Mesa Boogie Standard PowerHouse 4X12

4 x 12 cabinet, everything was said about config of the beast.
It is given to 1200W RMS into 4 ohms.
The tweeter is adjustable good point as a crossover.
I use a Mark bass head (first version chrome) 500W into 4 ohms mono.
Although lighter than the config 8x10 Ampeg, Gallien, Hugh n 'Kettner, Trace Elliot ...
More practice, poigns up onto the cot, and well below solid two good wheels, and what I really like are the two rails derrieres very practical to drag your dish in a cabinet car without damaging the faux leather ..
A good cover but came not cover against rain !!!!
I put 9 because of the cover.

SONORITS

On spectrum selecting 12 "trotted me for a while; 1x15 round but lacks a bit of punch, and bright 4x10, quite low but failing prcis The roundness.
4X12 This sounds very flat eq law, MID very low in the early and absent discrete sub ..aigus. Good dynamics Hp same low volume remains clear no draft ... attention to the high volume because adcoiffe severe ear, the sound does not buckle and through anything !!
Push a little eq to find the sound of a jazz bass 76 well round swells a bit extreme 40Hz and 6 8kg ... it sounds big bass hold good, acute do not break.
Chunky training can be fun to try a lot of sound, always going on; Funk sound nervous to walk or serious prennet all their magnitude and held ... rock was going pretty well, it moves with jazz, metal c ok, reggae was the fact.
What may drouter at the beginning was that there was always one in his mid Mid presents high color that is what a lot of gigs after me that we must deal with rather than the erase .In fact must be from the sound of the cabinet to its sound, but do not plug and try to put his usual corrections, does not work for a baffle. It gives the bass a presence standard group. And the most amazing is that 4m, 6m, 8m one always hears the sound is.

NOTICE GLOBAL

After two months in the big scenes formula I can say I've never had a sound like that ... I had a Ampeg 4X10 AND 1X15 and head 800w Eden TOUR and I do not regret it at all. .au beginning some fear the cabinet color is not quite neutral but once group going great.
I find it much more accurate than my previous config, much larger present more dynamic, better performance in severe whatsoever.
AT finger slap sounds serious adpotte (better put a small limit to not completely lose the use of his ears), the power is to go and the margin is standard.
I hesitated with the Ampeg 8x10 (although heavier and less powerful) it sounds rounder eq flat but the sound volume lev twists and not cash, the bass tend to have less 3m held .. you do not have the same hold its especially serious.
I do not regret my purchase on the contrary, I appreciate from concert to concert.
Musically

Mesa Engineering is a cabinet with 4 HP 12 "plus tweeter with three adjustable frequencies (3k, 4k, 5k) + fuse + volume control.
The spectrum is huge, the sound is neutral without being cold.


- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
The config 4x12 "vertical gives more punch than a 2x15" and more bass than a 4x10 "is in my opinion the best config.

- For what purpose?
I rock and metal but this cabinet is happening everywhere.

- What amp / What configuration?
I use it with a head Mesa / Boogie Basis M-2000 plugged directly into the baffle

SOUNDS

- The frequency curve is sufficiently neutral?

I think I have the ear fairly neutral to say yes, and even that is close to the stereo.

- The stereo image is good?
mono speaker, but the distribution of the sound is awesome!

- The sound is clear and precise on the spectrum?
A BIG YES

- The dynamics are respected? ...
Of course!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

Soon, 1 month.

- What is so special that you like most and least?

Plus: The incredible build quality, handles transport across the corners (it's too TOP), weight 60kgs 50kgs cons for my 4x10 Mesa / Boogie, sound, the mouth of course!

The least: The breath of the tweeter, the protective cover Mesa too thin.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes, Ampeg, Trace Elliot, SWR, Hartke, MarkBass, GallienKrueger, GenzBenz.
We are far from all that stuff home with Mesa

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Good quality / price ratio because the speaker can withstand WWIII without a problem.
And compared to Glokenlang offering the 4x10 "at the same price!

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Of course, so I stay at home and especially for my stuff MESA amplification.

Rare are pregnant at 12.
I was looking for a speaker worthy of the name, to find my sound, and use my head Hiwatt Custom Slave 200 AP 77 '

SOUNDS

The spectrum is restored. I was surprised by the balance of this speaker. Very well defined bass without surplus and does not drool, and acute will not pierce the eardrums.

Pressure Acoustic impressive, whatever the volume of the amp, and a very good diffusion

OVERALL OPINION

Tested only this week.

Only the acute motor breath .... I think a small plate or another system on the "fuse" of acute motor because the drag can damage it.

I fell crazy in this place. Yet I was left to take a 4x10 SWR Goliath 4, but for me, only the HP 12 "can restore very large bass and punch.

The price is worth the quality.

I have one, is already well
