User questions & answers

Question:	what are its dimensions and does it come with a power supply
Answer:	The combo is 18" high, 15.7" wide, and 13.2" deep. It comes with a standard 120VAC power cable.
Question:	What is the speaker wattage of the max 100? Is it a100 watt
Answer:	No, it’s a 50 watt.
Question:	What is the weight of this amp? Specs say 1 lb, but that's highly unlikely
Answer:	Very unlikely. ;) Even so, I double-checked the weight on my bathroom scale. It's a VERY manageable 25 pounds (or 11.3 kilograms).
Question:	Can a microphone also be hook up for playing the guitar and sing at the same time? Thanks
Answer:	Short answer: Maybe. Longer answer: There's an Auxiliary Input (3.5mm) that's normally for audio input from an iPod/phone/external music source. You might be able to plug in a microphone with a 3.5mm plug, but I don't know if the signal would be strong enough to complete with the bass. You might be better off dropping Peavey a note and getting your answer direct from them.

User questions & answers

Question:	what size speaker are in the cab 12''s or 10''s
Answer:	These are Ceramic Magnet and the higher priced ones are Alnico 5 magnets. There’s a difference.
Question:	Does this cab come with wheels on the bottom
Answer:	Yes they can be split!
Question:	would this be good for playing small gigs like for a beginner band
Answer:	The one I bought was a bridge 4 wire using the Seymour Duncan type wiring diagram: Black North Start (+) White North Finsh (-) Red South Finsh (+) Green South Start (-) so tie the Red/White together and this is the humbucker with Black to positive and Green to ground along with the drain wire. I used this for a 4 wire option On/On/On switch for series/coil split/parallel option and it worked great.
Question:	is the cab straight or ported
Answer:	I believe Brian lee Wade is correct -with one caveat . The black (north start +) is also wired to the bottom plate as a ground! If I and Matt are correct that means you must connect the black north start ( +) to ground and yellow south finish - to hot. Kind of backwards and Im not sure how this affect phasing with other pick ups yet. Could be wrong but thats what I come up with.

Headliner 210

The new Headliner series has been re-designed from the ground up for the serious bass player on a budget. Voiced for punchy bass with lots of harmonic tone, the versatility and performance of the Headliner 210 encourages use with any fine bass amp head.

The Headliner 210 is constructed using internal bracing, and is covered with road-worthy black carpet. Steel corners protect the cabinet from the rigors of the road. The cabinet includes a black powdercoat finished 16 gauge perforated metal grille.

The two 10" ferrite magnet woofers are designed with a rich bass tone in mind. The sealed cabinet insures tight bass notes, with every note rendered precisely. Inputs include two 1/4" input phone jacks, and one 4-pin twist-lock connector for maximum flexibility.

With a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, and a power handling of 400 watts program and 800 watts peak, the Headliner 210 can be used in conjunction with any reasonably sized bass amp head. With the 8 ohm impedance, the Headliner 210 can be easily stacked on top of a Headliner 410 cabinet, resulting in a 4 ohm total load.

The power amp reacts just like a tube output section by responding to the preamp with natural compression that increases as the amp gets louder. With Trans Tube, you get a killer amp with widely ranging dynamics and natural "grit," just like a tube amp!

The result is a line of amplifiers with widely ranging dynamics and natural 'grit,' just like a real tube amp.

Peavey MiniMax bass amplifier head

• 500 Watts RMS into 4 ohms
• DDT speaker protection
• Pre-gain control with Trans Tube gain boost
• Two twist-lock combo 1/4" outputs

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have an effects loop? Also how many ohms
Answer:	10's. The last 412 bass cab Peavey made was the txv.
Question:	Is the sparker out put a NA4LJX speakON
Answer:	Nope. No wheels.
Question:	Do you need to have a speaker plugged in to use the headphone and/or XLR outputs
Answer:	What kind of music are you playing? I've used this cab for small gigs before without an issue. I'd be hesitant to play it loud with a 5 string or something with dropped tuning. The cab can 'fart' a bit when stressing certain frequencies at loud volumes. It's not a terrible cab, but it's exactly what one should expect when buying a brand new 210 cab for $200. I'd say your fine for small gigs, but I tend to leave my Headliner at home when playing medium/large venues.
Question:	hi, i have a question... i need 1 cabs of 500w or 2 cabs of 250... or i can use any combination
Answer:	Straight
