Magma-212-PW - Premium Active Dual 12" 2-Way Bi-Amp Loudspeaker Cabinet
The Magma-212-PW delivers professional-grade sound reinforcement for venues requiring serious low-end extension and power handling. This dual 12" active speaker cabinet combines two high-performance woofers with bi-amplified power distribution, making it the go-to choice for bands, DJs, and sound companies handling mid-to-large venue productions.
Built around dual 12" drivers with 50 oz magnets and 3" voice coils, the Magma-212-PW pushes 800 watts RMS through a Class AB bi-amp system. The 1.375" titanium compression driver handles high frequencies through a 90° x 60° coverage horn, delivering balanced sound distribution across the venue floor.
The bi-amplified design separates power delivery at 800 Hz and 2.5 kHz crossover points, allowing each driver to operate in its optimal range. With 120 dB maximum SPL capability and frequency response extending down to 45 Hz, this cabinet handles bass-heavy music without losing clarity in the mids and highs. The 100 dB sensitivity rating ensures efficient power conversion and strong output levels.
This speaker excels in venues accommodating 200-400 people, from music venues and festivals to corporate events and house of worship applications. The twelve M10 flying points enable permanent installation or suspended deployment for distributed sound coverage.
Input connectivity includes XLR and 1/4" combo jack with mic input and XLR output for daisy-chaining additional speakers. The MDF enclosure features side pocket handles for transport, though the 83.5-pound weight typically requires two-person lifting.
Seismic Audio backs the Magma-212-PW with a one-year warranty and fast shipping. Professional power handling meets accessible pricing for sound reinforcement applications demanding both output and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size venue can the Magma-212-PW cover effectively?
The Magma-212-PW handles venues accommodating 200-400 people with its 120 dB maximum SPL output and 90° x 60° coverage pattern. The dual 12" configuration provides strong low-frequency extension down to 45 Hz, making it suitable for music venues, corporate events, and house of worship applications. For outdoor events, expect coverage for 150-300 people depending on ambient noise and desired volume levels.
What cables do I need to connect the Magma-212-PW to my mixer?
You can connect using either XLR or 1/4" cables from your mixer's main outputs to the combo jack inputs on each speaker. The XLR output allows daisy-chaining to additional speakers without requiring a separate distribution system. The dedicated 1/4" mic input accepts direct microphone connection if needed for simple applications.
Do I need a subwoofer with the Magma-212-PW speakers?
The dual 12" drivers extend down to 45 Hz, providing substantial low-frequency output for most live sound applications without requiring a separate subwoofer. However, for bass-heavy electronic music, hip-hop, or applications requiring extreme low-end extension below 40 Hz, adding a dedicated subwoofer will enhance the overall system response. The crossover points at 800 Hz and 2.5 kHz are optimized for full-range operation.
Can the Magma-212-PW be permanently installed or flown?
Yes, the twelve M10 flying points enable permanent installation and suspended deployment using appropriate rigging hardware. The flying points are rated for the 83.5-pound cabinet weight plus safety factors required for overhead installation. Always consult with qualified rigging professionals for permanent installation to ensure proper load calculations and safety compliance.
How does the bi-amp design benefit sound quality compared to passive speakers?
The built-in Class AB bi-amp system separates power delivery to the woofers and compression driver at optimized crossover points (800 Hz and 2.5 kHz), allowing each driver to operate in its most efficient frequency range. This eliminates passive crossover losses and provides more precise control over frequency response compared to traditional passive designs. The 800-watt RMS power rating delivers consistent output without requiring external amplification.
