MESA PERFORMANCE IN A COMPACT 1x12

The Subway Ultra-Lite 1x12 is MESA's most compact Subway bass cabinet, but don't mistake compact dimensions for limited capability.

The combination of a highly responsive neodymium 12" speaker, tuned enclosure, and high-frequency driver gives this cabinet an impressive balance of low-end authority, midrange articulation, speed, and upper-frequency detail.

For rehearsals, recording sessions, smaller stages, or any player who values a highly portable bass rig, one 1x12 can be a remarkably capable solution.

12" NEODYMIUM RESPONSE

A great 12-inch bass cabinet occupies a useful middle ground.

It can deliver more immediacy and midrange articulation than many players associate with larger 15-inch designs while maintaining considerably more body and depth than its compact dimensions might suggest.

MESA's neodymium driver also helps dramatically reduce weight.

The entire cabinet weighs just 32.9 pounds, making this a professional bass enclosure that one person can realistically move without a struggle.

ADJUSTABLE HIGH-FREQUENCY HORN

The Subway 1x12 incorporates a dedicated high-frequency horn with a premium attenuator, giving you control over the cabinet's upper-frequency character.

Want a warmer, more traditional bass sound?

Back the horn down.

Need additional string definition, slap articulation, harmonics, or modern Hi-Fi presence?

Bring it forward.

That flexibility allows the same cabinet to accommodate very different instruments and playing styles.

TUNED TRI-PORT DESIGN

MESA's front-facing Tri-Port system is carefully tuned to work with the cabinet's internal volume and 12-inch driver.

The goal isn't simply more bass.

It's controlled, musical low-frequency extension from a relatively compact enclosure.

Because the ports face forward, the cabinet is also practical in real-world stage environments where placement behind the cabinet may be limited.

LIGHTWEIGHT ITALIAN POPLAR

MESA builds the Subway Ultra-Lite enclosure from lightweight Italian poplar and incorporates aviation-inspired internal bracing.

This construction helps maintain structural rigidity while eliminating unnecessary weight.

It's a major reason MESA can deliver a serious 400-watt bass cabinet at under 33 pounds.

For working bassists who transport their own equipment, that matters every single night.

USE ONE — OR BUILD A MODULAR SUBWAY RIG

One of the smartest aspects of the Subway cabinet family is its modularity.

The 1x12 can be used by itself or combined with:

Another Subway 1x12
A Subway 1x15
A Subway 2x10
Larger Subway configurations

Because the 1x12 is an 8-ohm cabinet, pairing two matching 1x12s creates a highly portable 4-ohm speaker system.

That makes it particularly attractive with powerful MESA Subway heads such as the D-800+, WD-800, and TT-800.

Take one cabinet when that's all you need.

Take two when the gig demands more.

VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL ORIENTATION

Another clever feature is the cabinet's convertible vertical orientation.

This gives players additional flexibility when stacking multiple Subway cabinets or working on stages where floor space is limited.

It's a small detail that reinforces what the entire Subway concept is about:

Serious performance without unnecessary size or weight.

BUILT FOR WORKING BASSISTS

The Subway Ultra-Lite 1x12 makes a compelling argument for downsizing your bass rig without downsizing your expectations.

400 watts.
8 ohms.
Full-range response.
Adjustable horn.
32.9 pounds.

Add the included fitted slip cover and you've got a cabinet designed to move easily from home to rehearsal, studio, stage, and back again.
