hamfist Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 A bit excited ... just won a Schroeder 410L on ebay. It's one of the really lightweight 4x10's (plus tweeter) with the angled baffle. Anyone had any experience of these ? I'll be using an Ashdown ABM500 and a GK 700RB II with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'd love one of these cabs, congrats on winning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Nice one, my 21012L has the angled 12, and the cab is great. Really powerful, and the volume seems the same no matter where you stand - aside from behind it, that is. Sounds great with my GK MB500. One thing to bear in mind though - don`t be disappointed in the sound if you use it at home at regular tv volumes. Schroeders don`t - or at least mine doesn`t - sound very good at these volumes. But, at rehearsal/gig volumes - that`s when they come alive. Mine is the best cab I`ve ever had, and I`ve had Ampegs, Marshalls, Edens, and a Barefaced Compact/Midget setup, which I rated very highly indeed, but imo, the Schroeder just edges it.

dave_bass5 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Agree with Lozz, Schroeders (or at least mine) seem to have two sounds. The close up/standing in front almost bland sound, and the huge/loud room shaking 20ft in front sound. i was quite disappointed in my 1210R when i first got it. Very middy and not much low end, then i went for a wander out front at a soundcheck one night. Almost a completely different tone. Slightly less mids but more low end and to my ears a warmer more balanced tone. Still not a conventional tone to my ear's but ive never struggled to be heard using just one cab.

DirkThrust Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) [i]I had a 410L which I used with an ABM500. Great sound and loud enough to make the walls shake. It is truly a one cab solution, you'll never need to pair it with anything else.[/i] [i]I wouldn't bother too much about the Schroeder "sound". That tends to apply to the medium and small cabs like the 1210 and 1212. The big ones have more of a balanced sound. They may have a bit of a mid hump but it's not really prominent enough to become annoying at low volumes or in a sparse mix.

Protium Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have the 1210L and I'm always suprised at how loud such a small cab can go even with a "weedy" 300W amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Excellent ! Thnks to all for your experiences. From those, and what else I've read about them, it'll be right up my street ! Just got to be patient until I get it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
