Peerless 830 844 12″ Round XXLS Subwoofer

Originally created as a higher-power handling variant of the G12M Greenback, the G12-65 is widely regarded as one of the best speakers ever produced for use in a 4x12 cabinet.

With its fast attack and tightly controlled low-end, the G12-65 became a firm favourite in the ʼ80s with hard rock players. The precisely tuned midrange and crisp defined top-end contribute to an aggressive crunch sound that punches through the mix while the mid-range warmth and detail give weight and depth to single notes.

Long excursion 12" woofer with 800W power handling for
subwoofer application. A special 3" copper voice coil using
proprietary high temperature adhesives and an optimized
magnet assembly guarantees superb LF dynamic range with a
very low distortion. Due to the linear characteristics of the 12
PZ 32, exceptional results are obtained in horn loaded
subwoofer applications.

1 2 hours test made with continuous pink noise signal (6 dB crest factor) within the
specified range. Power calculated on rated minimum impedance. Loudspeaker in
free air.
2 Power on Continuous Program is defined as 3 dB greater than the Nominal rating.
3 Applied RMS Voltage is set to 2.83V for 8 ohms Nominal Impedance. Average
SPL from 200 to 2500 Hz.
4 Thiele-Small parameters are measured after a high level 20 Hz sine wave preconditioning
test.

• 12” neodymium woofer offers 300Wrms (AES) continuous power handling and 98dB sensitivity
• 3” high temperature Inside/Outside voice coil efficiently dissipates heat, preventing sensitivity loss through thermal compression
• M-roll surround provides progressive excursion control, yielding a smooth response even at extremes of frequency range
• Extremely lightweight design combined with a highly efficient magnet assembly results in exceptional power-to-weight ratio
• Intelligent heat management in both chassis and magnet assembly design further minimizes distortion
