My Bergantino NV 412 is 108 lbs without neo's. So seems a bit heavy to me. Nice to see Traynor come out with some sweet cabs.

New Traynor TC-412 Cabinet

Hi All,
Thanks for the kind words. A couple of things we should clear up on this cabinet. Firstly, it was decided to move away from the mono/stereo switch. Therefore, this cabinet is 900watts at 4ohms in Mono.
Secondly, we do use Neodymium drivers in this cab but it is not part of the Neo line of Traynor cabinets. The Neo line is made from a light weight wood and the TC412 is made from Russian Birch.
Again, thanks for the support everyone!

Good call. This makes more sense to me. Why have a mono/stereo switch when most players will use the cabinet in its usual configuration of mono.

Thanks for clarifying the weight issue. Now that I know it wasn't intended to be a light-weight solution, I don't have a problem with the weight. Now if I can just find a reason to need this bad boy!

i did not know Traynor still made stuff ,is the quality the same as the Traynor Cabs back in the day
I don't think $1054.27 USD is a lot of money for this cab.Reading the thread, i was like+
Then i got to here:
Now i'm like :scowl: +
To drive it with two YBA 200-2s for maximum headroom while retaining the option of using one '200-2 for overdrive at humane volume levels, all while enjoying the piece of mind stemming from touring with a fully redundant tube rig?
Unless I am geezing, the one spec I looked for and did not find is sensitivity. This looks like a fun cab for hard rock gigs
I did play through one about 6 weeks ago. Unfortunately it was only in a store, so volume was some what limited. But this cabinet is a beast and will stand up to pretty much anything you could throw at it.

Thanks, Thornton. Do you mind my asking where you tried it? I recently moved to Toronto but have only made it to L&M on Bloor and Steve's Music on Queens. I didn't see the TC412 in either store, but that was over a month ago, now.
It was in L&M's Markham store. Call your nearest L&M store too see if they've got one in stock. I think all of their stores should have one by now.

I'll have to post a more thorough review in the future, but for now, here's a quickie.
I've had the cab for a little over a month, it's huge sounding. While I need to get my hands on a good tube head to run through it, it's been taking my AG500 very very well (great match actually).
The cab weight isn't too bad, and I can easily load this cab in and out of my little Hyundai hatchback by myself. That's the true test of a good small car by the way; can you fit a large bass cab in it.
Compared to the Traynor 8x8 cab I'd previously been using, handle placement is VASTLY improved with this cab, with recessed handles on the sides, top, and bottom, again adding to how easy this cab is to move. Solid tolex and large skid rails add to it's durability, the metal mesh front looks good and seems pretty tough.
Oh yeah, the tone.
If this cab is using Neo speakers, you probably won't know it, I've always found neo speakers to sound a little on the thin and brittle side depending on what woods the cabinet is made from. That's not an issue here at all, the mids from this cab kick like a mule on steriods, the lows are full and substantial, and the highs can get a little brassy with the horn dialed up past half, dialing it back makes a pretty solid difference.
I've chewed through a number of 810s, 410s, 210s, 15s, and an 8x8 cab, this is easily my favourite cab so far. I'd put it right against any 810, and probably still prefer the 412 for it's fullness and range. Definitely a big winner from Traynor.
Now if they'd hurry up about putting out the
that goes with it

I'd love to hear the cabinet. Have any gigs in town anytime soon?
Nope, currently not really working on any projects, possibly back at it later this winter.
