The Karnivore Is Coming!
Eminence Speaker and Kristian Kohle Unveil the Karnivore: The Ultimate Guitar Speaker for High-Gain Tones
Eminence, KY – January 15, 2025 –
Eminence Speaker, renowned for its legacy of crafting high-performance speakers in the heart of Kentucky, is excited to announce the release of the Karnivore, a groundbreaking guitar speaker developed in collaboration with world-class metal producer Kristian Kohle. Following their successful partnership on the Eminence / Orange Bass Guitar Cabinet Impulse Response Pack and the Kristian Kohle DV-77 IR Pack, this new venture takes their collaboration to new heights, bringing the ultimate high-gain solution to guitarists everywhere. The Karnivore is designed to deliver everything heavy players need: a massive low end, a thick, vocal mid-range, and mid-range bite that effortlessly cuts through even the most demanding metal mixes — all without becoming harsh or brittle. Whether it's crushing rhythm tones or searing leads, the Karnivore provides the perfect balance of power and precision, making it a must-have for modern guitarists pushing the boundaries of tone.
Kristian Kohle, a renowned producer and engineer known for his work with legendary metal bands like Powerwolf, Aborted, and Electric Callboy, has been instrumental in shaping the Karnivore’s sonic profile. With years of expertise refining tones for metal artists, Kohle's influence can be heard in every aspect of the speaker's design, ensuring that the Karnivore is not only a technical marvel but also an artistic tool for achieving unparalleled high-gain tones.
"We are thrilled to partner with Kristian again on such an exciting project," said Rick Skillman, Global Sales and Marketing Director with Eminence Speaker. "The Karnivore is a true testament to Kristian’s unmatched understanding of heavy tones, and we believe this speaker will be a game-changer for guitarists looking to push their sound to the next level."
The Karnivore speaker will make its public debut at NAMM 2025 in Anaheim, California. Kristian Kohle and the Eminence team will be at Booth 4224 from January 23-25, providing attendees with the chance to experience the speaker firsthand and see what makes the Karnivore the ultimate tool for high-gain metal tones.
