B&C Speakers - 12MH801 8 Ohm

In the family of 12-inch speakers, the 12MH801 from B&C Speakers is a serious solution when you want to combine midrange precision and power handling.

Its format makes it ideal for applications where clarity of message is paramount, particularly in two-way configurations where it needs to be at ease with both vocals and rhythm instruments. And that's precisely where this model comes into its own.

With a 76 mm aluminium voice coil, this loudspeaker has a good heat dissipation capacity and a very good dynamic response. What surprises from the very first tests is its responsiveness: it follows without dragging, with a frank but never aggressive attack.

B&C's engineers opted for a ferrite motor with an aluminium demodulation ring - a judicious choice that keeps distortion in check without weighing down the design unnecessarily.

Another strong point is its bandwidth: from 55 to 5000 Hz, it comfortably covers the bass zone and the lower end of the vocal spectrum, without straining. This opens the door to a variety of configurations, whether as stage monitors, line arrays or compact front speakers.

And despite its performance, the 12MH801 takes up a reasonable amount of space, with a depth of 135 mm and a well-balanced weight.

This loudspeaker is aimed at technicians and integrators looking for a reliable transducer that's at ease over a wide frequency range, capable of taking a beating without flinching, and, above all, at the service of sound. No frills here: this is a component that does what is expected of it, and does it well.
