PRS 2x12 120W Open-Back Guitar Speaker Cabinet
PRS · cabinet
The PRS 2x12 120W Open-Back cabinet pairs two 12-inch speakers in an open-back enclosure, a design that lets more of the amp's natural resonance and low-end bloom escape into the room compared to a sealed or closed-back cabinet, at the cost of the tighter, more focused low end a closed design provides. Derek Trucks, whose slide-driven blues-rock tone depends on warmth and sustain translating clearly through the speaker, uses this PRS cabinet as part of his amplification setup, the open-back design suiting his preference for a more three-dimensional, room-filling sound over the punchier, more directional projection of a closed cabinet.
