Saw this on MF, very curious. Says it has a speakon and 1/4".
Does anyone happen to know if the crossover will make use of the 700rb's biamp feature ? I'm guessing not, since they're geared to be used more with MB head ?

Based on the sound and portability of the combo, this is intriguing. Especially at that price ! Hopefully the availability comes through on time !

Would be an opportunity to use different heads with a full sounding cab, like the 700rb that I've been wanting to get !

I'm still a bit confused with this cab. MF described it as a perfect compliment to MB heads or the MB210 combo, but if it only comes in 4 ohm, then it wouldn't work with the combo , only 8 ohm ext cab.
It would pair well with MB500 head at 4 ohms, but I was tthinking it could be cool to be able to have two cabs and use one or two of them at times, but would need to be 8 ohm to make that work ?
Sounds really neat though ...thinking about that "preorder"type thing.....hmmm

I like the specs of this ... a great pairing for my 700RB series I head. And 380 watts into a 212 handles 99% of everything I do. Could also push it with my Hartke LH500.

I'm interested!

Cheers,
Liam

The MBE cabinets are not HMS compatible, and are intended to match up with the MB heads and combos. The series has evolved since its first introduction mainly due to comments on TB. The line up now is as follows:

212MBE, 2x12” Neo, 600W, 4 or 8 Ohms, 34 lbs
210MBE, 2x10” Neo, 400W, 8 Ohms, 30 lbs
115MBE, 1x15” Neo, 400W, 8 Ohms, 29 lbs
410MBE, 4x10" Neo, 800W, 4 or 8 Ohms, Weight TBT but light!

All feature light weight void free plywood construction with ample internal bracing, heavy Tolex covering, aluminum grills and Piezo tweeters with switch. This series is a very high quality no frills product designed to provide very high performance at minimum cost.

How does the 115 cab do with the MB210? The idea of the 115 appeals to me more than the 210. Are the dimensions the same?

thanks,

Enjoying your product very much, a great value. :hyper:

One question about the 212MBE vs the 212MB...I Know that the 212MB is a front-ported cab...I can't seem to find(in writing) if the 212MBE is ported or not. Since it's a really small cabinet, I'm just concerned with low end response. I like my bass big & full :)

I'm about to pull the trigger on one(or 2!) of these cabs, and now I don't know which one i want!
