Aguilar Unveils the DB 700 Hybrid Bass Amp with 700 Watts of Power
Aguilar has announced the DB 700 Hybrid Bass Amplifier, which pairs the tube-driven tone of its DB 751 amp with a Class D power section. The new unit was engineered to bring “studio-quality, high-headroom performance to any stage or recording studio environment,” the company writes.
“Driven by two 12AX7 preamp tubes, the front end uses the architecture of the DB 751 to preserve its signature harmonic richness and tonal detail,” Aguilar explains. “The amplifier delivers 700 watts of continuous power into a minimum load of 2.67 ohms via dual Speakon speaker outputs, providing immense clean headroom and compatibility with a wide range of cabinet configurations.”
The DB 700’s front panel has a three-band EQ with Bright and Deep switches for broader tone shaping. Input Gain and Master volume controls round out the front features. Its rear has a USB-C port for loading cabinet impulse responses via the Aguilar Cabinet Suite. Aguilar also fits the DB 700 with dual XLR outputs with ground lift and pre/post EQ switching, an effects loop, a tuner output, an auxiliary input, and a headphone output with its own mix control.
The 700-watt DB 700 weighs 11.2 pounds and has a fully rack-mountable chassis. It is available now for $2,499.99.
