The 5000 Series speakers were designed for the professional contractor or touring professional requiring high power, extremely accurate sound reinforcement. Only the finest components and materials are utilized in the manufacture of this series. The cabinet design uses a 13 ply (18mm) high quality Baltic Birch® plywood with dado joints, recessed baffle and a 16 gauge front perforated grill for long lasting durability. Waterproof adhesive is utilized for lasting durability under the most adverse conditions. The baffle is 1.5” in thickness to enhance acoustical properties and to give the components a rigid interface. For lasting appearance the cabinet is finished with Polane-T® texture coating. Two Neutrik Speakon connectors are installed on all speakers in the 5000 series. The 5212W is bi-amp capable with a switch mounted on the jackplate to bypass the internal passive crossover, if needed. The 5212W is loaded with a 12” co-axial driver and a 12” woofer yielding excellent power and phase coherency.
