Product Description

The 16 ohm Black Label (as well as the 16 ohm EVM12L Classic-16) are discontinued without a replacement due to ElectroVoice's inability to find a new supplier for some of its parts. Audio-Depot has a limited number available. A 16 ohm speaker is much easier on your amp than an 8 ohm speaker. The lower the ohms, the harder your amp has to work. Every time you add another speaker you are cutting in half the ohm load that your amp sees. So 2x 16 ohm speakers = an 8 ohm load on your amp. 2x 8ohm speakers would be a 4 ohm load on your amp. Most amps are not made to operate below 2 or 4 ohms but they will do it for awhile... until they overheat and burn up! Built to capture his tone and withstand his abuse, the EVM12L Black Label is endorsed by Zakk Wylde as well as the Black Label Society. System Power Handling (continuous/program/peak): 300/600/1200 Watts. The original EVM12L 12" loudspeaker was introduced in 1983. Known for its huge tone, gorgeous low-end and incredible stability at extreme volumes, it quickly achieved legendary status. Top guitarists and bassists loved it not only for its sound, but also for its reliability. Tour after tour, the EVM 12L held up to the demands of the most punishing players. Enter the EVM-12L Black Label, the official guitar loudspeaker of Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society. Take the EVM-12L, add Zakk's personal specs (improved power handling, improved magnet design, better venting, and the Black Label colors), and now you have the greatest guitar loudspeaker in the world. Wanna argue with Zakk on that? I didn't think so.

Electro Voice EVM12L Black Label Guitar Speaker (12 Inch, 300 Watts/1200 watts peak, 16 Ohms) Review

I know, I know - a lot of guitarists - esp. blues, hard rock, and metal players - hunt for the speaker that "breaks up" just right... yet the EVM12L has quite a following, considering its amazing power handling means it doesn't add its own grit to your tone. So "clean" players love 'em, but many hard rockers have embraced the 12L. I've been playing for 36 years, hundreds of gigs under my belt, and I've tried all sorts of gear... but I keep coming back to the pair of 12L's I bought USED in 1978.

They're mammoth things - the magnet alone weights 16 pounds (!) and it's attached to a cast aluminum basket. A 2x12 cab with 'em needs wheels. They're pricey - really pricey. But that sound...

The thing about the 12L to me? I call them "b*tch slap" speakers. There's something about how responsive they are at a decent volume level - a hard hitting chord or note just seems to "thwack" you in the face. I recorded some tracks in the 90's that had sort of a hard, U2 vibe. At the time, one of my 12L's was in a garbage slant monitor cab, powered by a Peavey Classic 30 and mic'd with a Sure 57. To this day, the opening chords of that recording are one of the best sounds I ever achieved - as are the backing tracks and the solo. People use the word "punchy", but this tune punches you in the jaw. Today, I have one 12L in a small cab for my studio, and one in a 2x12 cab (along with a 70's vintage JBL K120 pulled from an old Fender Twin... keeps the weight down!), powered by an Egnater Tweaker head. Tone heaven.

I dunno - it's not like you can grab a pair of these, install them into your cab, and test drive 'em with your rig. They're not for everybody, but if you can find a way to try your amp and setup through a 12L loaded cabinet - at stage volume levels - give it a shot and see if the grin on your face is as big as mine.
