New Cab Day: FMC 1126 Neo

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

Yesterday I received my first of two Cabs from Hans Struck, The Founder and Builder of FMC Cabs. We've had some kind Mail Contact before. I've told Hans what was my Idea for the Cab and he gave me some Recommendations.
I don't like those harsh Superhighs, and so this Cab has no Tweeter/Horn, but an additional 6" Speaker, wich goes up to 10KHz. The 12" Speaker is a Neodym Speaker by Sica and it handles 300W/8Ohm.
99db 1W@1m, Weihgt of the Cab is 14Kg

The 6" Speaker is adjustable from the Side (wich I like) and on the Backside, on the Input Panel with two Speakon Inputs, is an additional Switch for the 6" "Lo - Off - Hi" . Switched to "Lo" you got a little "Midboost at 1Khz, Off is Off and switched to Hi the Cab is linear up to 10KHz

Today in the Evening, I will have the first Rehearsal with this Cab. The Plan is to have a second One for my other Band and to put them together, maybe for bigger Venues (but we also do In Ear)

Some Pics....

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Morning,[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]First Rehearsal with the new Cab was great. [/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Plugged in and connected to my Gallien Krueger 700RB-II it was audibly quieter as my 2x12". No Wonder. Half the Size Cab and 1x12" instead of 2x12"[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]GK 700RB-II was set --> Gain 12:00h, Contour 08:30h EQ, Neutral, only Low Mids slightly boostet, Boost and Woofer on 09:00h. Last both I have on 11:00 now. The Amp delivers 320W/8Ohm, The Cab can handle 300W/8Ohm, Fits perfect. Bass was my Lakland 55-02.[/color][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]The 6" Level Control was set to 4 and on the Backside Panel switched to "Lo",with a slightly Midboost @ 1Khz.[/color][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]I simply love this Cab and I am very impressed. So superdefined. Nothing muddy, nothing boomy. Fits into the Mix just perfect!!! Every Note stands like a "1" and was so hearable. Let's say, I am very happy with this Cab and for sure I will get a second One in April, when I celebrate my Birthday and I am pretty sure, that two of them can nearly handle every Stage Situation.[/color][/font][/size]
[color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hans, from FMC told me, the Cab needs 10-20 Hours of playing before it gets its final Dynamic and Homogeneity. Can't imagine that it gets even better... :)[/font][/color]

Here is a 12" Cab Shootout. With a Glockenklang, Vanderkley, Bergantino and a FMC Cab. But this One has a normal Speaker and a Tweeter. Mine has a Neodym Speaker and the 6".

Well, two Days ago, I got my second FMC Cab. But I didn't go for another 1126, then for a 1156 Neo EX, wich means 15" & 6" with extend Range up to 10Khz. 300W/8Ohms, 99db, 17 Kg. I like the Fact that I can use them alone ( the 1156 for my Coverband and the 1126 for my Acoustic Project, maybe) but together....Holy Moly..mighty, mighty, clear, fundamental, warm and always well defined. I have to say, that I am very pleased.


Here is the 1156 (btw: 53x53x40cm)



and here a quick handyshot, both together...
