G12
CENTURY
VINTAGE
With the G12 Century Vintage, our mission
was to create a loudspeaker that combined
all the benefits of a Neodymium magnet
structure with a voicing that evoked the
classic guitar tones of the 1960s and ’70s.
The incredible magnetic properties of Neo
mean that only a small amount is needed to
produce the same flux as a much larger
ceramic magnet structure. What’s more, the
magnet of the G12 Century Vintage is a ‘pot’
type which actually sits inside the voice coil
(unlike the ‘ring’ magnet of the G12 Century
which surrounds the voice coil). The resulting
weight of the G12 Century Vintage is just
1.66kg (3.65lb).
The Neo characteristics of fast attack,
responsiveness and articulation are very much
in evidence. However this specific magnet
configuration, combined with a carefully
selected cone material and edge treatment,
gifts the G12 Century Vintage with a classic
rock sound for the new millennium.
