A Resounding Roar
Our new K212 bass cabinet doesn’t just look the part, it also sounds it. Behind the elegant tolex exterior you’ll find two brilliant custom-made 12″ drivers and a 1″ titanium tweeter that are sure to bring your tone to life with a quick and punchy response, crisp clarity and commanding low-end. Combine that with 8 Ohm impedance, 400W power handling and a weight of only 23 kg/50 lbs and you have a cab that’s ready to rule every stage around the world!
• Lightweight and portable design
• High-quality custom drivers
• Vintage-vibed look
The Problem
If you ever play gigs at small to mid-sized venues or at private parties, you have probably decided to only bring one bass cab sometimes. Typically one with a 4×10″ speaker configuration.
However, sound is very sentitive to direction and surface reflections… If you place a 4 x10″ cab on the floor, sound waves will bounce off the floor, which is great for getting that fat low-end impact – but the downside is that you can’t hear the details of your playing. Well, your knees can, but not your ears.
One solution is to place the cab on a chair, a rack case or similar. Now, you can hear the mid and high frequencies much better, but now the downside is lack of low-end presence. Since you elevated the cab, you loose the early reflections boucning off the floor.
