SPL expands its "Power Soak" product line for guitar players. In addition to the active TRANSDUCER and CABULATOR versions with speaker simulation, SPL has launched now the REDUCER, a purely passive power attenuator for guitar amps.

The Reducer, developed between SPL and German amp specialist Tonehunter, is placed between the guitar amp and the speaker. At this stage, it converts the amp's electric power into heat. Power reduction with resistors requires no additional power supply, thus, "the passive principle guarantees an accurate sound reproduction without any influence on the frequency response curve. So yes, you could say that the Reducer is neutral," states Jens Gronwald, Project Manager at SPL.

Used exclusively by the royal family for speeches on momentous occasions, each of these three priceless microphones dating back to the 1920s and 1930s was tailored and tuned especially for its specific user: King George V, King George VI, and Queen Elizabeth.
