Katahdin Audio KA‑12BNC: Precision Engineered for Power and Clarity

Forget vague promises and hidden components. The Katahdin Audio KA‑12BNC is a high-performance 2‑way loudspeaker built on transparent engineering principles and premium-specified drivers. Whether you’re in the studio, on stage, or in a critical home listening environment, the KA‑12BNC delivers impactful, detailed, and faithfully reproduced sound—crafted and assembled with pride in Waterboro, Maine.

Authoritative Low End At the heart of the KA‑12BNC is the robust B&C 12PLB76 12‑inch low‑frequency driver. Chosen for its reliability and articulate performance, this workhorse produces tight, controlled bass that extends down to 50 Hz and handles a genuine 350 W RMS (700W program). The result is bass that delivers both punch and nuance, providing a solid foundation without strain.

Detailed High Frequencies with Controlled Dispersion Handling the highs is the efficient B&C DE200 compression driver paired with the ME45 wavehorn. The DE200, featuring a responsive titanium diaphragm, reproduces crisp, clean detail across the upper frequencies. The ME45 horn ensures smooth, predictable dispersion so that vocals and instruments are rendered accurately across the listening area with minimal beaming or harshness.

Performance-Driven Enclosure Exceptional drivers demand an exceptional enclosure. The KA‑12BNC is housed in a cabinet with an internal volume of 1288 cubic inches designed to provide optimal loading for the 12PLB76 drivers. A carefully dimensioned rectangular port (approximately 40 mm × 268 mm × 233 mm) tunes the enclosure to a measured 72 Hz. This precision-tuned design strikes the perfect balance between extended low-frequency response and articulate transient performance.
