Speaker Modelling

The sound of great amplifiers is due to the speaker as much as from the other components, yet until now no one has modelled an actual speaker driver alone, independently from the cabinet it is loaded into. Imagine having an empty 1x12 speaker cabinet that you can instantly load with any one of six classic speaker types (Vintage 30, Greenback, Creamback, P12Q, Swamp Thang, and Blue Bell) just by pressing a button. Speaker Modelling mode enables you to do just that - virtually - using a new technology developed by Line 6.

Custom Speaker

The Powercab features a custom hybrid coaxial speaker with a lightweight cone and a high-temperature 2" voice coil that delivers the punch and dynamic response you expect from a guitar speaker, along with the extended range of a PA speaker - a design which adds unparalleled authenticity to the sound and response of the speaker models.

Flat Mode

In Flat Mode, the Powercab 112 delivers a neutral frequency response from 70Hz to 20kHz with plenty of headroom. There is no need to adjust your modeller’s settings - your presets will sound just the way you expect them to.

Traditional Looks

In addition to sounding and responding like traditional guitar cabinets, Powercab guitar speaker systems also look the part. Unlike many other powered cabinets currently used with modellers, Powercabs don’t resemble PA speakers. Instead, they feature familiar touches such as stylish covering materials and grill cloths, as well as flip-out kickstands that allow them to be angled toward the performer, whether used in the backline or as a frontline monitor.

Gig-Ready

Sturdily constructed of plywood and featuring unique curved backs that add rigidity while decreasing weight, Powercabs are designed to withstand the rigors of the road. Weighing in at a gig-friendly 35 pounds (16 kilograms) and small enough to easily be carried with one hand, they are nonetheless loud enough to fill small clubs and medium-sized venues. Powercabs also feature XLR outputs with microphone emulation for feeding the FOH, and flip-out kickstands allow them to be angled toward the performer for additional onstage versatility.

User Impulse Response (IR) Support

The Powercab 112 Plus can load and store up to 128 third-party cabinet simulation impulse responses (IRs), which may be included in presets. IRs may be customised using the free Powercab Edit software for macOS and Windows (available at line6.com/software).

Presets

The Powercab 112 Plus allows you to store your complete speaker tone - consisting of the Mode in use (Flat, Speaker Modelling, or IR), its customisable display colour, and all parameter settings - in one of 128 preset locations. Presets may be selected manually or recalled via MIDI.

USB Audio

The Powercab 112 Plus functions as a 16-bit low-latency stereo USB 2.0 audio interface that is compatible with all major DAW software, as well as iPad and iPhone mobile devices. It supports both 44.1kHz and 48kHz sample rates. Note that connectivity with iPad and iPhone mobile devices requires an Apple Camera Connection Kit USB adapter (sold separately).

MIDI

The Powercab 112 Plus not only responds to MIDI Program Change messages, it also supports Control Change messages, allowing complete remote control over various global functions and settings, as well as extensive preset editing capabilities.

Digital I/O

The Powercab 112 Plus is also the only powered cabinet available with digital I/O. Connecting it to any professional modeller equipped with AES/EBU capabilities reduces both latency and noise levels by avoiding the necessity of digital to analog conversion.
