Vintage 30

Back in 1986 a new breed of hard rock player was on the rise. To meet the

demands of the players and their increasingly 'hot-rodded' amplifiers, we

set out to develop a modern speaker, capable of handling much more power

and overdrive. To achieve this, we coupled our 'H' magnet (the closest in

performance to Alnico) with a new cone and voice coil employing

contemporary materials.

Our most revealing speaker, the Vintage 30 features enormously detailed

and complex overtones, a warm low-end, a famously rich vocal mid-range and

a beautifully detailed top-end. Used singly to reveal the complexities in

hand- wired boutique amps, or in quartets for a wonderfully intricate

vintage 3D crunch, the Vintage 30 sound has been captured on thousands of

recordings from a diverse range of notable players including Slash, Steve

Stevens and Peter Frampton.
