1 2 hours test made with continuous pink noise signal (6 dB crest factor) within the
specified range. Power calculated on rated minimum impedance. Loudspeaker in
free air.
2 Power on Continuous Program is defined as 3 dB greater than the Nominal rating.
3 Applied RMS Voltage is set to 2.83V for 8 ohms Nominal Impedance. Average
SPL from 200 to 3500 Hz.
4 Thiele-Small parameters are measured after a high level 20 Hz sine wave preconditioning
test. |

Building on the platform of the Blue, the Gold is a higher-powered, Alnico-magnet speaker that recreates the unmistakable sonic signature of a ʽwell played-inʼ original. Over time, the high frequencies of a Blue soften and become less chalky as the cone becomes more flexible – a much sought after characteristic that the Gold exhibits straight out of the box. Also present in the Gold sound from the outset is an added warmth and complexity in the midrange which, coupled with the classic Alnico qualities of a laid-back attack, rounded low end and brilliant belllike highs, deliver huge rhythm voicings and saturated vocal lead tones.
The Gold is a wonderfully expressive and revealing loudspeaker, affording guitarists an unprecedented degree of dynamic control. It has already become a favourite for many working players worldwide whether picking and bending with Brad Paisley, or rocking hard with Danny Spitz of Anthrax.
