AlNiCo Blue Dog 8 ohm speaker
12", 40oz AlNiCo magnet, 15, 30, 50, 75, or 100 watts,
1-3/4" voice coil, ribbed cone.
As with all Weber speakers, the higher the power rating, the warmer and smoother
the speaker.
The 15 watt is aggressive, bright, with a strong midrange crang. At the other end, the 100 watt is
warm, smooth, yet is detailed and clear with very good definition. The 75 and 100 watt models use very high temperature voice
coils that are the same weight and mass as the lower power voice coils. That ensures good attack and a broad frequency response
due to the low weight and mass of the voice coil assembly.
Try pairing this with a Silver Bell in a 2x12 combination. Great low end from the Silver Bell, while retaining
clarity and definition from the Blue Dog. (or a pair of each in a 4x12)
To order a Weber
with the break in service, order the speaker, then go to home page and select upgrades on the categories, Add $10.00
to your order with the Product Upgrade option.
Doping is the shiny goop you see on the surround of a speaker.
Besides extending the life of the surround, it also acts as a shock absorber to help keep the cone under control at higher
volumes. The downside is that it also dampens cone vibrations and therefore reduces the potential character and texture of
the speaker. If you are going to bend/sustain notes in the area above the 10th fret on the high E string and at high volumes
with heavy distortion, then you need the doping to help prevent ghost notes and cone cry that could result from the extreme
cone vibrations. Othewise, I would get the speaker undoped. Many players prefer the raw, undamped tone of the undoped speaker
and they learn to modulate their finger pressure when noting in the area that causes cone cry.
Pre-Rola Treatment
For this doping, the cone is artificially aged and chemically treated. Vibration dampner compound is also applied to the cone
body and surround.
