• GALLIEN-KRUEGER's bass cabinet "NEO" series has a new model!

  

  2023/12/18

  American bass amp brand GALLIEN-KRUEGER has introduced the "NEO-IV" bass cabinet, the fourth generation of the NEO series, with updated features, construction, and appearance and a lineup of five speaker sizes. The NEO-IV features a new neodymium magnet designed and manufactured by the company and a die-cast frame. It has achieved high durability and is lightweight while maintaining the power of the previous model. Each has a 1-inch tweeter horn and covers a wide range from high to low frequencies. The inside of the cabinet is uniquely brazed to eliminate dead spots in the bass range, providing excellent response and a punchy, articulate sound. The rear panel incorporates two Speakon terminals and a tweeter horn control. The sturdy metal handles on both sides make it easy to transport. It is best suited for Legacy and Fusion series heads but is also recommended as an addition to the same series/combo type!
