BMS BMS12C262L 12″ Coaxial Speaker 12C262 400 W + 60 W 8 Ohm

• 98 dB sensitivity 1 W / 1 m
• 400 W + 60 W Power Handling
• 3" + 1.5" Copper Clad Sandwich Voice Coil
• Single Point Source providing coherent Wave Front
• Optical for compact 2-way Systems

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.

• 98 dB Sensitivity 1 W / 1 m
• 800 W + 150 W + 80 W Power Handling
• Single Point Source providing coherent Wave Front
• Conical 60° waveguide for precise directivity
• Optimal for compact 3-way Systems

For use in 2-way or compact 3-way systems, the 1225 bass and mid range driver has a high sensitivity and excellent power handling characteristics.

This classic guitar speaker actually started life as a radio speaker that was modified specifically for use in electric guitar amplifiers. In its original incarnation as the G12 T530 it appeared in several colour variations, but it was the Blue version, fitted as standard into Vox AC30 amps, that secured its place in guitar tone history.

The Blue found favour with notable guitarists like Brian May, due to its glorious dampened attack, warm lows, mellow upper-mids and brilliant belllike top-end. When coupled with a suitable amplifier it evokes rich definition and develops beautiful musical compression when pushed. According to tone enthusiasts worldwide, the Blue is the benchmark for guitar speaker perfection.
