The only difference is that the output level for FRFR guitar in a rock band is usually much greater than the SPL for solo acoustic instruments - but this means that the Reality 112FR has the headroom to handle multiple acoustic instruments, vocals and even recorded music, making it a true gigging problem solver. Don't expect thunderous or massively deep lows (it isn't a bass cab) but it'll still give enough fatness for most full-range acoustic music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease skip the following if you just want to get to the specs or buy one - this is the story of why this cab is how it is:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not just a lightweight FRFR cab with classic styling - it's so much more! The Reality 112FR combines the might of Celestion's F12-X200 full-range live-response coaxial loudspeaker with an AVD enclosure and custom rear-firing tweeter \/ adjustable crossover, for the best possible reproduction of modelled\/profiled tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull Range Flat Response is not enough because this only describes steady state sound in one location. If you want \"high accuracy\" (and if you want to hear your digital magic then you really do) then you need the following:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate frequency response (aka FRFR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate polar response\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate transient response\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate dynamic response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the four critical links of sound reproduction. You may not know it but you WILL hear the weakest link - it's no good having \"perfect\" FRFR if the dynamic, transient or polar response is poor because the human ear is very good at hearing the deficiencies, not the best aspects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't our first FRFR cab, we've been doing this since Barefaced started out making radical high accuracy bass cabs. The Big Baby 2 and Big Twin 2 are already being used by bassists, keyboardists and guitarists who need to hear the truth of their tone, some through amps like Kempers. But the BB2 and BT2 have so much more low frequency depth and output than any guitarist needs, making them bigger, heavier and more expensive. So this is our first guitar specific FRFR cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe found that the F12-X200's coaxial 12\" driver and tweeter with integrated crossover made for a great-sounding, efficient and elegant starting point but how it was used made a big difference in the resulting sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eF12-X200\u003c\/strong\u003e in a closed cab does a good job of frequency response but polar response isn't so good further off-axis. Transient response is good too but dynamic response is limited at lower frequencies like with louder or chunkier rhythm guitar work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eF12-X200\u003c\/strong\u003e in an open cab will do slightly better with polar response but worse frequency response; transient response will still be good but dynamic response will really struggle when playing louder chords, low notes, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother option is a speaker like the F12-X200 but \u003cstrong\u003ewithout the coaxial tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e (using DSP to boost the higher frequencies where the cone's treble output is dropping). This can achieve the target frequency response and transient response, the dynamic response will be similar although more demanding on amps (causing clipping at high SPL) but most importantly the polar response will be very poor at higher frequencies. However it's far less expensive than having a coaxial speaker with a crossover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eF12-X200 in an AVD\u003c\/strong\u003e cab achieves good frequency, transient and dynamic response with much improved polar response up to the upper midrange \/ lower treble region. However testing showed that improving the polar response higher up made a huge difference in real world situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding a \u003cstrong\u003erear-firing tweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e with its own custom crossover to coherently combine with the AVD's ouput makes the polar response a near perfect figure 8, which gives you incredibly consistent tone wherever you're listening from. It's almost surreal to hear the improvement in audibility from turning up the tweeter control, considering that tweeter is firing away from you!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003e(H x W x D)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm x 45cm x 31cm\u003cbr\u003e16\" x 18\" x 12\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.5kg \/ 21lbs passive - 10.5kg \/ 23lbs Activier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnclosure design\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAVD-8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eRMS power handling\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpeakers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCelestion F12-X200 + Eminence APT80\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarefaced AVD-8 enclosure for superior audibility, efficiency, power handling and truly accurate FRFR sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelestion F12-X200 coaxial 12\" 2-way driver - \"Full Range Live Response\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-firing Eminence APT80 tweeter with custom 4th order crossover for radically improved clarity and tonal accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent adjustment of rear-firing tweeter for acoustic correction in real rooms on real gigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC machined dual-density plywood construction - better tone, gig tough, lower weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle top strap handle - low profile to fit under amps; steel core, brackets, bolts and t-nuts for durablity; replaceable chrome trim for aesthetics; rubber sleeve for comfort; nylon washers to add friction and damping to ensure it remains rattle free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber feet on base - medium compound to damp vibration and add stability, tall enough to clear another handle if stacking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual combi 1\/4” + speakon sockets - use standard 1\/4\" leads, or have a locking speakon on the cab end which you can leave locked in place during transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo grill cloth options: Deep Black or Bright Silver, with white piping\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo tolex options: British Raging Green or Black In Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom tolex or grill cloth also available - extra cost, subject to availability, longer lead times likely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Szc9h2tPpdY?si=w2gG6QGoQX5k7LHc\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is an \"FRFR\" guitar cab and what is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull Range Flat Response guitar cabs were created so guitarists using modelling amps (as originally popularised by Line6) could hear the true sound of their modelled amp AND cabs - rather than hear the sound of the guitar speaker they were using. So the earliest FRFR cabs were simply little PA speakers as they have reasonably FRFR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Reality 112FR different?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Barefaced we know that FRFR is not enough - we want TRUE SONIC ACCURACY. That means not only frequency response but also polar response, transient response and dynamic response. No other FRFR guitar cab on the market properly addresses all four aspects of tonal accuracy. In your bedroom, sitting right in front of the speaker you'll notice it feels more 3D, like you're surrounded by tone with so much presence without harshness - but take it to a rehearsal or gig and you, your bandmates and your audience will be blown away by how well they hear you, not louder but just THERE in the mix, wherever they're standing. And that creates a virtuous circle of performance, where the whole band ends up playing better and making better music. This is about making music, not just reproducing it like in the world of hi-fi!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow can this be a guitar cab and an acoustic instrument cab too?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRFR guitar cabs do not sound like normal guitar cabs - a normal guitar speaker has limited bandwidth and large amounts of colouration (i.e. distortion) which filters the sound of an electric guitar through an amp giving the tones we all know and love. An FRFR speaker is fed a modelled sound like those that come from guitar speakers, so there is no need for the speaker to add another layer of colour. It's a bit like cooking - if the chef has already added the seasonings, herbs and spices and then you add the same again at the table it won't taste good. With modelled sound including speaker and cabinet emulation you want the actual loudspeaker to simply turn that electrical signal into acoustic sound without changing it, not adding more spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you want to hear an acoustic instrument louder then you need to put a mic or piezo pickup on it, maybe add some EQ to help and then turn that up loud with a clean amplifier through a really honest sounding speaker. And in an ideal world you want that speaker to be omnidirectional, filling the room with sound just like an acoustic guitar does - just like the Reality 112FR!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is an AVD-8 enclosure and what does it do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Augmented Vent Diffractor - Figure 8\" is the latest patented technology from Barefaced Audio. It improves low frequency efficiency and power handling whilst reducing distortion, generates rear-firing midrange output with even response and broad dispersion and integrates a phase coherent rear tweeter. The end result is highly accurate response from both front and rear of the loudspeaker, giving incredibly \"real\" live sound and outstanding resistance to the problems caused by noisy bandmates or difficult room acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AVD-8 enclosure work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis may take a while to get your head around! At lower frequencies the slot and horn acts as a Helmholtz resonator, like a reflex port. Above these frequencies the slot allows midrange and treble frequencies through, diffracting them sideways for improved dispersion, with the horn panels improving acoustic coupling with the room.\u003cbr\u003eIf the AVD worked like a horn then output through most of the midrange and all of the treble bandwidth would be minimal (because in a horn the air masses in the coupling chamber, throat and horn act as an acoustic inductance with a low pass effect). Fortunately the AVD system instead allows good response into the lower treble region but that leaves a few octaves missing from the rearwards output for many guitar sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AVD-8 system therefore has a high output low distortion tweeter mounted on the rear baffle This tweeter is crossed over where the 12\" driver's rearward output rolls off, which is over an octave lower than its forwards output. The tweeter thus takes over the rearward output throughout the whole treble bandwidth, which is only possible due to the very steep crossover slope protecting the diaphragm from over excursion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne other clear acoustic benefit of the AVD-8 enclosure is in how it controls internal reflections and standing waves compared to a conventional cuboid-shaped guitar cab. The angled AVD panels and asymmetric baffle measurably reduce the amount of internally reflected sound that manages to escape through the cone interfering with the original tone, often causing conventional guitar cabs to literally sound \"boxy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the near-omnidirectional figure 8 response affect both acoustic and electric feedback?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the almost magical abilities of the AVD-8 enclosure is that to your ears it has very broad dispersion but to your guitar it has much more controlled dispersion. This is due to the psycho-acoustic phenomenon known as \"precedence effect\", whereby the brain combines near-identical sounds even if they're coming from different locations, as long as the delay between the two sounds is less than ~50ms. Consequently your brain hears the rear output as it reflects off room boundaries and miraculously combines it with the front output, hugely improving audibility, but that delayed sound has a less strong effect in acoustically generating guitar feedback. No conventional cab is as easy for lead guitarists to coax singing feedback from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously with acoustic instruments you don't \"play\" with feedback like with an electric guitar but feedback is certainly a big issue. If you crank your acoustic guitar, violin, cello, etc up super loud through the Reality 112FR just like a wailing lead guitarist then you will run into the usual feedback problems and have to flip phase, use notch filters etc. But if you're not going so crazy and just turning up normal acoustic gig loud then the narrower forwards dispersion and broader rearwards dispersion will result in greater feedback resistance at a given level of perceived loudness than any conventional cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the tweeter control do and what is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tweeter control independently adjusts the level of the rear-firing tweeter - note that this tweeter is crossed over very low, as much as two octaves below where a tweeter on a typical guitar FRFR cab might be, so it has a big sonic affect as it deals with the full treble bandwidth and what many guitarists will also consider their upper midrange tone. This gives a unique dimension of acoustic control, so in a very bright sounding room with lots of hard surfaces you may keep it turned down low whilst in a more acoustically dead room you'll turn it up more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is particularly valuable when playing smaller venues where your guitar cab is providing the house guitar sound or the bleed from the stage is loud out front, especially in terms of how the sound changes between soundcheck in an empty room and a packed gig - humans are very efficient acoustic absorbers. Simply turn up the tweeter control and bring that clarity and liveliness back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith acoustic instruments of all kinds, turning up the rear-firing tweeter will not just add audibility but more importantly make the sound far more 'acoustic'. Instruments acoustically radiate sound in all directions and that is one of the main reasons why the vibe and character of an unplugged acoustic is so different to hearing it through a typical \"acoustic\" amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is \"CNC machined dual-density plywood\" construction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2008 Barefaced pioneered the use of unconventional plywood, bracing and assembly techniques within the guitar and bass amp industry. For more than a decade we've continued to develop our enclosure designs, for the best possible sound through management of internal reflections for clear detailed mids and highs, and rigid non-resonant enclosures for tight controlled lows. This method of extensive bracing and calculated reinforcement allows us to make the cabinets incredibly low in weight but tough enough to gig for a lifetime. Since 2012 they've been precisely machined using our own CNC mill and then hand assembled in our Brighton factory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barefaced Audio","offers":[{"title":"UK \/ Black - Silver \/ Passive (original Reality 112FR)","offer_id":31761347444821,"sku":"RE-G-1402","price":849.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK \/ Black -

200W amp module for AVD cabs and One10(T)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNEW! The Activier has proven to be so potent and cool-running that we can now fit it to our One10 or One10T bass cabs. It requires a unique enclosure so as with the guitar cabs, it can't be retrofitted.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're confused by the extra toggle switches you may have seen on some Activiers out in the wild, they replace the HF control knob on the back of a Reality 112FR or One10T, giving four simple settings of loudness for the rear tweeter on the Reality or the front tweeter on the One10T.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant your new AVD cab to have its own amp built in? Have the choice of using it with any valve amp or running straight from your pedalboard? Mono or stereo? 200W RMS per channel into 4 ohms for max SPL or hold it back to 50W into 16 ohms for safe use with speakers rated as low as 20W.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\"It's pronounced ACT-EE-VY-ER\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou lucky lucky guitarists! We might have started working on the electronics for our first bass amp in 2017 but the skinny stringers are the first to get a Barefaced amp product! We've combined a really nice preamp design which is super clean and accurate with a crazy efficient amp module. This miracle of tone (or maybe absence of tone?) and power has been squeezed into a tiny package that fits into every single AVD guitar cab we make, right from the tiny Upsetter 110 to the bassist-scaring Upsizing 215.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two choices for the Activier - the 1 (single channel, i.e. mono), and the 2 (dual channel, i.e. stereo). The Activier 1 has a single input, single gain knob, and single external speakon for an extension speaker. The Activier 2 has two inputs, two gain knobs and two external speakons. Logical!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the preamp may appear very simple (it's just one jack and one knob per channel!) it's actually rather clever. Although we expect 99.9% of you to plug a pedalboard, modeller or other bit of outboard kit into the Activier, you can actually plug your guitar straight in without suffering tone suck or noise. And that one knob controls a preamp which can reduce the signal down to zero (minus infinity dB gain) or increase the level by 30dB (which is a lot!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard configuration for an Activier cab is that we connect the power amp to the speaker internally, just like in many combos. But if you want even more flexibility you can choose \"With speaker inputs\", so we also install our usual rear dish\/inputs and provide a jumper lead to go between the Activier's external speaker out and the passive inputs. Yes, this one cab can be both your active modeling solution for super convenient gigging and also the studio tone monster with your beloved tube amp!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Activier 2 can be fitted to any of our AVD cabs, you don't need to choose a two speaker model. If it's fitted to a single driver cab like a Reformer 112, Channel 2 is not wired internally but sends signal to Speaker Output 2 for you to connect another cab - so you have a stereo set-up with the Activier cab as your master, and any other cab as your slave. And with the Activier 2 module, if you only plug something into Input 1, Channel 2 is automatically slaved from that signal. Plug into Input 2 and then it drives Channel 2 separately. You can even choose to have a dual driver Barefaced AVD cab fitted with an Activier 2 but still wired mono, keeping the second channel for your slave cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd as with all of our cabs, you can choose from a cornucopia of different guitar drivers to suit your tonal and loudness needs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower? 200W per channel into 4 ohms, 100W\/ch into 8, 50W\/ch into 16. We'll work with you on choosing the right driver and the best impedance for that driver to give you the amp output\/headroom you need while minimising the risk of blowing things up on a loud gig (it's far less of an issue than with valve amps).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActivier 1 = 694g \/ 1.5lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003eActivier 2 = 775g \/ 1.7lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWeight increase for Activier 2 vs passive AVD guitar cab = 600g \/ 1.3lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e(Standard guitar backplate weight = 175g \/ 0.4lbs)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barefaced Audio","offers":[{"title":"UK \/ Mono (1 channel 200W) \/ No (active cab only)","offer_id":45890545221912,"sku":"","price":499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK \/ Mono (1 channel 200W) \/ Yes (cab can also be used as a passive cab)","offer_id":47150841069848,"sku":"","price":599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK \/ Stereo (2 channel 200+200W) \/ No (active cab only)","offer_id":45890545254680,"sku":"","price":649.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK \/ Stereo (2 channel 200+200W) \/ Yes (cab can also be used as a passive cab)","offer_id":47150841102616,"sku":"","price":749.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Everywhere else \/ Mono (1 channel 200W) \/ No (active cab only)","offer_id":45890545287448,"sku":"","price":419.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Everywhere else \/ Mono (1 channel 200W) \/ Yes (cab can also be used as a passive cab)","offer_id":47150841135384,"sku":"","price":499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Everywhere else \/ Stereo (2 channel 200+200W) \/ No (active cab only)","offer_id":45890545320216,"sku":"","price":539.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Everywhere else \/ Stereo (2 channel 200+200W) \/ Yes (cab can also be used as a passive cab)","offer_id":47150841168152,"sku":"","price":619.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3094\/3290\/files\/back-square.png?v=1716560998"}],"url":"https:\/\/barefacedaudio.com\/collections\/frfr-active.oembed","provider":"Barefaced Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
