The handles are let in into the cabinet and the sturdy gray corners are suitable to stack other EBS products on. The power amplifier is placed in a bent metal sheet and placed on the back of the cabinet. The thought behind the active cabinet is to construct a poweramp tailor-made for the type of cabinet and speaker you got to optimize the use of the different components. In the poweramp, there are a switchable peak limiter, which lowers the output when it senses distortion. With the limiter disconnected, you will have some distortion when the poweramp reaches maximum effect, but on the other hand are you able to use that maximum effect.
Power is supplied by an ordinary power cable, and the cabinet is activated by a switch on the back.
A purple light on the front indicates if the power is on or off. There are also a phono signal in and link for additional amplifiers. The crossover frequency is 4kHz. It should be mentioned that EBS manufactures a model without the tweeter for those of you who'd like to save a few dollars. The thought behind the Microbass is to be able to offer active electronics of highest quality that can be optimized for the kind of bass you use.
