“I’m always looking for that elusive, perfect bass tone. A cab that that gives me clarity in any situation, presence in the shape of big, powerful lows, punchy mids, a sweet top end, and power handling to make sure I can use a powerful amp to let my tone “breathe”. After years, decades, of searching, I have found that cab. With its small footprint, light weight, and 4 ohm impedance, that cab is called the Bergantino CN212.” Gareth Morgan, UK
“I just picked up a CN212 from BassClub Chicago about two weeks ago to pair with my vintage Demeter VTBP-201 with the internal Mini 800D power amp and I just wanted to say that, I have spent over twenty years of my life searching for a cabinet and rig that combines the razor-sharp crispness and punch of a DI into studio quality monitors with the warmth and room filling wollup of a great floor standing bass amp. The CN212 comes closer to that holy-grail than anything I have ever used or experienced. ” Thank you – Matthew Guski, Chicago
“Jim Bergantino, Thanks for an absolutely awesome speaker system. Bought a HD410. Pushing it with an Aguilar 500. Never thought in 40 years of playing bass I could get the sound I wanted till I paired these two together.”
“Jim, thank you for producing the CN212. I went to Willies and tried the cabinet. I was blown away, as you predicted. After I got the CN212 home, the pleasant surprises kept on coming. The cabinet is very good at producing rapid-fire notes and very articulate notes. I practice regularly and play the same songs repeatedly. In one song, the same note is played rapidly and then in one measure it switches to four different notes in a row. With the old rig, the four notes sounded muddy. With the CN212, they were four distinct, melodic notes! Another classic-rock song has a half step slide to a note. It never sounded like I remember the song on the radio. It was harsh; I experimented with my technique, without success. The first time I played the song through the CN212, the slide sounded “right” and beautiful. In another song, there is an interval that is like a short exclamation mark. It had an unpleasant honk sound. With the CN212, it sounded correct. The tone was more pleasant and both notes were defined. I’ve been sharing these opinions with Nathan and the guys at Willies. Here’s one more; if you have an opinion, please respond. With the CN212 and an Orange Bass Terror 500, it feels like I have more time to play the note and I have more ability to change the sound of the note. I practice with an IPAD app that has adjustable tempo, so I am not merely slowing down to enjoy the good tone! 120bpm is really 120bpm! It seems as if the attack portion of the note is quicker and requires less effort. It seems as if I hear the note while my fingers are still on the string and can then put a little feeling into it before the next note. Nathan seems to understand. Is there an engineering term and explanation for this phenomena? Or is it just the psychological effect of spending money on nice gear???!!! Thanks again for the great cabinet.” Sincerely, Mark Bosshard
“I purchased my Bergantino NV610 in 2006. Six years later it is still my favorite piece of equipment. Bergantino’s cabinets are light years ahead of all the others. Don’t even waste your time shopping around. Just buy a Bergantino. ” -Chad
“I originally bought an AE410 about 4 years ago, and loved it so much I bought a matching 2 10…then another….and now last year an additional AE410 its a beautiful wall of Berg’ AE’s and as I read through the comments on your site, with the glowing reviews, I am only going to repeat what others have said. For me- punch, clarity, top, bottom, mid, and the true sound of your bass and head are what Berg delivers, pure audiophile bliss, and the ability to take a heavy load for years!) I play via HL 1000, MBT800, and MB SA450, so these power my AE wall – no speaker fatigue, light, loud, with a great bite and growl, punch, and clank…using Dingwall, Ricks, Fenders, Fretless’ galore, every bass sounds like it was meant to. Your cab’s make me love my basses more! I can’t wait to hear the new CN series when they get to my neck of the woods! ”
