Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Passive 12-inch two-way cabinet built to work as a floor wedge or on a pole. For bands and DJs who already own an amplifier.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Stage monitor duty for a vocalist or small band
  • Mains for small rooms, 50 to 150 people
  • Rigs where the amp lives in a rack, not the box

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone wanting plug-and-play; there is no built-in amp
  • Full-range playback that needs deep bass on its own
  • Solo performers wanting the lightest possible one-trip load

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

8 ohms, 300W continuous

Passive. You need an external power amp. Two of these on one channel drops to 4 ohms; check your amp handles that.

Detail 02

95 dB sensitivity

How loud it plays per watt. Lower sensitivity means you lean harder on the amp to reach the same level.

Detail 03

126 dB peak SPL

Loud enough for a bar band or a small hall. Not a stadium box, and not something you push flat out all night.

Detail 04

62 Hz to 19 kHz response

Covers vocals, guitars and keys cleanly. Kick and bass lose their bottom octave, so add a sub for those.

Detail 05

90 x 50 degree coverage

Wide horizontally, narrow vertically. Aim it at ear height; people above or below the pattern hear less top end.

Detail 06

35 lb, monitor-angled cabinet

One-hand carry for most people and it lies on its side as a wedge without extra hardware.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No amplifier, no speaker cable, no pole or stand included
  2. 02Budget for a power amp before you budget for a second cabinet
  3. 03Monitor use needs a separate mix send from your console

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does it have a built-in amplifier?

No. It is a passive cabinet rated at 8 ohms, 300W continuous. You drive it from an external power amp or a powered mixer.

02Can I use it as a floor monitor?

Yes. The cabinet is shaped to sit on its side as a wedge, and it also mounts on a speaker pole for main duty.

03Do I need a subwoofer?

For vocals, acoustic and DJ background, no. For kick drum, bass guitar or club-level dance music, add a sub; response falls off below 62 Hz.

04How big a room will one cover?

A pair handles small clubs and rooms of roughly 50 to 150 people. Larger rooms need more boxes or a bigger system.
