Small enough to go virtually anywhere and equipped to operate without an instrument cable or wall outlet, the Ashdown Studio 4 turns the essentials of a bass practice rig into a remarkably portable 3W combo. A 4" Ashdown speaker provides the compact platform for personal practice, while Gain and Volume controls pair with 3-band EQ for shaping everything from low-end weight to midrange presence and treble definition. An internal rechargeable battery supports playing away from a power source, complemented by built-in 2.4GHz wireless capability for cable-free instrument connection with a compatible transmitter. Line In makes it easy to practice along with backing tracks, while a headphone output provides a private listening option and an 8-ohm speaker output supports connection to a compatible external cabinet. Weighing just 2.2 lb., the Studio 4 is built for practice wherever inspiration strikes.
4" Speaker for Focused Bass Practice
The Studio 4 delivers 3W through a compact 4" Ashdown speaker, providing a straightforward platform for everyday bass practice without requiring the space or output of a conventional combo. Gain and Volume controls let players balance input level and overall output, while dedicated Bass, Middle and Treble controls provide 3-band EQ for adjusting low-end weight, midrange presence and high-frequency detail to suit different instruments and playing styles. Measuring just 6.3" wide, 6.3" high and 3.9" deep, the Studio 4 fits comfortably into tight practice spaces, and its 2.2-lb. weight makes it easy to carry between rooms, rehearsals, lessons or travel destinations.
Rechargeable Power and 2.4GHz Wireless for Cable-Free Playing
An internal rechargeable battery gives the Studio 4 the freedom to operate away from a wall outlet, making it particularly useful for travel, backstage warmups and impromptu practice sessions. USB-C charging provides a convenient way to replenish the internal battery from a compatible 5V/1A power source, while a dedicated 9V center-negative DC input supports conventional powered operation when an outlet is available. Built-in 2.4GHz wireless capability further simplifies the setup by supporting cable-free instrument connection with a compatible transmitter, with dedicated rear-panel controls for activating the wireless system and pairing a connection.
Line In, Headphones and Speaker Out Expand Practice Options
The Studio 4 adds practical connectivity for adapting its compact format to different practice setups. A 1/8" Line In accepts audio from a compatible source, making it easy to play along with songs, backing tracks and lesson material, while the 1/8" headphone output provides a convenient option for private practice. A dedicated 1/4" 8-ohm speaker output also supports connection to a compatible external cabinet when a different speaker setup is preferred. Together with rechargeable power, wireless capability and onboard tone shaping, these connections make the Ashdown Studio 4 a flexible personal bass amp for home practice, travel and playing on the go.
