1. Introduction

Thank you very much for purchasing the Camper 212 kit !

With this kit you will be able to build your own high quality guitar flat response 
speaker cabinet.

The Camper 212 cabinet is designed for the use with guitar profiling or modelling 
gear, where the speaker profile / model will remain  part of the overall sound 
experience.

The frequency range of the Camper 212  cabinet is quite large and linear.

We do not recommended to use it as a guitar speaker cabinet directly driven by a 
traditional valve amplifier, because its extended upper frequency range will lead 
to rather harsh sounding distortion sounds.

The Camper 212 is designed to leave the smallest possible footprint on the overall 
sound as possible.

A traditional guitar speaker is leaves a very large footprint on the overall sound.
Such speakers act like a low pass filter and will filter many of the higher 
frequencies out of the sound. In the traditional tube world, this is a good thing, 
because higher frequencies generated by distorted guitar sound will sound harsh,
if the are smoothed and even taken out of the sound. 

The Camper 212 cabinet will leave those higher frequencies intact, so that 
different traditional guitar speaker models / profiles can be heard completely.

The 212 cabinet is especially useful for classic electric guitar sounds.
Since the Camper 212 cabinet is designed to leave a very small footprint on the 
overall sound, you will be able to listen to different speaker profiles or models as 
they were profiled or modelled by the gear  you use to shape your guitars sound.
