I've heard nothing but raves about TecAmp's recent line. Their 1x10 cab, for example, is supposed to be incredible. I'm definitely intrigued, but as of yet I haven't had a chance to try a TecAmp for myself.

 

[Shiveringbass]

I'm also quite intrigated by the Tecamp S-212.

2 12" speakers verticaly lined, very small foot print (44cm x 41 cm) and very light 18,5kg/41lbs.


And that little guy delivers 600W at 101db SPL and into 4 ohms.


It smells good.

The older ones are at least as good as the new ones, so if you can get a used one, go for it.

i use tech-soundsystems and now tecamp gear for years. they build very good equipment. i especially like their cabinets. the 212 plays in the same league as the glockenklang double. very impressive for a 2x12 cabinet. if you find one for a good price then don´t hasitate.

btw: have you guys heard of their new puma-amps? they sound incredible and deliver 1000watts at 2,8kg (~5pounds).

They're awesome. I just wish they'd sell just the preamp, so you could do your own poweramp with a Powersoft Digimod 1500 module (for 300+ Euros) or make your cabs active. All their lightweight amps use Digimod modules anyway, so you might save some money that way.

Tecamp has two 212", the S (small) series and the M (medium) series.

Which one do you compare to the Double from Glock ?

The double was something I considered since I'm already a Glock user but the S212 looks so easy to transport.

i refer to the medium-size cabinet. i have not yet heard the s-size cab yet but i am quite sure it will sound as good as the m-size dab but with a little less deep-end.

I have a TechBassLine set up. That was what he ( Thomas, the owner) called the company before he changed the name to TechSoundSystem. My set up consists of two 2-12 cabs and the PepMan preamp. It's one of the most Hi-Fi sounding things I've ever played through! I actually heard it at The NAMM show from a distance and "followed my nose/ears" to the source of the amazing sound I was hearing. I ended up signing on as an endorsor but the company wasn't very motivated or equipted to set up a real distribution network in the US so the line never took off.

I keep going round and round about selling my rig. I've used it probably a grand total of 20 times live because right after I picked it up, I started playing heavier music and have never really gone back to a style where I would need the level of clarity that this brand can achive.

I've heard and read very good things about tec-amp amps.
I'd surely like to own this [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I found a distributor at about an hour drive from home so I may be able to listen to a S210 and a M212 in the coming weeks. Unfortunatly, the S212 is not in stock.

If it happens, I'll try to bring my Glock head and Quattro to compare.

That S212 is realy interesting on the paper. It's just a bit disapointing that the look and design has changed.

The new design (Tecamp) is realy less apealing to me... and my wife.

I'm not a fan. Those I played sounded blurry in lower frequencies (especially the B), something not expected from an expensive 4x10.
I don't know if it is normal of if I stumbled on sub-par models but it didn't encourage me into buying one.

 

[Shiveringbass]

Salut Jazz ad,


Was it a Tecamp 4x10" or a Tech soundsystems ?

Anyway I'm interested into the 12" speakers. The 4x10" dispite it is very light 25kg/55lbs is realy too big.

Regards

 

[Jazz Ad]

Both were of the older series. The Cat or something like that.
One of them belonged to the french importer so I think he'd have noticed if something was wrong.

 

[Shiveringbass]

If you speak of Laurent, his setup is a Black cat head with a 4x10".

It seems that there is a new French oporter, Rock import which is in the north.

Hi everyone

i'd be very intrigued to hear any opinions on the TecAmp M212 - and also how it compares to the Genz NeoX 212, etc...

 

[caligula]

I did an a/b between the Tecamp 2x12 Neo a Hevos Power Set (1x15 & 2x10) and the Epi 2x12 Neo.
The Hevos Power Set has very strong and biiiig lows but lacks a bit definition (IMO).
The Tec 2x12 and the Epi 2x12 were a bit less full in the deep lows but had (both of them) great low mids, punchy and fast. The Epi was slightly fuller and more balanced than the Tec, which, on the other hand, had great mids that - I'm sure - will cut in the mix very well. Plus, the weight of the Tec and the Epi is a big pro. Haven't had the chance to play the Tec on a gig, but it's definitely a great sounding cab.

 

[Gintaras]

I had the 2x12 and it is one of those things I wish I would not have gotten rid of!!! Great sound...very punchy and great mids.

 

[Shiveringbass]

Nobody tryed the small 212 (S212) ?
