Markbass Unveils CMD Little Mark IV Combo Series
Markbass is continuing its 20th anniversary celebrations by updating its CMD combo series. Each model is fitted with the company’s Little Mark IV combo amplifier, which has several new features.
That includes a new four-band EQ, a bi-band limiter, an “Old School” filter, and a mute switch. A three-way rotary switch gives a flat EQ preset, a scoop preset, and the option for an external footswitch to activate the scoop and mute.
The lineup starts with the Mini CMD 121P IV with a single 12-inch speaker plus a one-inch tweeter. The Mini CMD 151P IV bumps things up to a 15-inch driver. The CMD 102P IV and CMD Ninja 102P 500 IV are both 2×10” models, while the CMD 121H IV has a 12-inch driver with a tweeter and custom horn.
The rear panel features a balanced line out with pre/post EQ and ground lift switches, an effects loop, a tuner out, and both Speakon and 1/4-inch outputs.
