AlNiCo Silver Bell 8 ohm speaker
12", 40oz AlNiCo magnet, 15, 30, 50, 75, or 100 watts,
1-3/4" voice coil, ribbed cone.
Big low end, compressed high volume rock and roll tone, reminiscent of the classic
Marshall stack tone. As with all Weber speakers, the higher the power rating, the warmer and smoother the speaker. The 15
watt is aggressive, bright, with a complex and textured midrange and upper midrange bite. At the other end, the 100 watt is
warm, smooth, yet is detailed and clear with very good definition. As with the Blue Dog, 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 assures 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.
