Most guitar cabinets have a very focused sound radiation with the result of a very loud and shrill sound right before the speaker. If you move away from the center position the sound loses highs drastically and the volume drops significantly. Many guitarists try to compensate this with increased volume, since they feel they cannot cut through the mix well, which can lead to other problems, also with the other band members.
The TTC Raptor addresses this problem and offers a better sound radiation, it is wider and more uniform, which is achieved by the combination of different techniques.
The two side vents, which are borrowed from a cabinet concept from some years ago, are working as a sort of side-fill. These get combined and supported by reflectors inside the box, which control the beam angle and the "sound volume" through the side-fills. The slanted baffle provides improved sound in the upper room and is supported by the additional slant of the cabinet, which is achieved through feet in different highs. Another addition is a diffuser in front of the speaker to support a better sound radiation and reduce the beaming. It is adapted to the specific requirements, which results in a different size than the standard diffusers.
Another advantage of the TTC Raptor is the very low weight, which is achieved through the use of lightweight poplar, as well as the compact design, so the TTC Raptor can also be used in small places - and sound like a big box. Requirements, which are often on the wish list of modern guitarists. It is also possible to stack two TTC Raptor, the result is a further increased 3-dimensional effect.
All in all this cabinet is a well matched comprehensive package which can make the life of a musician easier.
Screws for mounting the speakers are included.
If you order loudspeakers together with the cab we mount them free of charge and if you order the speaker-cab together with a wire-set we will make the wiring for you too and you get a ready-to-play speaker cab.

The Signature Series
The Signature Series brings you cabinets that were designed for very specific applications or sounds – or both – and comprises the models listed here.
Of course, the choice of Tolex covering, grillcloth and even hardware is the customer’s. However, the basic design elements such as dimensions and structure are inherent to the respective model; they define the cabinet’s sound and cannot be modified or altered because this could drastically influence or altogether change the fundamental character of the cabinet in undesirable ways.
Optionen
We offer a wide varaity of options for most of the speaker cabs that we build. The customer can choose from this options to adjust the speaker cab to his or her own needs and ideas.
Back-Panels
In addition to the size of a speaker cabinet, the "back" has a very big influence on the sound of a speaker cab.
Closed-Backs cabinets are widely used because they are easy to handle. But they have a bad habit: closed-back cabinets have a more or less strong damping effect on higher frequencies but also also the bass responce and they might be significantly quieter too than cabinets with an open back. The benefits, however, is a tight and well-controlled bass which make them ideal for loud and heavy sounds.
An
Open Back cabinets produces a wide tonal range with a rich top end and a strong bass, but the bass response is less controlled than in a closed back cab because the cone of the speaker moves more freely with less control.
The
"Flex-Back" – a development by TTC - however, is a mixture of both concepts and allows a quick change from a closed to an open back and vice versa - without tools. Thus the box can be easily adapted to the particular circumstances and needs.
The
Oval or Dumble Back represents a kind of open-back - ported speaker cab with a higher tuning frequency than standard ported cabs, designed to push the mid-range which will result in a warm, smooth and full sound.
Options for the front side
The difference between a "Standard front" and a "XL-Front" is purely optical, and does not effect the sound. With a slanted mounted baffle the "Monitor"- effect is much higher than with a straight mounted baffle, because the sound is more radiated toward the musician.
Front Standard
Front Standard Slanted
Front XL
Front XL Slanted
Piping
Piping, once as decorative piping and once as piping around the front. Again, the use of piping has optical reasons, but no effect on the sound.
