    Default New Eminence Technology

    http://www.eminence-speaker.com/fdm.asp

    I have absolutely no idea how this works. If it sounds good that would be pretty cool.

    If it works it's great. I think many guitarists would embrace such a technology.

    I wonder how they keep it from moving when the speaker is being shaken all over the place. I'd also like to know about the long-term reliability of a system like this. Cool tech, nevertheless.

    Looks pretty cool... unless you have them in a closed cab that is The attenuation seems to track pretty even across the speaker's frequency response at about 10dB from full on to full off. Should cut the perceived volume by half. Nice.

    I just don't like the idea of having to put my hand into the back of a speaker cab. Frequency charts are great for the techies, but I would like to hear them live and see what it does.
    Of course I was skeptical about hybrid amps not sounding "real", or too sterile, but the Super Champ XD blew that assumption. So maybe this is the next step for the home player.

    My bad about the double link. I didn't do a search before I posted.

    As for the technology, nothing else has really worked since people have tried to tackle the problem of the good sounding section of amps being too loud. Maybe they really have found a decent solution, but I just kinda doubt it. Also, it looks kinda cheap and plasticky.

    Maybe a mod can merge this with the other one

    The only thing I can figure is that as you turn the "knob" it would minutely
    tighten or loosen the cone somewhat. Of course, I'm probably completely
    offbase....but if correct that would not be such ground breaking tech.

    VERY interesting indeed...I dunno how it works, my first guess would be it moves the magnet farther from the coils when u turn it...quite interesting.

    That _might_ be a very good system. Just need to have some sort of fork attachment to it that would allow for installation in a closed cab & have an adjuster on the outside.

    My guess is it's gonna be rather costly as well? Was there any price info?
