The SM12V is a low profile, (horn beside woofer style) floor monitor cabinet, with steel corner protectors, steel grille to protect the woofer, and a heavy steel jackplate with both two Neutrik Speakonâ and 2 heavy-duty Switchcraft® 1/4" input connectors. A 1 3/8" pole socket is installed on the end of the cabinet for easy pole mounting and front of house duty. It is covered in tough, abuse resistant black carpet with metal corner protectors.. The woofer, or low frequency driver is a high power, custom design. The high frequency driver is a 2" diaphragm compression driver mated to a 40° x 90° horn. Both drivers in this cabinet are custom made by Eminence®. The internal passive crossover has protection circuitry to help guard against damage that may occur from over powering or sending clipping signals (underpowering) to the SM12V. This loudspeaker is manufactured here in the USA. It is covered by a 3-year warranty. This is one of the best selling floor monitors in the marketplace. Its price performance ratio and small footprint make it an excellent choice.
