Fat fingers Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi all, I'm thinking of getting a TC Electronic BH550 head with two RS410 cabs. Could I run the head through just one of the cabs at lower volume when needed? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassManGraham Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Yes that should be fine, as BH550 specs quote 550 W into 4 ohms load, and RS410 cabs are 600W at 8 ohms each. Running into one cab will give approx 5O% power output. Running both cabs will give combined load of 4 ohms and full power output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soledad Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Got a used 550 as a back-up recently, really good and the toneprints are ace. I'd say get a used one and try and find one with the 3-way footswitch (mute, print1, print2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40hz Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) I've had a BH550 for 4 years now. I've played dozens, if not hundreds of gigs and it hasn't missed a beat. Tonally it's seen off every other amp I've ever played through (a fair few highly regarded ones). It has such a clear and composed tone that I'd describe as 'Studio' tone on stage. It was loud enough for most stages at 8 ohms through one cab and absolutely incredible through two at 4ohms. Good call on the RS cabs, I've used Markbass, Gallien Krueger, Ampeg and Epifani cabs with it but it always sounded best with the 2 2x10 K-Series cabs I had (for which it was designed). Enjoy!
