Hi,
is here anybody who has experience with both mentioned combos? Maybe even just when trying in a shop..
I have a question about actual loudness/acoustic power of these two. I learned through the years that the percieved loudness has more to do with the amount of speaker surface than the wattage. Both combos seem to use the same internal driver with the difference (if the manuals are correct), that the Pro version has 8 Ohm variation and the non-Pro has 4 Ohm one.
So, I am wondering whether without any extension cabinet they are basically almost the same in terms of power. I mean when plugging in the combo on its own.
The BC112 has 300W amp and 4Ohm speaker, so it is outputing those 300W directly, while BC112 Pro has 500W amp, so in 8Ohm speaker it is outputing maybe something like 300W. Is it close to truth? 🙂
What I don't understand - how is it possible that the BC112 has 4Ohm internal speaker and still works with external cabinets - I mean when connected in parallel, the final impedance would always be under 4Ohms which doesn't make sense..
But I would like to use the combo on its own anyway (don't have a car or even driving licence) - so basically the question is how much louder (if even louder) the Pro version is when used without extension cabinet.. I don't really mind the price difference, if there is noticably higher headroom, but otherwise I would like to save few bucks and some weight to carry..
Thanks for your input.
Regards, Jakub
