3P-212 Speaker Cab (MONO/STEREO)


The design goal for the 3P-212 was to enhance the performance and versatility of our legendary Dream 212 cab. I’ve been on a kick lately of trying to optimize/align the timing of when your guitar frequencies hit and then exit the speaker and that lead me to a particular design decision to move the back baffle forward by roughly 1.25″. This means the DC-212 is a cabinet with a depth of 12-5/8″ compared to the Dream 212 which had a depth of 14″. This makes the response more immediate. When play testing and recording, I find the mid and high frequencies line up better with the lows to produced a supremely focused tone that is crystal clear, articulate and responsive. Every pick attack of your playing is spot-on accurate. The low frequencies remain full and focused but don’t take over the performance.
Vertical and Horizontal orientation is standard with the new 3P-212. Horizontally, the 3P-212 will accommodate the Kitchen Sink 6VEL, DRGN-45 as well as the DRGN100 head without any head-cab ‘spillover’. Standing vertically, the 3P-212 fits perfectly to the head enclosure format of the Aurora 35 head. The classic look of the 3P-212 will fit right in with your amp setup and will accompany you on stage with superior tone all without taking up too much room or dominating the smooth sight-lines on today’s modern stage designs.
Patented Design
Crafted from 5/8″ birch, the 3P-212 features embedded triangular speaker chambers to eliminate standing waves and internal reflections. With construction features including isolated speaker chambers (one open, one closed) and a tuned triangle port, the 3P-212 delivers your full frequency response with a clarity and punch that sounds more like a mastered record and won’t get lost in the mix.
Pricing
*Prices start at $1799 USD loaded with 2x WGS Retro 30 speakers.

Mono or Stereo Operating Modes
The 3P-212 provides a ton of flexibility by way of MONO or STEREO operating modes. When you plug into the left speaker jack, both speakers are linked in mono (total 8 ohm load). When you plug into the right speaker jack you break the link and can now operate each speaker individually for stereo operation (each speaker is 16 ohms).
