Blackstar Debut 212V Vertical 100-Watt 2 x 12-inch Extension Cabinet, Cream
The Debut 212V is the extension cabinet built to sit under a Blackstar Debut 100RH head. It is a vertical 2 x 12-inch design, which means it puts one speaker closer to ear height on stage rather than firing both at the back of your knees, and the whole rig takes up less floor space than a wide cab.
- Made for the Debut 100RH: purpose built to pair with Blackstar's Debut 100RH amplifier head.
- 100W power rating with 2 x 12-inch Blackstar Anthem 50 speakers, giving a rock ready roar with rich midrange, clear lows and well defined highs.
- Open back design: an open, enveloping sound with a clear bass response.
- 4 and 16 ohm inputs: accommodates a variety of different heads, so it is not locked to one amp.
- Matching looks: the same colours and basket weave grilles as the companion Debut amplifier heads.
Vertical stacking also keeps the head at a sensible height for reaching the controls mid set.
Purpose made to pair with Blackstar's Debut 100RH amplifier head, the Debut 212V dishes out a stage shaking degree of Blackstar firepower. It is an extension cabinet rather than a powered amp, so it needs a head to drive it, and the vertical format is the point of difference.
Why vertical
A vertical 2 x 12-inch cabinet stands the two speakers one above the other instead of side by side. On a cramped stage that halves the width the cab occupies, and it lifts the upper speaker closer to your ears, which makes it easier to judge your own volume without cranking. Stacked with a Debut 100RH on top, the controls also end up at a height you can actually reach between songs.
Speakers and voicing
The 212V houses two of Blackstar's 12-inch Anthem 50 speakers with a 100W power rating. Together they kick out a rock ready roar with rich midrange, clear lows and well defined highs. The open back design delivers an open, enveloping sound that makes the most of the Debut 100RH's hard hitting voice, spreading the sound in the room rather than beaming it straight forward.
Impedance options
- 4 ohm and 16 ohm inputs to accommodate a variety of different heads.
- Works as a straightforward extension cab for tonal experimentation with heads other than the Debut 100RH.
- 100W power rating and 2 x 12-inch speakers for a stage ready level of punch and projection.
Finish
The 212V comes in captivating colours with basket weave grilles chosen to match the companion amplifier heads, so a full Debut stack looks like it was meant to go together. This one is the cream finish.
