SVT ® -112AV or SVT-212AV Speaker Cabinet, Quick Start Guide.
Introduction
The Ampeg SVT®-112AV and SVT-212AV bass cabinets deliver unmistakable Ampeg
tone in rugged, ported cabinet designs that bridge the gap between the fast
transient response you want and the rich low end you deserve.
The authentic Ampeg round sound is provided courtesy of stamped frame ceramic
12″ Eminence speakers. The lightweight, yet road-worthy, professional grade
cabinets are made of 15 mm poplar plywood, have a ported design, vintage AV
style cosmetics, and the classic Ampeg clamshell logo.
The rear panel control features two 1/4″ inputs wired in parallel for flexible
patching capabilities. Also included is a 3-way level control that allows you
to control how much signal you want to pass on to the HF horn.
Rated at 300W RMS power handling at 8 Ω, the SVT-112AV is a great match with
the PF-350 or MICRO-VR amplifiers, or for integrating with other Ampeg
cabinets into a single rig. The SVT-212AV is a 4 Ω cab rated at 600W RMS. This
is perfect for the latest V-4B, along with other amplifier heads, like the
SVT-CL, SVT-VR or PF-500.
In order to get the most out of your new cabinet, please read this manual, as
well as the Important Safety Instructions included with your SVT-112AV or SVT-
212AV cabinet, before you begin playing. Best of luck in all of your musical
endeavors!

You can optionally utilize the unused jack as an output/through jack to connect a second speaker cabinet in parallel. -
