TC Electronic RS112 1x12" 200W Bass Cabinet with 1" Tweeter, Single

Bass Box Beauty
The TC Bass Team is always looking to push things forward. This time TC Electronic decided to focus on a cabinet that's portable and invaluable at gigs or sessions where space is not an option. The result is RS112 - a great-sounding 1x12" cabinet to carry, plug and play anywhere.

• Great Sound
• Stackable and Portable
• Dual Concentric Driver

Sound Like You Got a Pair
The custom-made, 12" Eminence driver is dual conentric. What it means is that, even though you can't see it, there is a 1" tweeter built in at the center, adding those crispy highs. the result? Fast response and tight punch! They have worked closely with specialist USA company Eminence to produce specific custom drivers for their RS cabs.

Stackable and Portable
As well as being easy to carry, RS112 maintains the RS range's 'stackability' concept. All the cabinets in the range may be stacked together in various combinations. The RS112, for example, fits perfectly under an RS210, making it an ideal combination for small to mid-sized gigs.

Stay Connected
RS112 features two high quality Speakon connectors as well as a heavy duty HF attenuator on the rear side.

Vertical Stacking
Vertical Stacking... It may sound like a term that was developed by their sales and marketing departments, but in reality Vertical Stacking was born in their bass development department. The concept emerged from years and years of bass playing. Yep, that's right! The guys developing TC bass gear are actually bass players themselves and they know what it's like out there in the real world of bass.

The Problem
If you ever play gigs at private parties or small to mid-sized venues, you probably decided to only bring one bass cab - typically one with a 4x10" speaker configuration. If you place a 4 x10" cab on the floor the sound waves will bounce off the floor. While this is great for getting that fat low-end impact, the downside is that you can't hear the details of your playing. (Well, your knees can, but not your ears.)

One solution is to place the cab on a chair, a rack case or similar. Now you can hear the mid and high frequencies much better, but the downside is lack of low-end presence. Since you elevated the cab, you lose the early reflections bouncing off the floor.

The Solution
The solution to the problem is their unique Vertical Stacking concept. There is nothing wrong with using 4 10" speakers. In most situations, that is more than enough - the problem is that all 4 speakers are fitted inside a square box in a 2x2 configuration. Their answer is a 4x1 speaker configuration using either two 2x10", 2x10"/2x12" or two 2x12" cabs. Whether you want 10 or 12" speakers or a combination, the point is that you stack the speakers vertically.

Quite simply, you get the best from both 4x10" scenarios: The early reflections adding punch and low-end to your sound, but at the same time, you can hear every detail thanks to the fact that the top speaker is aligned with your ears.

Acoustic Tilt
Just like early reflections are key to the Vertical Stacking concept, you can take advantage of the same phenomenon if you use either an RS212 or RS112 as the lower cabinet and an RS210 as the upper cabinet. It's perfectly fine to align the front of each cabinet, but if you want to emphasize clarity and definition in a natural way (without adjusting the tone controls of the amp), try pushing the upper RS210 cab back a bit.

Now, you will get eary reflections of the upper cabinet coming your way and even though it may sound like a minor adjustment, the difference is significant and you can control the amount of early reflections by how far you push back the RS210 cab.
