Marshall MX212AR, USED

The Marshall MX212AR is a 2x12" vertical speaker cabinet that delivers a powerful and articulate tone in a compact, easy-to-handle format. Designed to pair seamlessly with a range of Marshall heads, particularly smaller wattage models like the Marshall Origin and DSL series, this cabinet is perfect for players who want a big, full sound without the bulk of a 4x12 cab. The vertical design also raises the speakers closer to ear level, which can help with monitoring during live performances or practice sessions.

Fitted with two Celestion Seventy-80 speakers, the MX212AR produces a balanced tonal profile that delivers the classic Marshall warmth, punchy mids, and tight low end. These speakers are known for their crisp highs and a well-defined bass response, making them suitable for a wide range of genres, from blues and classic rock to more modern, high-gain styles. The combination of these speakers and the cab’s open-back design provides a responsive, dynamic sound that fills the room while retaining excellent clarity and definition.

The MX212AR’s vertical orientation not only contributes to better projection but also makes it a convenient option for smaller stages or rehearsal rooms where space is limited. It offers 160 watts of power handling, ensuring it can take on anything from lower wattage amps to higher output heads while maintaining a clear and rich tone. The construction is robust, featuring durable tolex covering, reinforced corners, and a stylish black grille cloth that embodies the classic Marshall aesthetic.

With its lightweight design and high-quality sound, the Marshall MX212AR is a versatile cabinet that appeals to guitarists looking for a portable solution without compromising on tone or power. Whether used at home, in the studio, or on stage, this cab delivers the kind of classic Marshall character and reliability that musicians have trusted for decades. It’s a solid choice for players who want the sonic depth of a 2x12 cab with the convenience and manageability of a more compact format.
