Lab 12 Availability

#1 Post by mj90210 »

A friend of mine recently bought four new in the box Lab 12 drivers from Pro Audio Star at a discounted rate. He initially bought 14 drivers but then the order was rescinded due to availability of the Lab 12’s. Pro Audio Star said that their supplier did not have any more and they suspect that the driver is being discontinued. Can anyone add any insight to this or possibly have correct information? I am getting ready for another build that needs these drivers and don’t want to miss out on the original or possibly an upgraded version.
Thank You All for Your Time!!...Really!

Built:
2xDR300's

Don't second guess this.
Go direct to Eminence and ask them!

It may simply be they are about to do a production run of Lab12's....
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...

Pro Audio Star does not appear to be an Eminence dealer. They do deal a lot in closeouts and B stock items. They probably got the LAB 12s from a dealer that went out of business. That means the only thing that was discontinued was the place they got them from.

I did call Eminence and left a message. I haven’t received a call back. I have seen posts about future and discontinued speakers on this forum, so I figured possibly someone knew something.

Since you can't get them from Pro Audio Star just get them from another source, like Speakerhardware.com. Getting them from an Eminence dealer also removes any potential issues with warranty claims.

That definitely rules out Eminence as Pro Audio Star's supplier. :wink:
