About the Clair Brothers Stage Monitors
The Clair Brothers Stage Monitors range includes multiple series addressing different stage requirements. The 12AM is a two-way active monitor with a 12-inch LF driver and 2-inch HF driver, a frequency response of 50Hz to 18kHz and a peak output of 131 dB SPL. The WEDGE series offers two-way monitoring in both active and passive versions, sharing the same 131 dB SPL peak output and 65Hz to 17kHz response. The 1AM and self-powered 1AM+ are coaxial point-source monitors with 12-inch and 3-inch drivers covering 60Hz to 18kHz. The 1.5AM steps up to a 15-inch LF driver and 4-inch HF driver, extending response to 55Hz to 18kHz with a peak output of 136 dB SPL. All models use EP-4 input connections and present an 8-ohm nominal LF impedance.
Clair Brothers Stage Monitors — buyer FAQs
What are the main model variants in the Clair Brothers Stage Monitors range?
The range covers five main series: the 12AM (two-way active), the WEDGE (two-way, available in active or passive versions), the 1AM (two-way coaxial point-source), the self-powered 1AM+ (coaxial point-source with an integrated Series Power Module), and the 1.5AM (coaxial monitor with a 15-inch LF driver and 4-inch HF driver). Each series is available in standard, left-oriented and right-oriented configurations.
How do the frequency response and peak output compare across these stage monitors?
The 12AM covers 50Hz to 18kHz with a 131 dB SPL peak output. The WEDGE runs 65Hz to 17kHz, also reaching 131 dB SPL peak. The 1AM and 1AM+ share a 60Hz to 18kHz response. The 1.5AM extends lowest, reaching 55Hz to 18kHz at plus or minus 2dB, and achieves the highest peak output in the range at 136 dB SPL.
What power amplifier is recommended for passive Clair Brothers Stage Monitor models?
Passive models in the 12AM and WEDGE series are recommended for use with an amplifier delivering 1200W peak into 8 ohms. The 1AM passive requires 1200 to 1400W peak at 8 ohms, while the 1.5AM calls for 1300 to 2300W peak at 8 ohms. The 1AM+ is self-powered and requires no external amplifier. All passive models use EP-4 input connectors.
Who makes the Clair Brothers Stage Monitors and what is the background of the brand?
Clair Brothers is a United States loudspeaker brand rooted in a touring sound company founded by Roy and Gene Clair in Lititz, Pennsylvania in the 1960s, and is associated with the wider Clair Global live production organisation. The Stage Monitors range reflects that touring heritage, with specifications such as high peak SPL outputs and robust power handling aimed at demanding live production environments.
What should a buyer check when purchasing a used Clair Brothers Stage Monitor?
Buyers should confirm which series and variant they are purchasing (active, passive, coaxial or self-powered), as driver configuration, power handling and input wiring differ across models. Check that EP-4 connectors are undamaged and that LF and HF drivers are functional. Used units on 10K Used carry a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; full details are in the buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/.
