FRFR-112 MKII — 2500-Watt Powered Cabinet for Amp Modelers

The HeadRush FRFR-112 MKII is a 2500-watt active full-range flat-response guitar cabinet built to translate every nuance of an amp modeler or pedalboard into stage-ready sound. FRFR — "full-range, flat-response" — means the cabinet adds no coloration of its own, so a Helix, Quad Cortex, Fractal, Headrush Prime or any other modeler sounds exactly as it was designed. With 2500 W of peak power on tap, this 12" powered cab is sized for club stages, rehearsal rooms and outdoor gigs where backline is limited. The MKII generation adds Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming, a redesigned HPF EQ switch and improved woofer and tweeter components for clearer emulation playback.

What Sets the FRFR-112 MKII Apart

Two design choices make the FRFR-112 MKII stand out in the powered-cabinet category. First, the cabinet pairs a 12" woofer with a 2.5" high-temperature voice coil alongside a 1" exit ceramic HF compression driver with a 1.4" coil — a driver combination voiced specifically for linear delivery of amplifier and cabinet emulations rather than for traditional guitar-cab coloration. Second, the XLR output is a true throughput, so the same signal feeding the cab can be sent independently to a front-of-house desk or a second speaker while the player's stage volume is balanced separately.

Power and Headroom — Stage-Ready Volume

Headroom is the single most important spec for any FRFR cabinet, because an amp modeler can deliver peaks that a small powered speaker will clip. The FRFR-112 MKII is rated at 2500 W peak, which the manufacturer states is enough headroom for almost any live performance or rehearsal, and the cab reaches a maximum SPL of 131 dB. That reserve matters most when running high-gain patches or bass through the same cabinet.

• Peak Power: 2500 W — enough reserve for high-gain amp and bass patches without compression artifacts
• Max SPL: 131 dB — fills a club stage or outdoor rehearsal without strain
• Frequency Response: 53 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB) — covers the full range an amp modeler can output

Drivers and Voicing — Linear Emulation Playback

FRFR cabinets live or die by their driver voicing. The 12" low-frequency driver uses a 2.5" high-temperature voice coil to handle low-end amp and bass emulations cleanly, while the 1" exit ceramic HF compression driver with a 1.4" coil reproduces the top-end articulation of overdriven patches and high-frequency cab IRs. A 90° horizontal by 60° vertical horn coverage pattern projects that detail across a stage rather than into a single sweet spot.

• LF Driver: 12" woofer with 2.5" voice coil — handles low-end emulations and bass without breakup
• HF Driver: 1" exit ceramic compression driver with 1.4" coil — reproduces high-frequency cab IR detail
• Horn Coverage: 90° H × 60° V — wide, even stage dispersion

Connectivity, Controls and Physical Specs

The rear panel is built around two combo XLR + 1/4" TRS balanced inputs, each with its own volume control, plus an XLR link output for chaining a second cabinet or sending signal to front-of-house. A 100 Hz HPF EQ switch helps the cab cut through muddy stage mixes, and a ground-lift switch eliminates hum from ground loops. Bluetooth 5.0 adds a dedicated wireless audio channel with a range of up to 30 m, and a standard 36 mm pole socket plus a wedge-friendly enclosure shape let the cab sit on a stand, on the floor or pole-mounted.

• Inputs: 2× XLR + 1/4" TRS combo (balanced) — chain a modeler and a second source with independent volumes
• Output: 1× XLR link / throughput — sends the same signal to FOH or a second cabinet
• HPF Switch: 100 Hz — clears low-end mud from dense stage mixes
• Bluetooth: Version 5.0, up to 30 m range — wireless backing-track streaming
• Dimensions: 353 × 350 × 607 mm — fits a 36 mm pole or wedge position
• Weight: 15.7 kg — single-trip load-in for most gigging players

Who the FRFR-112 MKII Is Built For

The FRFR-112 MKII is the right choice for guitarists and bassists who run an amp modeler, multi-FX pedal or pedalboard and need a transparent stage monitor that does not color their patches. It suits players who split their signal between a stage cab and a front-of-house desk, who want Bluetooth streaming for click tracks or set-break music, and who gig in clubs, rehearsal rooms or outdoor venues where a traditional guitar amp is impractical. Players using Helix, Quad Cortex, Fractal Audio, Headrush Prime/Core/Flex Prime or any IR-based modeler will hear their patches reproduced as designed.

HeadRush and the FRFR MKII Series

HeadRush, part of the inMusic Brands family, designs the FRFR cabinet line as the dedicated playback partner for its own amp-modeling pedals and for third-party modelers on the market. The MKII generation introduced Bluetooth audio, an HPF EQ switch replacing the previous Contour switch, updated woofer and tweeter components for cleaner emulation playback, and a gold front-panel logo to match the current Prime and Core pedalboards. The FRFR-112 MKII sits in the lineup between the smaller FRFR-108 MKII and the portable FRFR GO, and is used on stage by players including Charlie Benante of Anthrax, Tracii Guns of L.A. Guns, Zakk Sandler of Falling In Reverse and touring guitarists who work with Kendrick Lamar and Eminem.
