When Two Forces Combine
RS115 is the perfect partner in tone for one of your more punchy bass cabs. Combine it with an RS410 cab and be prepared to go through the pearly gates to bass-tone heaven. This combination will give you that classic warm and beefy tone that’s great for everything from gut-punching rock to groovy funk. You can also combine it with the high-end sparkle and fast response of an RS212 for that perfect mix of highs that cut and bass that rocks. No matter what combination you choose, RS115 is sure to bring the bass front and center where it belongs!
Driven To The Max
We’ve worked closely together with US driver specialists Eminence, in order to find the perfect speaker that delivers everything you’ve come to expect from a great 1×15 cab and more. What we came up with is a 15″ speaker that, together with the natural resonance of the cab, delivers the most full-bodied and musical low-end tone that you’ve ever heard.
Ready To Rock The Road
RS115 is the epitome of solid. Not only is the tone rock-solid, but the cab’s build is too. With its handcrafted plywood construction, hard-wood corners and rugged black finish, RS115 is sure to stand the test of time weather you’re playing arenas, or just jamming at your local rehearsal space. Couple that with a highly portable design and you have yourself a bass cabinet that’ll not only have your back, but will also save it from unnecessary stress and pain.
Vertical Stacking Explained
Vertical Stacking… It may sound like a term that was developed by our sales and marketing departments, but in reality Vertical Stacking was born in our bass development department. The concept emerged from years and years of bass playing. Yep, that’s right! The guys developing TC bass gear are actually bass players themselves, and they know what it’s like out there in the real world of bass.
The Problem
If you ever play gigs at private parties or small to mid-sized venues, you probably decided to only bring one bass cab – typically one with a 4×10″ speaker configuration.
If you place a 4 x10″ cab on the floor the sound waves will bounce off the floor.? While this is great for getting that fat low-end impact, the downside is that you can’t hear the details of your playing.? (Well, your knees can, but not your ears.)
One solution is to place the cab on a chair, a rack case or similar. Now, you can hear the mid and high frequencies much better, but the downside is lack of low-end presence. Since you elevated the cab, you lose the early reflections bouncing off the floor.
In other words, no matter what you do, using only one 4 x 10″ cab means a compromise of sound quality.
Horizontal Alternative
As long as you use TC cabinets, most of our amps can actually handle 3 cabs simultaneously.
Obviously, it would become a very tall stack if you stacked 3 2×10″ or 2×12″ cabs vertically, in fact you may not be able to reach the amp…
But don’t worry, due to the extra cab, it actually makes sense to stack them in the traditional, horizontal way if you hook up three cabs.
The Solution
The solution to the problem is our unique Vertical Stacking concept. There is nothing wrong with using 4 10″ speakers. In most situations, that is more than enough – the problem is that all 4 speakers are fitted inside a square box in a 2×2 configuration.
Our answer is a 4×1 speaker configuration using either two 2×10″, 2×10″/2×12″ or two 2×12″ cabs. Whether you want 10 or 12″ speakers or a combination, the point is that you stack the speakers vertically.
The early reflections add punch and low-end to your sound, but at the same time, you can hear every detail thanks to the fact that the top speaker is aligned with your ears.
No More Compromises. Issue Solved!
Classic Stacking
If weight and space is less of a concern, you can always go for the classic configuration of 8×10″. Or how about 2×12″ in the bottom, 4×10″ in the middle and 2×10″ on top? Obviously, such solutions will also give you all the benefits of vertical stacking using smaller cabs.
