Tube Craft
When the usage of tube amplifiers were blooming in the 1960s, the smaller 5 to 30 watts tube amplifiers were used at home and in small clubs, while bigger tube amplifiers that ranged from 45 to 100 watts were used in the larger concert stages. Among them, 15-20 watt tube amplifiers became popular due to its compact size mobility while maintaining its tube driven characteristics, and they have become increasingly demanded for various environments such as live performances and recording situation especially in modern times. Tube Craft hits the sweet spot with 15-watt output as its first project to reflect these needs in various environments.
Speaker Design by Moollon®
With conventional speakers, we were not able to find the right tone we wanted to implement, and it was inevitable that we needed to develop a special speaker dedicated to Tube Craft. Designed by Moollon®, Tube Craft’s speakers are designed to best represent the rich dynamics and natural compression of the tube amplifiers. Modeled after the legendary speakers made by British companies in the 60s, the materials for frame, magnet, damper, cone, and dust cap were carefully chosen and rigorously tested to construct an eccentric ceramic-magnet based 30 watt speaker that expresses the delicacy of the vintage speakers.
Vintage Housing
The metal chassis is made of light, highly durable aluminium, making it less heavy to carry around while being resistant to external impact deformation. The cabinet is made of robust birch plywood, wrapped with ebony and ivory color tolex that’s dust and water resistant. The three stripes represent the intensity of racing vehicles.
