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.

| The B&C 12NW100 speaker is designed to produce bass, it is typically a 12 inch usable as a bass power speaker in a subwoofer for a compact system often transported. The 12NW100 will delight you with bass-reflex or band-pass load, its significant admissible electrical power makes it a real machine for producing bass, however, special care must be taken with the amplification dedicated to it.
