Matching bass speaker cabinets for Orange's Terror Bass

On the heels of the Terror Bass at Winter NAMM show 2009, Orange launched a new series of bass speaker cabinets at Musikmesse Frankfurt 2009, Germany. The cabinets, along with all other recently launched products by Orange amplification, will made their UK debut at LIMS 2009, London, and the US appearance at Summer NAMM 2009 in Nashville. Even smaller than the famed Orange Tiny Terror and weighing in around 5 kilograms, the Orange Terror Bass is a 500-watt hybrid amplifier with a Class D solid state power section and a twin valve 12AX7 preamp to deliver a high-powered performance that can crank out 500 watts of Orange tone. Using breakthrough technology, the new ‘Smart Power’ range of speakers come in three sizes and utilises, for the first time in this market, Isobaric loudspeaker construction. This technology is based on mounting two lightweight Neodymium Eminence Speakers within the cabinet behind each other. In practical terms this not only lowers the bass frequency but also delivers more output from within a smaller sized cabinet. The three new models are the SP210 (600 watts), the SP212 (600 watts) and the SP410 (1200 watts). All have a dynamic and responsive tone and the trademark compact ‘Tiny Terror’ size with the SP 210 coming in a little over 30 cms square. Built in the UK using marine quality Baltic birch plywood, the Smart Power cabs are all rated at 8 ohms. Orange are also introducing a new OBC810 bass speaker cabinet using 8 x 10” speakers in a rock solid construction with rear castors and grip handles.
