dont Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Has anyone played through the Schroeder 410 or 21012? Are they as clear and as loud as advertised? How power-hungry are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 They've only just come onto the market but I've been hearing good things about them. I'd like to know more about the 1212 myself. However, we're still awaiting your reply to this thread that you started. Care to fill us in?

_Sweet Willie_ Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Interesting. Here\'s a link. Angled woofers seem to be a consistent feature in his cabinet designs? Why? And they're not downward firing like I've seen in other cabs (e.g., Mesa Walkabout combos). And they're not upwardly tilted so my ears and not just my knees can listen to bass goodness. They're angled to the side. The "big" cabs are all about 75 lbs. (3x10, 4x10, 2x10 + 1x12) and the "small" cabs are all about 45 lbs. (2x10, 2x12, 1x10 + 1x12). They all seem to be two-way cabs, even if three speaker sizes are used. However, I can't tell for sure from a quick visit to the website. Peace. --s-dub spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes!

alexclaber Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I think he's trying to achieve some rather bizarre port-tuning/horn-loading gymnastics, by having the port and one woofer fire into a very short horn. The reviews so far suggest that he's managed to get a lot more bottom and volume than you'd expect out of a compact cab. The 1212 (2x12") is particularly impressive based on the (incomplete) specs: 23W X 16H X 16D (1/2" taller than an Acme Low-B2 but otherwise identical in size); 48lbs (2lbs lighter than a Low-B2); 1000W RMS (though I seriously doubt they'll handle 1000W @ 30Hz without overexcursion!); 40hz - 18khz (how many dB down?) Perfect for sitting vertically under my vertical Acme stack for LOUD gigs, but would I ever need that much volume? At $600 for any of the small cabs I think anyone in the market for a new rig should at least check these out.

_Sweet Willie_ Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Thanks, C. Alex, for the thoughts on the side-angled woofers. Claberonious Phunk mentions: ...the (incomplete) specs... Yup. I'd like a little more spec info on the website -- i.e., technical data and discussion. It would be fun to A/B/C these w/ Acmes and AccuGrooves. The "small" boxes all look interesting, and the "big" box I'm most curious about is the one w/ two 10s and one 12. Obviously the pricing is competitive w/ Acme and less expensive than AccuG. BUT, how do they sound?!?!? Anybody going to the summer NAMM show who's willing to give these cabs a listen? Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.

dohhhhh6 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I was pretty much sold on saving for an Acme, but at only a couple bucks more, this could be interesting (although I do think the cabs are ugly ).

JBFLA Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Wow, thanks for the link and info... looking forward to some more info when available. Might be just the ticket to augment my Acme when I'm outside or in a larger room. Sure beats hauling my lead-reinforced/pre-poured concrete-construction 1X15 cabinet up to my 2nd story apartment at 3:00 in the A.M.

g. Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I'm guessing these are pretty incredible cabs for the price. That quasi-horn really isn't a REAL HORN LOAD like some of the yapyap that's gone around. But like my Ampeg Extreme, it does allow one to leverage a little 1/4-waveform coupling for some boost of lower freqs - especially when the porting/venting is also included within it. It's also a real TIGHT sound for the frequencies it handles - well damped (not dampened*). The cab should also have a good amount of added lower mids because these chambers tend to act a little like bandpass boxes, where the energy above a certain freq is really rolled off. So the "filtered" energy from any speakers inside that chamber, consisting mainly of TRUE bass and lower midsm is going to be added to the full-spectrum energy coming off the directly radiating woofer. Good way to get a richer sound and some SPL at the tougher freq's without adding too many phasing problems. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least they are a new wrinkle on the scene and are sure to be good performers in their respective weight classes. For a bunch of people who always bend over frontwards to expose their GAS, this is pretty pathetic ; } . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanJ Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Aaaahh!!! Why did you have to show these!? I am in the market for a new cabinet, and so far the cabinets that interested me have been the Acme Low-B2 and the Mesa 2x12... I had just decided to order the Mesa once my paycheck comes, and now I suddenly have one more cab to ponder upon... So many cabs, so little money... So, anywho, what do they sound like?

I know a [would-be] programmer/ software developer there who has shown me some incredible fotos of the natural landscape, and how life in the towns/villages is. Very interesting! Profundly, it looks like an incredible place to pony trek or x-country ski. As much as I like Mesa's revitalized slant, I'd give the Schroeder cabs a try without even hearing them if I was in the market right now and looking in that price range and wieght class. A fair number of credible people have, and though the company itself has not been able to explain coherently what their sonic advantages are, I am confident that there are some. Always remembering, that in the end, it is what we MAKE it, and that we can be very adaptable beings as well. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnb Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I am officially out of the speaker hunt (for now). I purchased another LB-2 a few months ago and the sound I have been getting is stunning. I don't know if it is the new tweeters or if my beloved Sadowsky is sounding sweeter with age or what. Andy Lewis must have put some industrial strength voodoo on this cabinet. I have no comment on the Chia Pet Foam Power Puncher 5000 1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
