Scholz Sugar Cone P-1 12” Guitar Speaker

 

The Scholz SugarCone P-1 is a groundbreaking addition to the SugarCone lineup, offering a Plain Cone Edition that provides a completely different response from traditional guitar speakers. While the original SugarCone featured ribbed cones, the P-1 utilizes a smooth, plain cone, which enhances fidelity, increases note definition, and delivers a more transparent, uncolored tone. This design is commonly found in hi-fi and PA systems, and now, for the first time, it’s available in a dedicated guitar speaker—a must-have for players seeking pure, uncompromised tone.

Key Features:

• Plain Cone Design: Unlike ribbed cones, the smooth surface of the P-1 eliminates natural cone breakup, resulting in a more detailed and open sound with exceptional clarity.

• Enhanced Frequency Response: Particularly focused in the 2kHz range, the P-1 excels in articulation, transient accuracy, and note separation, making it ideal for players who need pristine definition.

• Hi-Fi & PA Influence: Inspired by high-fidelity and PA speaker designs, the P-1 delivers a more accurate representation of your guitar’s tone, with less speaker coloration and compression.

• 2-Inch Voice Coil: Engineered for stability, reliability, and superior projection, the P-1’s 2” voice coil ensures consistent performance at any volume.

• Versatile Application: Perfect for clean tones, articulate overdrive, and even high-gain settings, the P-1 adapts to a variety of playing styles and amp configurations.
