Glad someone mentioned the f12-x200. I've posted about it so much I feel like a broken record at this point. Great cost effective solution that's hard to beat. Good to hear you're still digging yours.
I don’t know much about the technology behind it, all I know is when turned all the way left, it sounds like every other Frfr speaker, very similar to the atomic clr wedges I have and even similar to your qsc k12’s. Then as you start to turn the “EmPower” knob, the more it sounds like a real cab the more you turn, blowing more air through the speakers. But doesn’t change the linear sound, just the warmth, the punch. It’s hard to explain in words, but it’s amazing. I keep it about half way at 12 o’clock, because all the way up makes ea note rattle my door off its hinges. Also, the clarity with this speaker is so great, that I had to use a db meter to measure volume. My band ket telling me to turn down, that I was loud, and I knew I was on 2, and typically I had my clr wedges cranked much louder. But with this speaker, each note is so Crystal clear, it seems to cut right through the other instruments and sound louder, even at a lower volume (confirmed by db measurements comparing clr’s and gm2). So between the clarity and that EmPower knob (that I still have no idea what it actually is), I get the EXACT sound I’m looking for with clarity of Frfr speakers and punch of a real cab. Definitely worth hitting a local music shop and giving it a test. I offered GC $900 for their demo and left with it that day, so don’t get intimidated by the $2200 price tag, there’s deals out there.They even threw in the matching rack head to match, not that I’ll ever need/use it, but just saying cuz I think they up the price to like $2400+ for the bundle and I got it all new out the door for $900, so there’s deals on these I’ve seen.
Yes, the US distributor is real.
I have found a Friedman asm 12 for a decent price however......... They only have a single XLR in. I use a FM3 and out 1 run both to FOH in stereo. I want to use out 2 for a wedge they are 1/4". Does a 1/4" to xlr suffice? Make any difference in tonal quality at all?
I like the Line 6 Powercab plus..
Or? Run say left into the friedman and out into FOH like the Out 1 R?
can you elaborate? phono? sorry im new
He meant "phone" (1/4"), not "phono" (RCA).
That's what I had to use before I got an Axe FX-III, I had an FM3 and the stereo Friedmans. No problem with a decent quality cable from Sweetwater.
Are you still using the Friedman or have you switched to something else?
Well I'm glad you aren't bitter about my helping you spend 3k the morning you made your purchases. Lol
