Introduction
“This cutting-edge design ushers in an unprecedented era of sustainable audio engineering”: This amp cabinet is absurdly slim and so light it can be worn with a guitar strap – meet Eminent Technology's latest innovation, the Model Twenty-Two"
By Matt Owen - Guitar World Magazine
Thinner Than An Acoustic Guitar
About the same weight and thickness as an electric guitar in its case. Louder and more powerful than a typical 1 x 12 guitar cab.
About the Model Twenty Two
The Model Twenty Two is an amazingly light (16 pound) Guitar cab with a 350 watt amplifier, bass, mid, and treble controls, both instrument and microphone inputs with independent volume controls, switchable programmable DSP with modes for cab sim, FR FR (flat response), tone, and scoop settings.
The revolutionary Model Twenty Two has the diaphragm "cone" area of a 2 x 12 cabinet, but is much more convenient and weighs less than half as much as a 1 x 12 cabinet. It disperses sound around the audience better than a traditional guitar cab, if you play Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Keyboards, Sax, or Synthesizers in a band other members will hear you clearly and listeners will not need to be directly in front of your band to get impressive sound, your tone will be the same for everyone in the audience.
Covered by two utility patents, the Model Twenty Two can be carried with a guitar shoulder strap, it's about as thick as a typical electric guitar case, is easy to transport and has a better presence on stage while taking up much less space. It can be used free standing, or against a wall.
View of Inputs, Tone Controls, and DSP settings
Electrical inputs and controls from left to right: Power On/Off, Standby, power on light, DSP switch settings are Cab + Preamp, Cab only, Preamp, FRFR and four presets for future programming. Next is a Mic/Instrument switch to select the tone controls for the two inputs. Then Bass, Mid and Treble controls, and Master volume for both channels. On the right side of the panel is a gain knob for the Mic/instrument input then a switch to define line level or mic inputs. Last on the far right is the Gain potentiometer for the instrument (guitar) input and 1/4" input.
The First Green Tech Loudspeaker
While the diaphragm area of the Model Twenty Two is similar to a 2 x 12 cab, The materials and wood products used in fabrication are much less than even a 1 x 10 cab significantly reducing materials consumed during production.
Since transport fuel to move equipment consumes much more energy than the electricity a band uses at a gig, by removing the need for a trailer or a van, adoption of this technology will significantly reduce the carbon footprint in the performance side of music industry.
As we develop fun new products around this technology, a stage monitor (right side of the stage in the photo below), bass guitar, and PA system, are planned, your bands stage presence will look impressive with a substantial weight and transport cost savings.
