Powerful neo cab recommendations

  • spencer.b changed the title to Powerful neo cab recommendations

Neo cabs aren't necessarily lighter. For instance, one of the most common tens is the Eminence Beta 10. It weighs 3.1 kg. The neo Deltalite II 2510 weighs 2.1 kg. In a 410 the driver weight difference is only 4 kg. Neos are quite a bit lighter when you're talking about premium drivers, but most bass cabs don't use premium drivers. It's a different story with the cab material. A 120 mm x 240mm sheet of 18mm Italian Poplar weighs 21 kg, the same size of MDF in 15mm thickness weighs twice that. You have to look at the weight of the finished cab, not just the driver magnet material.

I love my Barefaced Super Twin.

 

18kg, wheels, 1200W handling, 4ohms.

 

It’s ace.

 

 

Or 17kg with cloth grille rather than metal. I looked at a few one-cab solutions and the Super Twin came out on top.

Hmmm I had a retro 210 and found it a bit indistinct , lacking punch , I'll check out the super twin though, voiced quite differently to the retro range?

Yes, the 10" range are warmer/softer sounding, whereas the 12" range are much cleaner/flatter sounding.

Looks great but not sure there's any in the UK at the moment?

They're saying that they will hit the dealers worldwide in September.

 

I'm going to wait, but I won't be holding my breath in the meantime.

They are very different.

 

I have a One10 as well (and used to gig a pair of them).

The One series are more trad / vintage sounding than the 12XN range.

 

The 12XN stuff is more mid pushed / punchy, but not nasal like some can get.

I don't think they've even set the prices yet! I keep asking them on all their social media but never get an answer.

When they do, be prepared to be overjoyed, or deflated. It'll be one or the other.

 

Fortunately, Promenade Music stock a lot of their stuff and it's 15 minutes walk from me, so I'll be there as soon as they have them in regardless.
