Manufacturer Spec Sheet
“Today’s in-demand session artists and sidemen have to be chameleons. We need to seamlessly blend in stylistically and tonally with whatever type of music is being recorded. This new speaker I helped Eminence develop lets me use my amp and pedals to dial in any tone I’m after, and handles anything I throw at it."
