Eminence Legend BP 122

I got this speaker to use with a Grossman iso cab in my home recording setup. I had tried several other bass speakers with this cab with rather poor results. I decided to try this one because the specs and the description on the Eminence website suggests that it should work fine in small cabs.

And it does! My bass (amp/mic) home recordings went from rather poor to some of the best bass sounds I've ever recorded! And this was using the same Grossman cab as before, just with different speakers. Using just DI never sits quite right with me but now I can finally get some decent bass recordings with DI+amp at home.

In fact, I now find my bass home recordings of more or less equal quality to the bass recordings I do at my studio. Different, but that's more because of the different amps I have available at each location. I mean, it probably wouldn't be the smartest idea to use a Hiwatt DR201 or an Ampeg SVT going into this single speaker at home. But using 50w vintage tube bass amps into this speaker in the iso cab sounds GREAT. Every bit as good as recording my bigger amps into Bergantino cabs and such in my studio.

Highly recommended for iso cabs (and probably a great speaker for other small enclosures as well)!!!

è sempre difficile valutare uno speaker. ci sono troppi fattori da valutare. questo l'ho montato in una 2x12 e l'ho accoppiata ad una ulteriore 2x12 con redback per una testa ampeg da 100W. risultati molto molto buoni. i suoni ottenuti sono davvero convincenti sia col basso che con baritone varie. ho aspettato qualche settimana per far si che questi legend mollassero dato che all'inizio erano un filo troppo secchi e freddini. ora si gode!

Als ich den Speaker bekam, stellte ich gleich fest, dass der Korb eine ziemlich große Delle hat, welche anscheinend, bereits während der Herstellung entstand, da die Verpackung völlig unversehrt war. Ich habe ihn also zurück geschickt und das Thomann-Team war so nett, mir ein anderes, tadelloses Exemplar zu schicken.

Ich habe eigens für diesen Speaker eine Box nach Vorgaben von Eminence gebaut. Um genau zu sein, entschied ich mich für die kleine, geschlossene Version, da dieser Speaker sich ja angeblich in solch einer Box am wohlsten fühlt und auch wenn ich keine Möglichkeit zum direkten Vergleich habe, kann ich bestätigen, dass er darin wirklich fett und rund klingt, perfekt für Reggae. Von mir eine Empfehlung und ein Dankeschön an Thomann.
