Eminence has teamed up once again with Nashville session artist and Rascal Flatts sideman Travis Toy to create a 300 watt, ultra-lightweight 15" signature pedal steel guitarreplacement speaker.
The first electronic loudspeaker designs were introduced in the 1920"s, and while there have been many improvements in component materials over the decades, not much has changed in the basic functionality of a loudspeaker: a permanent magnet interacts with an electromagnet (voice coil) to move a cone back and forth to produce sound waves.
Eminence is pleased to announce the company has become ISO 14001 certified.
An ISO 14001 environmental management system is a systematic and process driven approach to controlling those aspects of a business that have a significant impact on the environment.

Eminence is proud to be a supplier of custom designed 10", 12" and 15" speakers to High Performance Stereo for their HPS-4000 system. Following is news from HPS regarding being chosen to provide sound for the National Marine Museum's new theater in Triangle, VA.
High Performance Stereo is pleased to announce that the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation in partnership with the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, VA, located near the Marine Corps Base Quantico, has selected the HPS-4000 sound system for the new large screen theatre currently under construction. The theatre will boast an 80 foot wide screen that is also 60 feet tall and will be the home of a special new large format film now in production.
Building a sound image big enough for a screen of this size has always presented a challenge for sound systems. In the past most systems have attempted to create tall sound images with a single center speaker high above the main center speaker. While this approach does help, it still fails fill the screen with a wall of sound that stereo is supposed to be.
In 1966 Bob Gault founded what was to become the world"s largest loudspeaker manufacturing company after working as an engineer for Magnavox and CTS (Chicago Telephone Supply). Gault started Eminence building only three 18" speakers per day, based on a commitment from Ampeg"s Everett Hull. Under the leadership of Gault and most recently his son, Rob, the company"s capacity grew to over 10,000 speakers per day, employing nearly 200 people.
How did EarCandy get started and what got you interested in building gear?
I started playing piano when I was four, and I was doing piano recitals in front of 2,000 people when I was six. I babysat for this lady who couldn"t pay me so she gave me her ex-husband"s Stratocaster and it was love at first sight. After that, nothing else mattered but good grades. I had to have good grades or my dad would yank the guitar. He was a brilliant man, an E-9 Master Chief in the US Navy, a math genius and a very skilled wood worker by hobby. He had me out in the wood shop as soon as I could walk, I was sanding cabinets and shelves. When he passed away he left me all of his wood working tools, which a few are still used in the shop to this very day.
