A cabinet is a loudspeaker system designed to reproduce the sound of a guitar or bass guitar. Accordingly, they are called guitar cabinets and bass guitar cabinets. Typical for guitar and bass cabinets are the following speaker options: 1x6", 1x8", 1x10", 1x12", 1x15", 2x10", 2x12", 4x10", 4x12", 6x10", 8x10", 8x12". In addition to the main drivers, the cabinets are equipped with high-frequency tweeters. The cabinets can be beveled or rectangular in shape. In some cases, cabinets are equipped with phase inverters. To protect cabinets from damage, they are equipped with strong steel corners. Especially massive models have wheels for transportation. In this section you can choose and buy guitar and bass cabinets from EBS, Carlsbro, Hiwatt, Yamaha, Ibanez, Fender, TC Electronics, Line 6, Marshall, Laney and many others.
Guitar cabinets come in two basic constructions: open back and closed back. If you prefer some serious volume an open back cabinet is your best bet. The exposed speaker back allows the sound to go further but can also end up having a more loose tone than the closed option. Closed back cabinets offer a tighter sound but can’t get to the same volume as the open-back. It all depends on what you’re playing and what decibel levels you want to reach.
The types of speakers contained in cabinets go by size and quantity of speakers within for good reason. Speaker cones with a large diameter offer optimal bass frequencies, while small cones produce better treble tones. If you are a grungy power chord fan, you may want a large cone, whereas a guitarist who loves shredding might prefer some extra treble. There are an array of sizes and speaker configurations available to suit your needs. Once you decide how you want to present your signature sound to a bigger audience, you will be able to figure out which cabinet is right for you. When you find the speaker cabinet that’s right for you, you’ll feel like you did way back at that first show.
