plywood with full dado and rabbet jointing. Massive internal bracing prevents vibration and keeps the sound deep, tight and clear. Exclusive Eden Cast Frame loudspeakers and Eden Cast Bell ultra low distortion tweeter horns are designed, hand-built and tested in their own factory.
True to Eden's goal of providing the professional bassist a no-compromise solution to bass amplification, the hand-built World Tour Series amplifiers utilize the finest materials and highest quality control of any system on the market today. The exceptional tone quality of the World Tour Series is the result of a marriage of traditional vacuum tube technology with the reliability of modern solid state devices. The Eden design philosophy is at the heart of their sonically superior hybrid design. Maximum reliability in the amplification of natural bass sound without unwanted sound coloration.
At the heart of the power section is Eden's massive toroidal transformer which provides the World Tour Series with more consistent regulation and sonic quality with less weight than traditional transformer design. For maximum rigidity and rejection of unwanted electromagnetic interference, Eden Amplifiers utilize a unique one-piece main chassis made from a single piece of heavy aluminum plate with 18 gauge steel chassis covers. Lock washers on all the screws prevent loosening from vibration, while on the job or on the road. In the unlikely event of an operational problem, Eden’s state-of- the-art modular electronic construction allows for easy repair and simple upgrades. All World Tour Series amplifier systems come standard with rack mount kits, easily selectable AC voltages for international use and a rock-solid two-year world-wide warranty.
Finally, Eden believes that their world-class innovative products are only the beginning of their story. Since their inception, Eden has built an unsurpassed reputation among players for our excellent Customer Service. They thank you for choosing Eden Amplification and are certain you will find Eden products to be technically superior, with an unsurpassed musical quality.
