Just like the other amps in our 58R range, the LMK 58R amp new design features all the connections and controls on the front panel leaving only the speaker outs and AC power socket on the rear panel, offering optimal ergonomics and making everything more practical. All in an high build quality and ultralight new chassis for a super portable package that weights only 2 Kg/4.41 lbs.

KEY POINTS

TWO CHANNEL, TWO EQS, FLAT/SCOOPED SWITCH
The LMK 58R is one of the most versatile Markbass heads, and the ideal choice for bassists who use two instruments and need different controls for each one, or use each channel to get different sounds from one bass. The amp is perfect to magnify your bass along with an auxiliary input such as a drum machine or sequencer with complete control of each input. Teachers can use one input for themselves and one for their student. Each channel has separate gain control and a 4-band EQ with FLAT/SCOOPED switch preset.

NEW HEAD ERGONOMIC AND PRATICALDESIGN
The new LMK 58R amp head design features all the connections and controls on the front panel leaving only the speaker outs and AC power socket on the rear panel, offering optimal ergonomics and making everything more practical.

BI-BAND LIMITER
Our new bi-band limiter responds faster and more dynamically to your playing than traditional limiters do, and lets your high end “breathe” more, for a more natural sound. It makes our amp heads the best choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, punchy attack at high volumes.

FSW FOR CH1 / CH2/ MIX
With an optional dual footswitch (FSW) you can remotely turn on or off each channel, or mix them together.

MPT - Mark Proprietary Technology
Many other bass amps on the market use power amps that are not specifically designed for bass. At Markbass, Marco De Virgiliis invested heavily in R&D to develop proprietary power amp technology in-house. Our MPT power amp was built from the ground up to respect and elevate the inherent tone of your instrument.

ECO-FRIENDLY
It's time to think about the future; not just focusing on the product but also on the natural environment that surrounds it.
