The SN-12MB has been designed specifically for both direct radiator and horn loaded mid bass applications. This SN Series II design has been optimized for use in the critical 60Hz to 2000Hz vocal range and is an ideal choice for professional level three way designs. A typical 12 inch design must offer both good bandwidth, down to 60Hz, and good efficiency. The SN-12MB has all of its performance designed into the 125Hz and above range. This means that the efficiency can be optimized for this frequency range. High efficiency means that lower electrical power levels are required, thus improving both system reliability and reducing power compression.
