The Riot-12 delivers professional live sound performance for bands, DJs, and venues that need reliable PA power without the professional price tag. This powered 12" speaker combines a built-in mixer, Bluetooth connectivity, and DSP processing in one compact cabinet.

With 500W RMS power (400W to the woofer, 100W to the compression driver), the Riot-12 handles small to medium venues with authority. The 12" woofer features a 30 oz magnet and 2.5" voice coil for tight low-end response, while the 1.35" titanium compression driver delivers clear vocals and instruments across a wide dispersion pattern.

The frequency response spans 50Hz to 20kHz with 93dB sensitivity, producing a maximum SPL of 122dB — enough headroom for live drums and energetic crowds. The built-in DSP offers 48kHz/24-bit processing with crossover at 2.3kHz and less than 0.05% THD. True Wireless Stereo connectivity lets you link two units wirelessly for stereo operation.

Handle bar gigs up to 200 people, club DJ sets, church services, or outdoor events with confidence. The angled cabinet design works equally well as a main PA speaker on a pole mount or floor monitor for stage performers.

Connect microphones, instruments, or line sources via dual XLR/TRS combo inputs, plus stream directly from your phone via Bluetooth. The built-in 2-channel mixer includes individual volume controls and LED display. ABS construction with textured coating handles transport and outdoor use.

Seismic Audio backs every Riot-12 with a one-year warranty and ships nationwide. Professional-grade components at a price that works for working musicians.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size venue can the Riot-12 handle?

The Riot-12 works well for indoor venues up to 200 people or outdoor events up to 150 people. With 500W RMS power and 122dB max SPL, it provides enough headroom for live bands, DJ sets, and speaking events in bars, clubs, small theaters, and church sanctuaries. For larger crowds or outdoor festivals, consider pairing with a subwoofer or using multiple units.

What cables do I need to connect my equipment?

You'll need XLR or TRS cables to connect microphones, mixers, or instruments to the dual combo inputs. The speaker includes an XLR male output for daisy-chaining to additional speakers. For wireless audio, simply pair your phone or tablet via Bluetooth — no additional cables required for streaming music or backing tracks.

Can I use this as a floor monitor for performers?

Yes, the Riot-12's angled cabinet design makes it ideal for both PA and monitor use. Place it on the floor angled toward performers, or mount it on a speaker pole for main PA duties. The wide dispersion horn ensures even coverage whether used horizontally as a monitor or vertically as a main speaker.

Do I need a subwoofer with the Riot-12?

For most applications, the 12" woofer provides sufficient bass response down to 50Hz. However, if you're playing bass-heavy music, running a full band with bass guitar and kick drum, or want that deep sub-bass thump for DJ sets, adding a powered subwoofer will enhance the low-end impact and allow the Riot-12 to focus on mids and highs.

How does the True Wireless Stereo feature work?

TWS lets you wirelessly connect two Riot-12 speakers for true stereo operation. Pair your audio source to the master speaker via Bluetooth, and it automatically sends the stereo signal wirelessly to the second speaker. This eliminates the need for audio cables between speakers while maintaining full stereo separation for music playback or DJ performances.
