AREA Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) 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....

stevie Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 These get great write-ups on the German bass forums. Strange they haven't made it across the channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's always useful to have an adjustable backside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyder Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) These look very interesting. Has anyone else had experience of this brand. Pricing looks very good as well. http://fmc-audio.jimdo.com/startseite/english/ Edited February 11, 2016 by spyder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AREA Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) [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] Edited February 12, 2016 by AREA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AREA Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 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".

AREA Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 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...
