Some of you may be familiar with Electro Voice's work in using plastic
for speaker enclosures (ala the "Entertainer" PA cabs). Earlier this
year they came out with a new plastic floor monitor called the FM-12C
with a coaxial 12"/tweeter driver.
Now they have a "guitar" version, loaded with an EVM-12L (200 watt, 8
ohm) and this is called the FM-12G. The idea is you hook it up as an
extension cab, then stick it on the floor in parts of the stage where
you can't hear enough guitar (like everywhere!!! hahaha).
Cute idea. OK, somebody jump in and bitch that it need to be loaded
with a Celestion 8^) 8^)

How much $ does one of these go for? And whats wrong with the EVM-12L.
My brother has a Fender Concert combo w/EVM-12S that I think sounds
GREAT.

| 2546.2 | What Price Would You Like To See? | RICKS::ROST | Dan Quayle Memorial Spelling Award | Thu Jul 02 1992 06:22 | 4 |
The catalog listing said "call for price", I'd guess in the $300 range
(the speaker alone runs about $150).

The worst sounding speaker I ever heard in a guitar amp was the EVM12L that was in my old musicman. It got replaced with a emminance after I sold it and when I heard the amp I amost bought it back! dbii | |||||

re: .3
That's odd, I always liked the sound of the EV's I've heard. I had a
12L in an old Hiwatt combo I once had and it sounded great. I've heard
them in Mesa-Boogie cabs too and thought they sounded good there too.

I'd think that two guitar cabs running cross-stage would be cheaper and
just as (if not more) effective for hearing anywhere on stage than a
wedge, no? I mean, when I go two-feet to the side of my vocal monitor
it's way in the background! I'd set the cabs up so the sound went
behind my back when I was at the mike, then step back into guitar 'noise'
when not singing. I'd think the wedge-in-your-face could defeat your vocal
monitors, esp. if they are near each other (in clubs, they would be).
I sometimes put a hint of guitar (not much) in the monitors anyway, so I
can travel 'lightly' for gigs. It gives you control over the guitar too,
which can be very beneficial if your guitarist has a volume-problem ;^)
