Here’s something cool I noticed while cruising the Musikmesse info on the web (wishing I was there…). It seems that Dietmar Kammler who played music all his life was not 100% satisfied with his tone. He noticed that there have been many advances made with guitars, amps, pedals and other accessories but the speaker cabinet basically remained a square box.
Drawing from the design of a violin Dietmar has come up with a cbinet that incorporates a 4-way adjustable “bracing” system for fine tuning. The tunator part of his cabinet attaches to the speaker’s magnet and to the four walls. You can then adjust the tension of the tunator to find the sweet spot according to your ears.It will also optimize sound projection and improve definition.
This is some real “old world” technology that is now applied to a speaker cabinet. I am very curious to hear what the effects would be. This just may be another contribution to finding your overall personal tone. Pretty cool!!
