AL112 Combos Are now shipping!!!!!!
The AL Series combos and extension cabinets feature the first ever solid-aluminum hybrid enclosure. Using Specially engineered wood baffles and high-performance ceramic drivers, the AL series are lighter than neo-based traditional cabinets. The aluminum enclosure provides super rigidity, which allows for enhanced output. This is the Edge of Sound!
The Technology
Epifani adds another ‘first’ to its long list of bass engineering accomplishments. The AL series is the first to utilize solid-aluminum for the main enclosure shell. At one time aluminum was more precious than gold – and its unique properties allow for a superior strength-to-weight ratio. This allows us to use the latest high-performance ceramic drivers and achieve a lower weight over similar neo-based wood cabinets. Aluminum’s malleability also lets us craft a slightly bowed, trapezoidal structure for the combos that results in improved frequency response and power output without introducing unwanted tonal coloration. Extension cabinets use a bowed, rectangular shape for best coupling to the AL combos. With the Epifani AL Series, the future has been drawn.
The Sound
The legendary Epifani sound is based on getting your bass tone revealed to you and your audience intact. That means the broad clarity of the midrange, the full fundamental of the low end, and the singing highs of the upper register – all played with the fastest, most powerful dynamics anywhere. All of your notes are full, round and defined. That’s because you hear the whole note, and nothing but the whole note. Simple as it sounds, it’s what made our tone sought after by the worlds most inspired musicians.

jblount –
The Epifani AL 112c is stunning beyond words. Even just running it flat, it sounds absolutely amazing. It’s as though Epifani has figured out how to wrestle all of the different frequencies that come out of my instrument so that they all pull in the same direction. The result is a powerful and coherent sound that is still full of lovely complexity. The sustain is breathtaking. I’m also still trying to figure out how a solid state circuit can produce such a warm sound. I like to keep my gear to 40 pounds or less per piece, which most bass players probably don’t care about doing. But to get such a powerful combo that is, in fact, under 40 pounds is an incredible engineering and design feat. And it’s a treat for the eye.
I could not possibly be happier.
And Tony, thank you and Planet Bass for providing such outstanding service.
