200w 2x12 stereo speaker 8 ohms mono / stereo 2x100W under 16 ohms.
This is my first (good) impression on the G212 standard.
The build quality and finish are excellent. This is unexpected for a speaker of this price. The cabinet is in good thick plywood. There is even a central reinforcement inside. Which is pretty rare for a 2x12 ...
The bottom is covered with a sort of "cotton" to soften plastic. The internal wiring is in good section. As for the Tolex, even if it is not very thick, it looks good. But I think that a person making a lot of scene will suffer soon enough.
The fabric of the front is good. The front is attached with Velcro.
Otherwise, the back has found two bases with the jack mono / stereo.
Now the most important sound:
At first I said that HP is not yet Rodes. But already I have a big overview of the capabilities of this speaker. I use a Hiwatt Custom 50.
For the price, it's amazing the sound that you get to draw. The bass is firm and powerful. No parasitic vibrations. The medium is not bad and a step back but a little lack of definition and the treble is quite powerful but a bit hard.
But after running, this should be balanced.
I do not know the origin of HP, but in any case it's tough. When you see the size of the engine, it inspires confidence.
But my goal was to mount Eminence Tonks instead of the original HP. So I ordered together with the HP ...
Change is in p'tit a quarter of an hour.
With Tonks, the G212 going on in another category! The marriage is perfect with the Hiwatt:
The bass is less powerful but more defined. The medium is hot, more accurate and forward. The fever is a very fine and bright as it should.
Compared with Celestion Vintage 30 that I owned before, I much prefer that the couple Tonke Hiwatt Hiwatt / V30.
I prefer even the origins of the G212 HP V30 that with my Hiwatt ...
I also had the opportunity to play on the G212 Vintage (the one originally fitted with the V30).
it also sounds very good (except Hiwat) by sounding differently from Tonks.
Anyway, I highly recommend this speaker for any situation. It was almost as safe as my old Harley Benton G412 Vintage (with V30) while being less bulky. Originally the G212 already sounds great. With other HP is even better!
