HH TRE1201 Active PA Speaker Pair

These second hand PA Speakers are in great condition

 
The HH TRE‑1201 is a solid, affordable, and surprisingly powerful 12" active PA speaker aimed at gigging musicians, DJs, rehearsal rooms, and small venues. It delivers strong volume, clear mids, and a punchy low end without the price tag of premium brands. It’s not the most refined or feature‑rich speaker in its class, but for the money it’s a reliable workhorse that gets the job done.

A 12-inch, 2‑way active PA speaker featuring:

• 12" woofer + 1" compression driver
• Class‑D power amp (typically around 300–400W RMS depending on batch)
• Built‑in 2‑channel mixer
• XLR/Jack combo inputs
• Contour EQ switch
• Pole‑mountable, wedge‑usable, and lightweight

Overall character

The TRE‑1201 has a forward, mid‑present sound that works well for vocals, acoustic instruments, and general live reinforcement.

• Acoustic guitar: Natural with a bit of sparkle
• Backing tracks: Full enough for pub gigs
• Electric guitar modellers: Works well as a budget FRFR option

Crisp without being harsh.
The horn isn’t as refined as Yamaha or QSC, but it’s clean and usable.
