Make Your Sound Your Own
You've worked hard to perfect your style. It's yours and yours alone. You have your favorite sticks just the right weight and length. You love playing those long triplet fills. No one is going to mistake your playing for someone else's. Same thing with your sound it has to be uniquely yours. You've honed everything about your playing to be "just right". Don't trust your sound to an ordinary speaker. You need the Alesis Strike Amp 12 powered drumming speaker.

2000-Watts of Room-Shaking Power
With 2000 watts of explosive bi-amplified power and super high-performance transducers, this speaker will always play loud and clear, in any space, in any situation whether you're performing, recording or rehearsing. The heavy-duty 12-inch low frequency driver really adds the "kick" to kickdrum. And the high-frequency compression driver in its computer-optimized waveguide conveys all the brilliance and snap of your snare drum and cymbals. Power. Precision. Drama. Using the Strike Amp 12 is like driving a race car that's absolutely glued to the track and it never runs out of horsepower. HFS.

Feature Packed - The BEST Amp to Power Your Drums!
But there's a lot more to this speaker than just pure power. A lot more. The Strike Amp 12 has all the versatility and features needed to fit in anywhere and it's a snap to set up and use. You can use it vertically or tilt it back horizontally like a stage monitor. There's an XLR output to link another Strike Amp 12 or send your performance to another input device. Need to customize the sound for that "just right" tone? Use the Contour EQ control. And the (2) XLR/TRS 1/4-inch combo inputs with independent volume controls and clip indicator means there is virtually unlimited hookup versatility and you'll never unknowingly overdrive the speaker into distortion.

With its handsome, refined appearance, lightweight but rugged construction and versatile user interface, the Strike Amp 12 is the ideal powered drumming speaker for everyone playing an electronic kit. You're not just any drummer. Don't settle for just any speaker.

This is a great unit with powerfull and clean sound, wonderfully portable with one drawback. Where the controls are located makes access difficult, especially if upright in the corner of a room and in front of the kit in a small room. A 27 inch secondary monitor sits on top which allows me to record without getting up to the computer constantly and allows me to do my online e learning..... Not including a remote control interface build into this unit was a huge design oversight. Sure, it would have cost a bit more, however the convenience this would have provided would have been well worth the xtra cost.

I have been looking into the "modeler - FRFR speaker combination" a lot on line and decided to take a chance on the strike 12, (against a lot of recommendations on some forums I might add) cause of the power and the price. This speaker rocks. I'm using a JCM800 setting I made for recording straight into my DAW for when I dont want to mike up an amp and running it through the strike 12 is as close to a cranked marshall as you're ever gonna get IMO
Definitely recommend this speaker for a "amp modeler / speaker " configuration.

I have an upgraded Alesis Surge kit with the Command Advanced Module and noticed quite a difference with what I was hearing out coming from the amp I was using to what I heard through the earphones. I bought the Strike Amp 12 2000 watt and heard the same better sounds through this amp that I heard through the earphones The individual EQ ing I do through the module. The XLR outputs (2) and the 2 inputs are all I need. No distortion at higher volume. Great price as well.

This thing is LOUD! and impressively clear at high volume. I'm using it both an Alesis Strike Module and A Zildjian Gen16 DCP and I am very pleased with the results. I've tried other monitors and powered speakerson my edrums and while some are as good, none of them outperform this one. Other reviewers have said that the Alesis Strike module requires two of these but this is inaccurate. The left output on the Strike Module is mono if used by itself. The Strike AMP also has two input channels so I would imagine it would be able to take both left and right outputs from the module if you run two cables.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
