  • Unless you’re successful enough to pay roadies, one of the great pains of being a gigging musician is lugging around heavy equipment like amps and cabs.
  • Florida’s Eminent Technology was founded by Thigpen in the early 1980s, and is responsible for the world’s first infrasound speaker (the TRW-17 rotary woofer), the first push-pull planar magnetic speaker, and the first flat-panel computer speakers.
  • The speaker features an open-back design and rocks an octave lower and an octave higher than a traditional guitar cab while offering a clean sound with “less compression and much wider dispersion than conventional musical instrument speakers.”
