The Reference 112 brings the clarity, balance, and response of the 3rd Power cabinet platform into a compact single-speaker format.
Designed for players who want the feel of a real cabinet, the control of a tuned system, and the immediacy of a focused 1×12.
The Reference 112 is built around the same idea—your tone should arrive together.
Not smeared. Not delayed. Not collapsing under its own weight.
In a single-speaker format, this becomes even more critical. Every detail matters. Every movement is exposed.
The result is a cabinet that feels immediate, connected, and resolved in the room.
The Reference 112 is not a typical 1×12 cabinet. It is a controlled acoustic system designed to preserve the integrity of the signal as it moves into the room.
In a single-speaker format, there is nowhere to hide. Internal reflections, resonance, and imbalance are exposed immediately.
The enclosure is tuned to manage these interactions—reducing buildup, maintaining balance, and allowing the speaker to operate with clarity and control.
The result is a cabinet that delivers focus, punch, and consistency—so what leaves the amplifier arrives in the room without being reshaped along the way.
This is not about more gain, more volume, or more processing. It’s about how the note behaves—how it develops, holds, and arrives in the room.
In a single-speaker cabinet, everything is exposed. There is no blending between drivers. No masking. What you play is what you hear.
The Reference 112 is tuned to keep that signal intact—so the attack lands where you expect it, the body of the note holds together, and the response stays connected under your hands.
The result is a feel that is immediate, controlled, and precise. The instrument responds as a whole, not as separate parts.
When everything is working, you stop thinking about the gear. You’re not adjusting—you’re playing. The moment opens up, and the connection holds. That’s the point.
The 3P 212 Reference Cabinet remains the foundation of every 3rd Power amplifier design—used to shape, evaluate, and validate the full system.
The Reference 112 is built from that same platform, carrying forward its clarity, balance, and response into a more focused single-speaker format.
It is not an alternative to the reference. It is an extension of it—designed for players who want that same connection in a tighter footprint.
What you hear is not a different idea. It is the same system, expressed through a different form.
