Trouble Free World Class Performance
Eden Hand Builds Their Own Speakers for Bass Playing Applications
The David Eden Bass Guitar Enclosures are carefully engineered and hand crafted to give you years of trouble free world class performance even under the most strenuous performance conditions. At Eden, we approach speaker design from a different direction than most companies. Given our long history and wide industry background, we look at speaker systems as a logical extension of the player and instrument . We design and voice each enclosure to enhance certain traits just as a fine instrument is crafted. After you have spent your time and money finding the perfect bass you will want an amplifier and speaker system capable of doing it justice. Eden is the only bass guitar amplifier company that actually hand builds our own speaker and tweeters. This allows us to control the sound and production quality of our own products very carefully, ensuring that you get the very best bass guitar products possible.
Solid Construction Leads to Top Performance
We use AA furniture grade plywood, all Dado and Rabbit construction with the massive internal bracing required to really produce the low bass note properly. The porting is optimized for high level performance and the boxes are tuned to maximize sound quality and performance. The enclosures are all designed to reproduce the true sound of your bass with the proper character and clarity. Nothing sounds like an Eden. Based on your playing style and venue requirements, we have a system to match your taste and budget needs.
The World's Most Desired Bass Cabinet
The top performer's choice world-wide, our D410 XLT is the current industry standard for 410 enclosures. The new dual ported enclosure design provides our exclusive XL model drivers with increased power handling. The XL's increased forward throw, additional 2 octave low-end response and live, aggressive sound make its performance unsurpassed for main stage and high level applications.
Why Choose Eden? The Reasons Will Astound You
Eden Electronics is able to blend together in our products a unique combination of disciplines and talents in mechanical engineering, applied physics, musical knowledge, nuances, and fine U.S.A. hand made craftsmanship to produce a truly marvelous and extremely musical product. There is actually a great deal of sonic magic in Eden speakers and enclosures as well as some of the most solid engineering in the industry. Because we design and build our own loudspeakers and hi frequency devices, we can make exactly what we need for any given design. We design and engineer all of the individual loudspeakers and all of the enclosures to work well with each other so that the synergy of the overall design is greater than the sum of the parts. We are the only company in the Bass Guitar amplifier market that has this capability. Building the raw drivers gives us tremendous flexibility in both design and manufacturing. More importantly, we have total control of the product quality and have internal control over the repair and service considerations. Eden products are designed to never be obsolete or unfixable. By using much tighter than normal industry standards, we are able to get higher performance and better sound quality out of our loudspeakers and hi frequency drivers.
Eden Is Designed For One Purpose: Bass Playing
When you invest in Eden for your bass amp system, you are getting products with components that are specifically designed for bass playing. IT sounds obvious, but most other bass amp companies use guitar amps and speakers in their products. Eden does not. Building great loudspeaker systems is much more than just building great drivers. You also must have correctly matched hi performance enclosures for them to go into. For good quality bass response, you need to do several things with the enclosures. First of all, you have to use very good materials. AA void free solid core plywood is a must. The more common standard C & D cores allow for voids and patches inside the panel and over time these can come loose and rattle or just plain delaminate and fall apart. You must also build the enclosure very well. Precision Dado and Rabbet interlocking joints, special glues and a tremendous amount of bracing to insure that the enclosure is rigid at all of the frequencies of interest. All of that is before you even consider the design type and execution of the enclosure design which must also be very precise. The David Series enclosures are computer designed and then carefully hand tuned for maximum transient response and best overall output and performance.
Eden's Overall Design Philosophy
Eden's overall design philosophy is that they treat the engineering and design of their bass guitar amplifiers very much like they are musical instruments. The amplifiers are voiced for certain effects and designed to work in a specific fashion with certain character choices that make it both so transparent enough that the natural sound of the bass comes through accurately and clearly and yet provides some warmth, in addition to having great tonality that enhances the overall sound quality of the entire system. Eden approaches the amplifier design from a solid P.A. power amp perspective. They do this by choosing characteristics that give superior performance and great musicality. By designing the amplifiers with proper head room they get a product with much better performance than what anyone can get from a guitar amplifier perspective. For example; if you design a good guitar amplifier there are certain things you want - obviously good tone, solid sustain, good overload and saturation characteristics, careful power supply limitations for tone character as well as a good general tone envelope. In bass amplifier design Eden comes from a different direction. A bass player wants lots of headroom, virtually no distortion in the amp, very high instantaneous output current ability, tight control of the speaker by the amplifier, much higher overall power levels, controlled system limiting, as well as very good tone body. In addition, they design in redundant safety protection in the amplifier design so that it can take care of itself in even the most abusive situations.
Designed to Perform and Grow With
They have chosen to go with a hybrid design style for the Eden products. Eden uses a vacuum tube (7025) for the front end followed by solid state signal processing and power outputs. This uses the great warmth, natural tone and compression characteristics of the tube preamplifier to define the overall tone characteristics of the amplifier and still deliver the high power, final amplification with highly reliable solid state devices rather than using the more expensive and less reliable hi power tube circuits. Eden amplifiers have many unique features that allow them to stand out far above the rest of the products offered in the market place. All the world tour amplifiers feature: True international power supply designs with standard international IEC connections One piece .090 aluminum chassis Modular military style construction for high reliability and simple servicing. Toroid power transformers for high power to weight ratios and reliability Eden offers upgrades for most older product designs so that their products are never obsolete. They use very heavy duty special output devices that are extremely tough and handle abuse well. Overall, the World Tour Amplifiers are designed to be rock solid, reliable and simple to use and repair, while delivering killer tone and years of trouble free service.
