Baer Amplification Megathread!

I like the Valkyrie with the ML-112s. :smug:

Me too.

And the Valkyrie with an ML112 and ML212

I was curious if anyone had any updates on the new line of horned cabs introduced at last year's NAMM? I haven't heard much for the past several months.

All the parts for the new cabs are on order and we should have these out in about 4 months. Sorry, but 2018 was a rough one trying to keep up with the amp business after surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and torn bicep tendon. Really happy with what we have now and am just waiting for parts to come in and time to open up on the production floor.

IMO, the ML cabs are usually going to flavor amps that have a reasonably flat preamp, or at least ones that don't have big bumps in the top end. Some amps can have a pretty dramatic baked in EQ bumps in the top end and that can sometimes combine with the natural peaks in the mid driver to create a bit too much of a good thing that can be hard to tame with EQ.

I'm a bit surprised by McFarlin adding the Ampeg PF-50T to his list of amps that don't work well with the ML112's. I thought this pairing was pretty killer myself, but of course this is very subjective and greatly influenced by things like musical styles, instrument choices and plain old personal preference.

Did you mean "flavor" or "favor" amps that have a reasonably flat preamp? I have a Quilter Bass Block 800 I'm trying to find a cab to match with. Would that be an amp you would think matches well?
 
Wow! What a GREAT photo! The shade of your Sadowsky and the figure through the translucent finish is sublime! And those Baer Cabs are slammin'!

A bit much to carry around, if you dare, but holy moly WOW! 3 Baer cabs sound fabulous with the Magellan 800 or the Fender 100T! Add a Sadowsky and you're gonna stand out!
Glad I am a hobbyist at this point!
 
Roger, is there any news or timeline for any new upcoming Baer cabinets?
Hey G,
We did a last minute driver change on the woofer and had to go back in and do some re-design on the crossover. Just waiting for everything to show up and for availability on the production floor. The 112 should be available in a couple months, with the 212 shortly thereafter. We are currently working on a 210 for the new line as well. No real sound clips yet, but I did shoot a few seconds of video when I had the cab out at Nordstrand's shop a month ago. Just an iPhone video and the Roscoe Mo is playing just got a new set of strings, so the top end has a lot of zing, but you get the idea.

Roger, do you have the weight and dimensions of your new 112 yet?
