Yorkville YX12

Lightweight, 2-way (with 12" speaker) floor monitor, lightweight and inexpensive.

200w Program is pretty accurate. I power these (I currently have 5) with QSC PLX1104 amps, which provide around 300-350 at 8 ohms. I have had one 12" seize up when on drum monitor duty, so be careful how you power and limit these.

These speakers have one glaring weakness: the horn driver. When opened, it is revealed to be a VERY small driver; not actally much bigger than the old piezo drivers from the 70s-80s. It acually is a driver, so I'll give it that. One cab developed a rattle like something was loose inside. Upon inspection, a screw holding the driver on the horn got loose and was rattling around inside the molded horn! The mounting system for the driver is unusual to say the least. That said, a little Lok-tite and it was good to go.

Overall, the sound is OK. There is a glaring spike around 8k when using these with SM58s, but overall (after EQ) they get as loud as advertised, which of course isn't as loud as more expensive monitors.

You still get what you paid for, but these were mainly bought due to the low weight and the fact that they can be used in bars with little fear of beer getting spilled in them. I've used these for churches and small bands up to 3-band metal fests. No real complaints from anyone yet.

The only other gripe I have is that they are tippy. If a muso puts their foot up on one, it can easily tip over onto the input panel side. They learn pretty quick not to do that, though, so not a big issue.

Two handles, polemount, dual 1/4 and NL4 connectors all paralleled. Carpet looks good, no issues with cosmetics thus far.

Overall, these have performed exactly as I expected. I'm more careful about how I drive them with the amps I'm using, and I am using another box for drum fill these days.

I do have other more expensive cabs that I use for more upscale functions and/or artists. However, these very much fill the need for which they were purchased, and I'll probably get another couple of cabs when I get a chance.

YX12 or 2 way speaker that can not be biamp they're passive speakers with a rating of 200 watts also have speakon jacks and are carpet covered.

Passive 8 ohms @ 200 watts, non biamp, Yorkville standard 12" woofer, (Tweeter) Injection Modeled ABS type with a 1-inch Neodymium compression driver frequency range 70-20K crossed over at 1800 circuit protection CLT for horn driver Max SPL122 sensitivity 99dbs 1w@1m also constructed with 5/8" plywood and features 2 1/4" jacks and 2 speakon for daisy chaining.

These are used for monitor duties in our classic metal rock band and they sound a little harsh when pushed to the max but heck just every other that I have tried does the same when push to the max. The low end lacks that deep punch but then again their frequency range only goes down to 70hz so running bass guitar or a kick drum gonna lose a lot of it's low end punch. The mids and highs is where these shine at proper applications. The coverage is design at 90x30 which works perfect for our monitors. When operating these at the manufacturer's suggested rating of 200watts and EQ-ed properly these have no distortion and have plenty of SPL to operate at small to medium sized venues.

Since these are light weight only weighing in at 37lbs transporting is simple I can carry in both cabs at the same time. These do include a pole mount for 13/8 speaker stands.

I rate these at a 10 because of the price at 200$ each we were very impressed with their performance IMO these are the best bang for the buck monitors they out performed every other monitors in this price range they're worth every penny we paid for each cab. So if your on a tight budget like we were I would highly recommend theses for you weekend warrior bands out there. I do how ever suggest not to run low frequency instruments like drums and bass but for everything else these work fantastic and plenty of volume that's crystal clear when used with 31 band eq.
