Manufacturer's Description for Ampeg SVT810E Bass Cabinet (2x400 Watts, 8x10 in.)

The world-renowned Classic Series Cabinets are synonymous with bass enclosures and the sound they are expected to produce. And because we know that players have different tastes, we make the configuration YOU are looking for. From the undeniable tone of the SVT-810E to the unexpected low end of the extended range SVT-410HLF, Ampeg enclosures have set the standard for decades. All enclosures feature dual Neutrik Speak-On and 1/4 in. input/output jacks. Cabinets using high frequency horns contain a variable level attenuator. To prevent overpowering and damaging the horns, a resistive bulb is wired in series with the horn for protection.

A Workhorse of a Different Color

The Ampeg SVT-810E is the speaker enclosure people mean when they say SVT speaker cabinet. It’s all about tone. Other than the color scheme, it is identical to the original SVT-810.

Why eight 10” speakers? We learned early on that 10” speakers work much more efficiently than fifteens or eighteens—and if you put eight 10” speakers together, you can move a huge column of air. You’d need five 18” or six 15” speakers to move as much air as the SVT-810E. And they simply wouldn’t be able to respond to transient peaks as quickly as our tens.

The Ampeg SVT-810E is still manufactured using the same design dating all the way back to 1969. The Infinite Baffle design of these sealed enclosures produces vast amounts of tightly focused bass. That’s why you’ll find the SVT-810E on stage with such artists as Chris Squire (Yes), Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), John McVie (Fleetwood Mac), and far too many others to list here. In the world of high performance bass cabs, the Ampeg SVT-810E stands tall and proud. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Ampeg products.

Ampeg SVT-810E Bass Cab Customer Review
Sound: After getting this Boom Box I asked myself why didn't I buy it sooner. The presence is so full sounding, and the response is so immediate. This Cabinet will make your sound and playing better. My Bandmates diffentially gave me smiles and nods of approval after playing just a few songs with it on the first day. Feature: The reason I avoided getting one was the weight and size of it. I found it easy to handle and not as heavy to lift as other Cabinets. Reason being, the tilt back design with the high clearence wheels. Skid rails on the back if you encounter a few steps. This thing handles just like your rolling around a two wheeled Dolly. Lifting takes two people which is good. I always had to lift my 4 10 Cabinet alone and it's heavy by yourself. With the 8 10 someones always offering to help me lift it. Ease of Use: The SVT IV PRO allows me a two different ways to connect the Cabinet. Mono-bridge or Bi-amping between the 10's. I found I always went back to running Mono-bridge Mode. Having that additional Power seemed to work better for us in the mix. The soundman is combining the Backline and the Front sound together, I couldn't do that before with my Cabinets. Small or large Venues this Cabinet has sounded great. Quality: I'd love to buy another one. The drummer said, one on each side of him would be just awesome. It's built like a Abrams Tank. It's Big and Fast, and delivers a Powerful Punch, very imtimidating. Value: Anything good always has a good price. But, the value of being a bigger asset to the Band, is priceless. Manufacturer Support: Sad but true, when it was delivered it had a ding in the handle. It didn't happen in shipping, it was assembled that way. Arrangements where made and it was replaced. Overall: Years of gear changing has come to an end. The SVT IV PRO with the SVT 810E works for me.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Here Is Your Dream Cabinet!"
Sound: I've only played my SVT-CL head out of Ampeg cabs, and the 8x10 is simply the best match for the amp. It gives me my dream sound by handling the highs quite nicely wihtout sounding too sharp or caustic; the mids help my bass cut through my guitarist's screaming Marshall; and the lows are enough to handle the heaviest hitting drummers on the planet. Oh, those lows! Turn up as LOUD as you want and you will notice the lows are still clear--not soggy and undefined. This amp will handle whatever you've got, and it doesn't stop delivering. It's sound is BIG, BIG, BIG--you will not get lost amid the blissful chaos you and your bandmates create. They will know you're there--but the 4x10s and even the 6x10s won't let you make that claim. It also records quite well. You can simply put a mic in front of a single speaker and be amazed when you hear the recording. And you will know that you now sound like you think you should sound. With the SVT-CL, this cab reproduces that sound you dream about in your head. A wet dream come true! Feature: Simple. The grab-bar/handle-thing on the back, along with the built-in coasters, make for easy maneuverability. Ease of Use: Never met an Ampeg cab with a sound that sucked. As I mentioned, a big head like the SVT-CL may be too much for smaller cabs to handle; but this cab is designed to handle Ampeg's best heads. Plug in and play. Quality: We keep it in the studio, so the only time we'll ever move it is for gigs. It's solid, heavy, and durable. Value: Worth the price. The top-of-the-line 410 costs just as much as the 810. The 610 is fifty bucks cheaper. Go with the big daddy of them all and be happy. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with support, yet. The Wow Factor: It ain't ugly. Would it appear more appealing dressed in a metal grille with fuzzy carpet instead of cloth and tolex? LISTEN to it and then ask yourself if you care what it looks like. Overall: I have no need for another rig. To me, this one fits my playing perfectly, and it gives me and the band the sound that now plays a big role in defining us. It growls, it roars, it cannot be beat. If it were stolen (how can you lose something this big?), I would die. There's no way I'd play out of a different cabinet.
