Hi guys
finally finished my SMT212's and im well happy with them, its realy worth spending the time and money getting it just right. i had a few problems finding the quality ply i was after (11 lam 15mm baltic birch) and getting the SN12Bs but other than that it went very well inddeed. this build was the first time i had used a propper table saw with an adjustable gate and it made it so easy, in fact when putting them together i didn't have to hand plain anything at all and the joints met perfect, so a good table saw goes a long way i think. right time for some pics: And the finished product: |

I don;t really understand why people with clearly excellent woodworking skills would build such a basic cab.
As far as I can tell cabs like these are great if you are short of time or have basic woodworking knowledge but if these don't apply a proper exponential or tractrix horn would be better.

i can see your point but for me i wanted medium throw because i do both indoor and outdoor gigs and iv found with full horn loading it can be a bit to directional and unless your using lots of mid tops you cant get the coverage. also the way i look at it iv got the dirvers needed now so in the future i can build something else if needed, the other thing with full horns is they mostly only cover smaller band widths. TIFF, I reckon the total cost was around £1000 iv had a good play with them in my workshop and they sound very good so far, ill let all know after this weekend coming (live bands all weekend at a festival, 60' x 60' square) Edited by login4 - 01 July 2008 at 3:15pm |

I have to say i thought these were a basic cab but once you hear them in action you would be very impressed. They look sooo good too - think it's the turbo blue.
Great job EL, we'll give em a good blast this week... |
