Gallien Krueger GK Neo212-II Bass Cabinet

OK, you`re a bass player and you want to move some air up onstage. Let`s talk about this "moving air" concept. You know that larger speakers (fifteens, for instance) move more air than smaller ones - that`s basic physics. You probably also know that smaller speakers (say, tens) - in quantity - can also move air efficiently. Now, here`s where it gets tricky. Larger woofers don`t articulate your notes as well as smaller ones. (You can see where this is going, can`t you?) The problem is that you aren`t playing stadiums, and don`t need (or have room for) a coffin-sized bass cab requiring three beefy roadies to lift.

We`ll go out on a limb here and suggest that you might well be a candidate for twelves. Two 12" woofers, that is, augmented with a high-frequency horn - all loaded inside a compact feather-weight enclosure you stand a good chance of fitting in a car. We`re talking about the Gallien-Krueger Neo 212-II bass cabinet.

When it comes to bass cabs, GK knows what they`re doing (they`ve been at it for a while). They`ve fitted the Neo 212-II with two 12" Paragon cast-frame neodymium woofers, and a secret weapon: their horn bi-amp system. Running either bi-amped or full-range, this great-sounding enclosure puts out solid, tight low end and articulated mids and highs. And with a max SPL of 129dB, the Neo 212-II has some serious venue-filling capabilities.

Build quality is GK-tough. Custom-interlocking corners and lightweight poplar construction keep the weight low and roadworthiness high. Neo series cabinets incorporate special bracing to eliminate standing waves while providing rock-solid structural support to reduce cabinet resonance - giving your sound definition, projection, and presence. If the Gallien-Krueger Neo 212-II bass cabinet seems like a smart choice, that`s what we were thinking, too.
