JMT3781 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 if you like it with 500 watts from the LM3, try putting 1000 watts up it... crikey!

Platypus Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Mark at BassDirect has all the details up: Bergantino AE212 - £829 Based on the hugely successful AE112 this vertically oriented cabinet is designed as a one cab solution for those looking for a big sound with low weight. With sparkling high end details, plenty of mid-range energy and deep low end the AE212 will deliver a huge sound in a relatively compact and easy to move cabinet. Utilising Bergantino own custom Neodymium drivers you can expect to achieve effortless and controlled sound at any volume. We suggest using a minimum of a 500w at 4ohm amp but this cab will thrive on amps of up to 1000w. Stack a second cab on top for a really massive sound where appropriate. New for 2010! Model AE212 specifications: •2 x 12" Custom Neodymium drivers with 7 oz magnets •high intelligibility 1" tweeter •custom phase - coherent crossover with tweeter level control •power handling - 600 watts rms •frequency response: 40hz - 18khz •sensitivity: tbc db @ 1 Watt/1 meter •2 x 1/4" and 2 x neutrik connectors •impedance: 4ohms •dimensions: 31"H x 18-1/2"W x 15"D •78cm x 47cm x 38cm •weight: 55lbs/25 Kgs •This cab works well with high power amplifiers from 500 - 1000w at 4Ω Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttt, the weight/size factor for me is making me second think it. I wanted this to be super portable and lighter than my RS212 and it isnt....damn! I suppose it will sound awesome though. Back to the drawing board. MBass NY122 4 Ohm might be the answer. Edited June 6, 2010 by Musicman20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Looks like a LOVELY cab, but my days of using cabs that go no higher than waist-height are over... until I get a pair of ears grafted onto my backside. AE210s are still VERY tempting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, I've tried all sorts of bits and bobs up against Berg cabs, and Berg is just a little bit better IMO to my ears than all the rest. It is true that you need to pick the right Berg cab for you and your personal tone/situation, thats why there is more than one cab in the range, but it will sound better than the equivalent competition in almost all cases. I await the flood of responses to the contrary.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to hear the cab, however I am sure it will be the biz as all of these cabs are all road tested through some shops and users before they get the okay. Stocks should be arriving at the end of the Summer and will be in 4Ω only. We toyed with using a "kick up" stand but this seemed a little unstable, however those who use these cabs are aware of how "transparent" the sound is even off axis so intelligibility is always first class.

Musicman20 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm guessing something with a 15... Either that or a start to a new range. Or, possibly another type of 2x12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weight saving is cool, but the tone is the most important part and the HS210 are so compact that I don't think that the weight saving is so important, I always try to sell the cabs on their tone.
