funkle Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Anyone had a go of these? http://www.waynejonesaudio.com A powered 2x10 and 1x10 cab series from Australia. I remember Bass Player raving about the cabs last year, and I see one Talkbass contributor who has churned through a lot of high end cabs has bought one. I'm intrigued - but the website makes no mention of SPL anywhere. The 1x10 is 40 lbs and the 2x10 is 66 lbs, somewhat belying the term they use of 'lightweight'. He builds in casters and a foldaway handle into both types of cabinet though. Two 2x10 and the preamp would run you $5700 USD or so, at a bargain price direct from the manufacturer!!!!

Kev Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 The prices of those cabs are insane, even the passive 1x10 is $1200! Judging by how many times they mention the brand, they seem to be trying to be the Fodera of bass speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkle Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 lol None taken. I'm a bit taken aback at the use of the term 'lightweight' and the price!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I have emailed the manufacturer for more info, as I am intrigued, despite the price... He states the minimum broadband SPL @ 1w/1m for all cabs on the website is 98 db. I find it a little confusing to refer to 'all cabs', so have emailed back, but if he effectively makes a powered 1x10" with the SPL output of a good 1x12", I'm impressed at this engineering...
