hey all,

figured we could use a "different" thread on the ol' Shroe's. ;)

was perusing brian's "the Low End" site, and came across the Mini 12" cabs from NAMM. lovin' that front flightcase like latch door. :cool: but, how's the low B'ness? weight? volume? any idea on pricing?

Having heard many of Jorg's other cabs, I am also interested in hearing from those who have used the Mini 12.

Imagine that, Joker and I both involved in the same thread asking about gear! ;) We're like two hound dogs on the same scent!

Later, Tom.

Its a front panel made to inset into the face for protection. Jorg had a few customers wanting a flight ready mini 12 cabs so he built them and decided to offer them to customer's.

Since the mini 12 is well below the aircraft weight limit, you can fly with them with ease. The Front Panel gives the the protection and they are also available with metal corners, hence the word "Flight Ready" as a flight case.

Hey man, sorry, I don't have the freq. for the cabs. I know Jorg is having a bunch of updates done over the next days and weeks.

Brennan, I won't state manufactures names, but since you did, reread my first ....... But thats not to say that there aren't a lot of great cabinet builders out there. Some just work better for somethings then others.

recieved my mini 12 w/horn saturday and had a chance to use it in church sunday with a focus.i opted for the 4 ohm version.it was more than enough for that setting.very tight and punchy and handles the low b no problem.as with all of jorgs other cabs this one too is very loud for its size and sounds suprisingly warm.the same titanium horn as in the other schroeders for smooth highs.
ill have it out this weekend on bigger gigs and to see what this thing will do.i can easily carry it with one hand and my focus and bass over my shoulder so load in will be cake.i would love to hear a pair of these together.

That's actually my mini 12 with the front cover that Jorg made for me to use for touring. That one doesn't have a tweeter to keep it as light as possible. It was just completed last week and wasn't at NAMM.

I have a regular mini 12 with the tweeter and it's a nice sounding though pretty mid-rangey small cab. It has better cut through and dispersion than the bergie HT 112 but the Bergie sounds a bit warmer & sweeter in an acoustic setting if you are in front of it.

I use the mini 12 on top of my 1210 for a great stage rig that provides lots of audible bass all over the stage (and club). These angled speaker cabs diffuse and circulate the sound really well.

Aloha,

Jonathan

Haven't tried it yet. I pick it up from Jorg next week in LALA.

It's probably less crisp & punchy without the tweet for attack. I just wanted it as easy to move as possible. I only saved a pound or so, but figured without the tweet & crossover it would be more immune from damage from getting tossed.

I've tried to get other cab makers to do this for a few years. Jorg is the first guy who listened.

Aloha,

Jonathan

HI Jon
Great idea. Yep Jorg really goes the extra mile for sure.
Question, although you don't have it yet, maybe you could comment either now or after testing... how would the 1210 compare to two of the mini 12 cabs say one with and one without a tweet ?? Thanks in advance TIA.

What are the decibel levels relative to average at those 40hz and 20khz ends? I really like everything I see, but it always makes me a bit wary when a speaker cabinet is said to "respond" from 40-20khz, but with no relative sound levels. I'll assume that those are the -3dB points, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll try the two mini-12s together when I get the transporter home.

I've been using the one mini-12 for my practice speaker the past week, and it's certainly got a lot less fundamental than the 1210. It's middier and the sound seems to come from all around. That swirling aspect and the mid voicing might make the pair of mini 12s the ideal stage monitor when working with a PA, in that you can hear the bass well all over the stage but it doesn't project much fundamental out into the house to muddy or beat against the PA.

Aloha,

Jonathan

A pair of 1x12's (sort of a 2x12, right?), especially of the Schroeder variety, would seem to make a decent replacement to the 1210, would it not? Or would it be louder?

Only thing though is that the price of one mini-12+ (or so I think) is relatively close to a 1210, right? So two would break my budget at this point. But I guess you are paying for the modularity, portability, and flexibility options though for the pair, which is understandable.

Anyone got a picture of two stacked up on top of each other? That would make them 32" tall x 16w x 16d, right? What a cool mini rig that would be...

Thanks Jon,
That's interesting. Sometimes I have experienced cancellation with our system. I've been adding some 100hz on my Ultra and it seems to help some when that occurs. I'm getting a nice start on a collection of 112 cabs is why I asked. I plan on trying a varitey.
