OMP passive 1x12 PA speakers 200w pair - collection only from Brentford

[Leftypete]

Free to a good home - a pair of 1990’s “OMP Linnet” PA speakers .

 

These were sold by BK Electronics (who also had made the well-known OMP Mosfet modules for many years ) – see attached advert from 1992.

 

With 12” LF driver & Piezo tweeter.  Rated at 200W RMS each (the 200dB rating stated in the advert may be a tiny bit optimistic though ...), 8 Ohm , 45Hz -20KHz. Connections are ¼” jack socket (plus 3-pin XLRs as was fashionable at the time ! ) .

510mm tall x 380 wide x 305 deep (20”x 15” x12”) , about 16KG each . Top hat for mounting on a 35mm speaker pole.

 

I have had these for about 20 years - they were briefly used for general purpose PA vocal duties in a band (for which they were fine) , since when they have sat unused at home. I have tested them at low volume and they still seem to work as expected (including the tweeters) though I’m not in a position to try them at higher volume at home.  Cosmetically they are in good condition with a few scuffs here and there but nothing major.

 

Obviously technology had moved on and they are a bit old-fashioned these days (or perhaps they are now considered retro & vintage !? ) but they should still do the job for vocals and such in a rehearsal room or small gigs.

 

Free but you will need to collect them in person from me in Brentford TW8 (about 1 mile from M4 J2) - I will definitely not deliver or post them !

 

Any questions please message me.

 

Cheers, Pete
