wateroftyne Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 Here's a clip from my gig last night where I used the H115, on loan from its soon-to-be owner. I LOVE this cab. So fat and authoritative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUOH8tSLa20 Quote

Quote
wateroftyne Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Got it in one! Apparently the 2x12 sounds pretty much the same as a pair of 12's, i.e. Nirvana to my ears. So, I'll have a 12 for small stuff, and a single larger cab that's still an easy lift & carry for larger stuff. Quote
wateroftyne Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Oooh.. Tommy's just posted this on his Facebook page. Looks very interesting...! [quote][color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial,]There is a new cabinet under development! It's a more portable version of the current H115. 1126-sized, and that's just enough to fit the 15" speaker and a tweeter. The port is moved to the rear side to keep the size down, and the cabinet r[/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial,]etains almost all the low end capability of the current H115.[/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Since it uses a high excursion 15" speaker this gives a very good combination of displacement (capability to move much air in the lower frequencies without "running out of steam") and high sensitivity, it will be a very good companion to amplifiers around 1000W for anyone who needs to play loud. Especially when used in a pair, for a portable and powerful 2x15 setup.[/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Here's a picture with the grille cloth off.[/font][/color] [/quote] Quote
Musicman20 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 That looks like a nice compact one cab setup for most gigs! Quote
eude Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1406287642' post='2510158'] That looks like a nice compact one cab setup for most gigs! [/quote] Indeed! One of those and a massively powerful head, say a Carvin B1000 (which has really piqued my interest of late), would be an amazingly compact, powerful and versatile setup... I would guess 2 would be overkill... Eude Quote
Musicman20 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I'm guessing they will be 8 ohms? I could of course be totally wrong! Quote
wateroftyne Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1406360904' post='2510843'] Glad they got rid of the shelved port.... [/quote] To be fair, I never noticed any chuffing with the original 15..? Quote
JTUK Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I think shelved ports are easier to build but I dislike them,...they unbalance the look of a cab. I've never minded rear-ported myself if you want to put it out of the way. I like the general look and vibe of the TKS cabs but I don't like the idea of top dollar cabs with a design compromise, IMO... Talking bass cabs here, not bins... Quote

FWIW, the new S112s have circular rear ports, too. Quote
JTUK Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I am keeping my eye on those...as an alternative to Berg 12's which I sometime use. At first, I was thinking I wanted the larger 1126 but those type of gigs are covered by others very well, so I can be thinking in terms of small and punchy S112s..maybe, as long as I can fit an amp on top as I don't have a mini/class D... Having said that...that could change as well. I could move on the Bergs and Thunderfunk for the small class D rig. It would still have to get loud tho at times. Quote

[/quote] As it happens, the chap who bought my S112 is coming across from Berg 12s,.. as did I. IME, the 1126 was more like the Berg. It's very wide - not my cup of tea personally, but others will lap it up. The S112 is sooo punchy, and the mids 'speak' wonderfully. Ask for them in horizontal configuration, and your amp will sit on top :-) Quote
wateroftyne Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/245000-ncd-tks-engineering-s212"]Well look what I got...[/url] Quote
JTUK Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Stage 1 of the process complete. Amp for this rig sorted. Next up is the cab sale. I have a gig rig to cover that... Can't decide what custom cover I want... think white looks FAB...but maybe not the most practical... I've decided I can go class D in that I have that amp option but I want the ceramic S112 with a horn..x 2. Quote
molan Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) I see snakeskin S112's on the horizon, and black S212's with metal grilles and black 1126's with cloth grilles and . . . And . . . Edited September 11, 2014 by molan Quote
