Eminence Speaker News

In this edition of Point to Point, Eminence's Josh Martin gets a behind the scenes look at how boutique amp builder Love Tree Amplifiers got their start, and their approach to designing their products. "We build our amps in solid wood enclosures. This opens up a world of different sounds and looks. Your amp is 50% of your tone and we feel it should look as nice. As a company we build to a standard, not a price point." says Jon-Paul Painton, Marketing Director at Love Tree Amplifiers.

Guitar World's Paul Riario demonstrates the new CV-75 guitar speaker from Eminence. Rated at 75 watts, the British-voiced CV-75 offers complete tonal balance Grunt and punch in the lows, warm/tailored mids, and clear, open/airy highs. Qualities often attributed to hand made British speakers from 20 to 30 years ago. The CV-75 is the latest addition to the Red Coat series of guitar speakers, and features a 1.75" voice coil and a 56 oz. ceramic magnet. Get complete specs here.

Following the successful collaborative effort on the Eric Johnson Signature EJ1250 guitar speaker, Eminence and George Alessandro have teamed up once again to develop a 12" guitar speaker with vintage sounds circa 1964, the GA-SC64.

With a 100 watt continuous AES power rating, the PSD:3014 features a 3" voice coil and a recommended minimum crossover frequency of 800 Hz.

Rated at 1,250 watts, the Kilomax Pro 18A and 15A models require an aluminum heat sink to help dissipate heat. As with all loudspeakers, there is a chance a Kilomax can eventually need reconing. In order to replace the cone in these models, you first have to remove this heat sink. Anthony Lucas, Eminence Speaker Tech Support, demonstrates how to remove the heat sink in this video.

Field tested with the leading pedal steel players and equipment manufacturers in Nashville, Arizona, Texas and Los Angeles, we were able to find just the right combination of tone, explosive dynamics and high power handling that they all wanted in a 12" pedal steel driver." said Jerry McNutt, Design Engineer at Eminence.

There are a lot of 8" amplifiers on the market, but very few have a speaker capable of delivering quality tone." said Anthony Lucas, Eminence tech support specialist.

Eminence has had the pleasure of working with George Alessandro for many years, building custom guitar speakers to his specifications for many of his high-end amplifiers. Together we collaborated with legendary guitarist Eric Johnson on what we think is the finest alnico guitar speaker on the market, the Eric Johnson Signature EJ1250. We recently sat down with George to learn more about the man behind the tone of many of today's premier artists.

One of our most frequently asked tech support questions goes something like this: "Hey I've got this old speaker and I'm pretty sure it's an Eminence. Can you tell me what the power rating, impedance, and other specs are?" In this video, Eminence Speaker Tech Anthony "Big Tony" Lucas points out how to find the information on the speaker he will need in order to help you.

Eminence offers coaxial woofers in 8", 10", and 12", called the Beta-8CX, Beta-10CX and Beta-12CX, respectively. These woofers have a threaded pole-piece so that a screw-on, 1" exit high frequency driver can be attached to form a coaxial set up. The woofer has a screen type dust cap, which allows the output of the high frequency driver to pass through the center. A small, 60 degree conical horn is attached to the top of the pole-piece beneath the dust cap. In my experience, it seems that our coaxial products are misunderstood and do not have enough exposure. In this article, I hope to raise awareness by sharing my own experiences and show how you can use them to create a great monitor or home hi-fi speaker.
