Unbelievable !!!

First point, rectifies, it is not a double cone, but a triple cone. It is not really visible in the thomann photo, but in the cone of 5 "(itself in the middle of the 12"), there is a very rigid third of 1.4 ". Result, it climbs in acute as much as a compression. See the curve, it is true. I tested it alone in closed enclosure thomann and also by 2 in column so 500 w rms / 4 ohms. Obviously, everything depends on what you want to do with it. For me, it was necessary to integrate in a facade equipped with double boxes 46. So, holding in low, bof, unimportant, thomann it is indeed reduced in small satellite closed, but surprised, although it serves no purpose, excellent column 70 liters in Bass Reflex. The problem with the usual solution 38 + 1 "is that the 1" generally admits less than 100 watts, sometimes not more than 20 watts. thomann So, fed up with mending compresses when a DJ nanny makes a toy with her high-pitched button. Second problem, an amp loaded in 2 times 8 ohms gives less than 2 times 4. So to follow a strong bass line, you need at least 4 speakers thomann 15 "+ 1" or 12 "+ 1". All that is paid for, including trunk, filter etc. If one manufactures it, one understands its pain, if one finds Chinese at prices tip top, should not hope to keep his fallopian tubes long. This jewel of Fane thomann Sovereign is presented as a boomer that climbs in frequency, but after test, I see it more like a real 250 watts RMS / 500 watt tweeter music 108 db / 1w / wm which agrees to go down to 60 hz without breaking ! Let's talk thomann about the result: With 2 columns of 2 fane 12-250TC, I have 1000 watts RMS and 2 Kwa music, with a higher output than anything I've had. I compare the sound to my 38 + 1 "(and not the entry-level, noble!) 1) I had planned thomann compressions 108 db filtered at 5 Khz, unnecessary. 2) in the axis at 15 meters, one feels more than double, 3) virtually no need for equalizer, crystalline sound. 4) more afraid of forcing the tweeters 5) much cheaper. Now, be careful, I observed thomann an unusual directivity, I would say less than 60 ° - to "shoot" far, it's great, I'm delighted, I was just afraid that it scattered in all directions, I am looking for scope, kind meetings + 1500 people without line array, outdoor concerts , Etc. - thomann but for those who want a large opening in proximity, it is not very open. Me, I compensate with edges of scene in 10 "+ 1" in reduced power with openings 100 ° x 40 ° for those who are in front. If necessary, I will put thomann 4. In short, you have to know what you want to do with it, it may not be to put in all the sauces, but you can draw a surprising result, and in its field, I look for I do not see anyone The 200 TC same thomann brand, very much lower yield in acute, nor its competitor in E .... which is a boomer / medium but which requires a top complement. In fact, apart from the directivity that will be a quality for some and fault for others, just read the characteristics, simply thomann often on paper is good and in truth one is deceiving. As in poker, I had to pay to see, I took the risk, without regret, go free. In my opinion, we have not finished seeing, these tins. And all that at a Thomann price.
