All speakers are constructed from high quality multi-ply poplar plywood, glued and screwed together at the same time, and arranged internally so that you can hear everything you want to hear from your instrument. All the materials and components used are chosen to be as high quality and lightweight as possible, and it goes without saying that everything is subordinated to achieving optimum sound
Markbass was one of the first companies to incorporate neodymium magnet speakers into their boxes in large numbers. Their advantages, apart from good sound reproduction, are that they are extremely strong and therefore a magnet can be used that is considerably lighter than that used in conventional speakers. This brings us to the biggest advantage of Markbass boxes - despite their high power output and great sound projection, they are among the lightest speakers on the market - an undeniable advantage. All boxes also include a bass reflex for the best possible sound, which is placed either on the front or back of the cabinet.
NEW YORK 122
Despite its smaller size, it has a power output of 800W, which is more than enough, it achieves this power at an impedance of 4 Ohms. Two 12-inch neodymium magnet speakers developed by B&C take care of converting the power into sound, and for optimal projection you will also find a piezo tweeter and a bass reflex located on the back of the cabinet.
If you dig deeper into the technical parameters of the unit, you will learn that the crossover frequency between the speaker and tweeter is 3.5 kHz, the speaker can operate in the frequency range from 45 to 20,000 Hz and the speaker sensitivity is 103 dB SPL. The weight is the aforementioned 22.4 kilograms, the dimensions of the cabinet are 72.4 x 39.4 x 36.9 centimeters.
In terms of construction, you will find everything here - the cabinet made of poplar plywood has protected corners, the speaker is covered by a metal grille, there is a carrying handle on the top, the surface of the box is carpeted.
The Markbass New York 122 is therefore the ideal companion for musicians demanding great sound in a mobile package. There's more to this beast than meets the eye...
