Background
Typically, users of digital modeling gear have two choices when it comes
to amplifying their signal when playing live or in the studio; plug into a
traditional amplier and utilize their modeler primarily for eects, or use
speaker cabinet emulation and play through full-range monitor speakers.
While this latter option may be simpler and provide a more direct
translation to a recording or the front-of-house PA, it can often sound
more like a recording and lack the feel and playability of a traditional
amplier. The Powercab 112 and Powercab 112 Plus products aim to
bridge this gap by providing both modes of operation.
Speakers
The Powercab product is an active speaker cabinet with an internal
power supply designed to faithfully reproduce a modeled guitar signal
chain. The cabinet is tted with a 12" low frequency driver, including a 1"
high frequency compression driver mounted in a coaxial conguration.
This speaker system has been carefully engineered with a very distinct
concept in mind; to be very loud and consistent like a PA, but also
provide the fast or "tight" transient response and natural breakup of a
guitar speaker. To achieve this goal, we've specied a custom driver with
components built by Eminence and Celestion to our exact specications.
Amplifier
The Powercab 112 active guitar speaker system utilizes a specially
designed, Class D amplier, which generates 250 watts into 8 ohms. The
amplier was chosen specically to provide the optimum wattage for the
driver to achieve the maximum throughput and eciency. The passive
cooling design means no noisy cooling fans are required, and no bulky
heat sinks are exposed on the unit.
