Afterburner 412A, Slant front. - Our 4x12 slant cab has the massive presence and low end articulation that has built our reputation. Being a slant design, it offers the dispersion pattern that allows for a bit more emphasis on the mid and high frequencies when you want them. The Afterburner's award-winning design has achieved unprecedented levels of performance throughout the speakers' complete EQ range. This cab is a rocker to be sure, but it is perfect for the Instrumentalist who defines their creativity through soaring leads and complex passages...with POWER.

Matt Bellamy of "MUSE" runs 4 of these live.

Afterburner 412B, Straight front. - Our 4x12 straight cab is quite simply, an engineering breakthrough. It is designed to deliver a punch and clarity that NO CAB on EARTH can match. This cab is perfect for the player who breathes fire through sheer overdriven, hi-gain brutality, yet wants the rich dynamics and articulation usually only found at low volumes. If you have a 100W plus head and you want the ability to hear what it can REALLY deliver with the volume at "10", THIS is your cab. Looking for tone at lower volumes as well? The 412B delivers huge presence and 3D complexity even at "living room" levels.

The cab of choice for Chris H. of "3 Doors Down" and Bill K. of "Mastodon".

Afterburner 412B-EVM, Straight front. - Our 4x12 straight cab as described above is a beast. But when raw, bone-crushing POWER is the order of the day, just load it with Electro-Voice EVM-12L speakers and you have what is without question, the most powerful 4x12 guitar speaker cabinet in the World. This cab can get as nasty as you can imagine. But it will clean up beautifully and provide headroom that is just beyond belief, until you experience it. The cab is available in an 800W version with EVM-12L Classics or a 1200W model with EVM-12L Black Labels. These are the speakers used by Zakk and since hearing them in OUR cab design, we now understand why.

Afterburner 412B Classic, Straight front. - The 412B Classic is the perfect companion to a "Plexi style" amp. It's 29" x 29" dimensions are very comparable to the "standard" cabs that have been so common for all these years. And in fact, it is actually slightly smaller than most of them. But there is a BIG difference. It also employs our "Afterburner Baffle" system and is built to the exact same material standards and engineering principles as it big brothers. Being a smaller cab, it tends to have a bit more of the typical "focused warmth" with plenty of "vintage growl". Even though it is a smaller, more portable cab, it's power and dynamics are stunning. If you're into the classic British tones, this could very well be your cab.

SIZE: 29"W x 14.75"D x 29"H WEIGHT: 105 LBS. HANDLING: 280 W
STOCK SPEAKER: Celestion Vintage 30
IMPEDANCE: 8 or 16 ohm mono

412B Classic Unloaded: $699.00

Mach 212B Straight front. - The main advantages of a 2x12 cabinet have always been portability and cost. The big disadvantage has been that they tended to sound "small". The Mach 212B solves this issue and presents the best of both worlds. It has replaced many of our competitors' 4x12 cabs. It has the same Afterburner punch and growl with tremendous clarity and focus. It is amazingly projective and can handle a medium sized venue with ease. It has also proven to be the cab of choice for many studios.
We call it our "awesome little monster" and it most certainly is.

SIZE: 32"W x 14.75"D x 20"H WEIGHT: 72 LBS. HANDLING: 140 W
STOCK SPEAKER: Celestion Vintage 30
IMPEDANCE: 8 or 16 ohm mono

Merlin 212, Straight front. - The Merlin 212 is for the TONE PURIST. This little beauty utilizes a hand-planed floating speaker baffle with a semi-open back design. The Celestion Golds deliver the classic Alnico warmth and shimmer. We often hear phrases such as "glassy", bell-like" and "chimey"...THIS, is the Merlin. We believe this to be the ultimate blues/jazz/fusion cab.

SIZE: 25"W x 11.75"D x 21.5"H WEIGHT: 55 LBS. HANDLING: 100 W
STOCK SPEAKER: Celestion Gold Alnico
IMPEDANCE: 8 or 16 ohm mono

Legend 410B Bass, Straight front. - The 410B is our Flagship Bass Cab. The "Afterburner Baffle" system that works so well in our Guitar Cabs delivers even more impressive results in our bass cab design. This cab is the "Home of Thunder" and will flat out beat any 4x10 bass cab (and most 6x10s) in existence in terms of room-filling "thump" with articulation. Bass notes are hard to project...they fall off quickly. Such is NOT the case with our design.

SIZE: 28"W x 16.75"D x 28"H WEIGHT: 105 LBS. HANDLING: 800 W
STOCK SPEAKER: Eminence BP102
IMPEDANCE: 4 or 8 ohm mono

Legend 610B Bass, Straight front. - If the guitar guys in your band are running OUR Afterburner cabs, then the 610B is your "single cab" answer. Not everyone can be on the front row. Your fans at the back of the arena want "bottom" as well. THIS is how you get it to them.

SIZE: 28"W x 16.75"D x 42"H WEIGHT: 127 LBS. HANDLING: 1200 W
STOCK SPEAKER: Eminence BP102

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:
Standard specs which apply to all of our cabs.

MATERIALS	Our cabs are constructed 100% with 13 ply, 18mm (3/4") Russian birch plywood. Inside corners are steel-reinforced. All hardware is black powder-coated steel. 412/410 cabs come with 2" plug-in casters and rubber feet. We use no rivets anywhere in the construction.
SPEAKER MOUNTING AND WIRING	The cabs utilize rear mounting of the speakers. We do this for several reasons but primarily because it allows the front baffle to behave more like an extension of the speaker cone and also because it locates the speaker's voice coil closer to the cab center. We bolt our speakers in place using aircraft-grade machine bolts with nuts and lock washers. Our wiring is 14 ga. stranded copper Primary Wire. We do not solder our wire to the terminals but use custom-fit connector terminals.
IMPEDANCE	All of our cabs are wired in a mono circuit. The standard impedance of our 412 cabs is 8 ohms. For our 212B cabs it is 16 ohms. For our 410B bass cabs it is 4 ohms. We can offer other resistance values upon request. All cabs have a primary instrument "input" and an external parallel "output". Stereo wiring is available as an upgrade.

Simply put...MILLS Acoustics Cabs are Performance Tone.
