New Bass Speaker Enclosures

British amplifier manufacturer Trace Elliot has announced its new U.S. product range for 2006, including four specially tuned bass amplifier cabinets outfitted with Celestion® loudspeakers.

Trace Elliot enclosures are designed in multiple speaker and power-handling configurations, and are tuned to specific frequencies—with unobstructed central and bottom slots—depending on the loudspeaker configuration and cabinet size. Trace Elliot's engineering and design team tune the cabinets in a highly controlled, scientific process to ensure consistency and quality throughout the bass enclosure range.

Trace Elliot cabinets are constructed using lightweight poplar ply, which is internally braced top-to-bottom, left-to-right and front-to-rear for strength and rigidity. The cabinets are covered in the classic black Trace Elliot covering and fitted with stainless steel hardware.

The Trace Elliot 1028H™, 1048H™, 1518™ and 1518c™ enclosures will be available in Q1 2006 from authorized retailers.
