Designed for players who seek warmth and clarity, the New Orleans 1250 by ToneSpeak harnesses the unique tonal qualities of a hemp cone to tame bright, harsh frequencies while maintaining excellent definition. Its rich, organic sound profile is perfect for blues, country, and expressive clean tones.

This 12-inch speaker features a 50 oz. ferrite magnet for powerful projection, a 1.75-inch copper voice coil with a Kraft paper former for durability, and a naturally warm tonal balance. While its darker tone eliminates muddiness, it retains clarity and articulation even with increased gain, making it a versatile choice for dynamic playing styles.

Key Features:

  • 12-inch (305 mm), 50-Watt power handling at 8 Ω impedance
  • 100 dB SPL sensitivity for strong output
  • Hemp cone for smooth highs and warm, defined lows
  • 1.75-inch copper voice coil with Kraft paper former for stability
  • 50 oz. ferrite magnet for solid projection and tonal control

For guitarists who want a smooth yet articulate sound, the New Orleans 1250 delivers warm, balanced tones with the perfect blend of richness and clarity.
