Orange SP210

Its an isobaric cab so it will have the same volume output of a 110 cab. I have never played through one so I cant compare it to the ampeg tonally. You might want to check out the 210 hlf, if you like the ampeg tone.

 

The SP212 is plenty loud, and puts out plenty of sound. I know many people say it's the same as a 112 cab 'cause it's isobaric, but it's way louder than my GK212 ever was. No expertise in my opinion, just actual use at gigs.

 

Same max volume, but requires twice the power to get there, due to only one speaker moving air, but two using power. For bedroom purposes, ideal if you have a gig power sort of amp. You don't have the height of the 6x10, so putting it somewhere higher might be a beneficial plan.

 

The SP-series from Orange definitely involve their own sets of trade-offs involving the isobaric design, but they do represent a fairly unique option that may appeal to some, but not others. We reviewed the SP210, SP212 and Terror Bass 500 in BGM issue #6.

 

So it will be a cab that only has the total volume output of a 112, but will weigh even more because it has two ceramic drivers in it? :scowl:

 

Yeah, but it`ll be smaller and people who don`t know better will think it`s a new innovation. Marketing, not just for breakfast anymore, LOL.

 

I could almost concede on the idea of a isobaric cab having low end response and tonal benefits, but only with neo drivers to keep the weight down. With two ceramic drivers, forget about it.

 

I agree, the neo drivers were a big factor when I bought my SP212. Sounds like a step backwards for Orange.

 

Right now with the Neos, the SP212 is 44lbs!
