Bergantino Celebrates Classic Bass Tone with Reference II Series Cabinets

Bergantino Audio Systems has revamped its Reference Series with the Reference II lineup to include a 1×12” cabinet and an all-new 1×15” cabinet. Similar to the previous models released in 2017, the Reference II cabs pay homage to the original sounds of bass amplification with ceramic speakers.

“With a new look and utilizing ceramic magnets, the Reference Series epitomizes the technology that bass tone was built on for more than half a century,” the company writes. “To help these new cabinets enjoy the highest ratio of ‘pound’ per pound without compromising the tone and performance of ceramic-based speakers, we utilized a lighter weight, poplar ply shell while maintaining our Baltic Birch baffle for an unyieldingly solid bass tone with a prodigious amount of presence and warmth in the low end.”

The Bergantino Reference II Series 112 weighs in at 36 pounds while offering 350 watts RMS. In addition to its 12-inch ceramic woofer with vented pole pieces, it has a high-intelligibility compression driver with a constant directivity horn. The 115 ups the power to 400 watts while weighing 46 pounds. It forgoes the extra drivers and is simply fitted with the 15-inch woofer.

The Bergantino Reference II Series cabs come in either black or burgundy Tolex. They’re shipping in the U.S. now for $1,059 for the 112 and $1,099 for the 115.
