Otop 12 - Delta Pro 12a vs 2512

#1 Post by loudsubz »

Did a little comparison video (Delta Pro on RIGHT, 2512 on LEFT)

Its a subtle difference but there is definitely a different sound to both. The Delta Pro sounds more nasally, and the vocals are set back in the speaker vs the 2512 has a more up front presence and smoother vocals. The trade off is a bit more bass from the Delta, but with them crossed so high you wouldn't notice.

So you prefer the sound of the 2512? Thanks for the 2c. They sound good from here!

Yes, for straight up comparison of the Otop12 I do prefer the 2512, lighter as well.

Yes, nice comparison. I can definitely hear from the video the difference you're describing. :clap: +1 for the deltalite.

Thank you very much for the comparison, that is obvious even in a Youtube video :).

But does it really matter if you're going to EQ them with a DEQ2496 or similar? Can't those differences heard in the video be tweaked out?
My Jack 10s with the Deltalites are pretty awful sounding without eq.
