Justin Timerlake Band plays with Statesman from Hughes & Kettner
November 1st, 2008Mike Scott and Skip Dorsey – Global players in a global band!
Recently, we shipped some Hughes & Kettner amps including our new Statesman™ Series to Mike Scott and Skip Dorsey for their upcoming show with Justin Timberlake in Las Vegas. Mike and Skip have been playing in the JT band for several years now, and are long time Hughes & Kettner ambassadors. Here is Mike’s comment when he first received his new Statesman amp…
…”Man those amps are bitchin!!!
The amps sounded gr8 (great 
right out of the box with minimal tweaking. With just a couple turns of the bass mid and treble you instantly have full punchy clean tones, fat ass lead tones and any other tone you need. What a gr8 sounding amp.
right out of the box with minimal tweaking. With just a couple turns of the bass mid and treble you instantly have full punchy clean tones, fat ass lead tones and any other tone you need. What a gr8 sounding amp.And the volume boost switch gives you all the power to cut thru when you need that little bit extra. Just when you think H&K couldn’t get any better, you guys go and outdo yourselves!!!”
Hughes & Kettner® is constantly striving to bring you real world tone and real world features in a beautiful looking and easy to use package, so you can go out, be inspired and do the job.
Here is what Skip had to say about his new Hughes & Kettner Statesman amp…..
…“I’m feeling this Statesman amp more and more. The amp is giving me what I need. Originally I thought that the clean channel wasn’t powerful enough, but a funny thing happened yesterday.
First of all, I had to put the amp on the floor because the amp is close to the percussion rig and was bleeding thru those mic’s. So that meant that I was running the high but I wasn’t hearing the amp loud because it’s blowing out near my legs. The FOH guy came to me yesterday and said I needed to turn the amp down because the clean channel was “blowing his head off” I guess that answers the question as to if there is enough headroom!!!
Right now in my opinion the Statesman is the new “king of the hill”.
Thank you Mike and Skip for your kind words about the new Hughes & Kettner Statesman™ Series.
Superstar Justin Timberlake trusts only in the finest global musicians. Mike Scott and Skip Dorsey are certainly in this category. If they can Rock Las Vegas and any place else with the new Statesman Series, just think what these Amps can do for you!
Pendulum - New European Tour with Hughes Kettner Triamps
November 1st, 2008Pendulum have just finished their very successful “Tour of the Americas”
and are ready to hit Europe with their unique mixture of hypnotising dance beats and heavy guitars.
Being on the way to become superstars in the UK, it is now time
for Pendulum to infect “The Other Side” of Europe with “Mass Chaos”, like they did this summer on all the major festivals in the UK.
With this band, you can look below the surface and you will find the depth, that is missing in our day to day radio lives.
Pendulum creates music, that takes you out of this universe.
But don’t take our word for it, check out Pendulum on their European Tour
and hear guitarist Peredur ap Gwynedd live with his TriAmps.
EV Electro-Voice NEW Tour X PA Speakers
October 21st, 2008Tour X
Electro-Voice engineering ensures the World’s biggest tours and events sound their best. The experience we’ve gained from 80 years spent shaping and influencing the professional sound reinforcement business makes its way into every loudspeaker we manufacture, including the new Tour X.
Tour X embodies the same Electro-Voice engineering excellence and aesthetic design found in its world class tour systems. Its form is seamlessly integrated into practical, functional elements that make a bold statement about its multi-application purpose and breakthrough performance.
A host of innovative features and patent pending designs make Tour X the most exciting loudspeaker series available today:
Tour X embodies the same Electro-Voice engineering excellence and aesthetic design found in its world class tour systems. Its form is seamlessly integrated into practical, functional elements that make a bold statement about its multi-application purpose and breakthrough performance.
A host of innovative features and patent pending designs make Tour X the most exciting loudspeaker series available today:
• Breakthrough SMX woofers achieve incredibly low levels of woofer distortion without sacrificing sensitivity
• Aesthetically unique, patent pending Backbone grille design for superior strength and damage resistance
• Steep slope analog crossovers with elliptical filters that provide up to 36dB per octave slopes
• All new proprietary EV designed ergonomic handles and angled input panels
• Floor monitors with patent pending SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) for near perfect driver phase summation
• Aesthetically unique, patent pending Backbone grille design for superior strength and damage resistance
• Steep slope analog crossovers with elliptical filters that provide up to 36dB per octave slopes
• All new proprietary EV designed ergonomic handles and angled input panels
• Floor monitors with patent pending SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) for near perfect driver phase summation
Electro-Voice has been building the world’s most trusted touring sound systems since the industry began. Tour X condenses every ounce of EV’s tour-proven engineering expertise into a complete line of multi-purpose loudspeakers designed to deliver the ultimate audio experience for portable or installed applications.
Many an influential industry professional has been overheard describing how loudspeaker design and technology has reached critical mass. EV sought to prove them wrong with Tour X, which boasts a host of unique, revolutionary features that add up to make it the most exciting loudspeaker line available today—a new chapter in EV’s 80-year history of sonic excellence.
Comprised of the TX1122 (12” two-way), TX1152 (15” two-way), TX1181 (18” sub), TX2152 (dual 15” two-way), TX2181 (dual 18” sub), TX1122FM (12” dedicated monitor) and TX1152FM (15” dedicated monitor), each model in the Tour X line seamlessly balances aesthetic form and road-ready functionality.

Ergonomic innovation
Not content with sourcing the same old handles and input panels that most loudspeaker manufacturers use, EV decided to design their own. The incredibly comfortable ergonomic handle is an ultra-sonically welded design that is impervious to air and water leaks—two things that can quickly degrade loudspeaker performance and longevity. The new oversized angled input panel is superior to similar designs in that it gives larger hands more room for connecting and disconnecting NL4 connectors.
Transducer technology
Known as a worldwide leader in transducers, EV has once again raised the bar for woofer performance. The breakthrough SMX Series has achieved what other designers can only dream of: a woofer that is virtually distortion-free without the traditional sacrifice in sensitivity. The well behaved and linear parameters of these woofers have an additional benefit: the ability to design and implement a passive crossover network that utilizes elliptical filters with up to 36dB per octave slopes at the crossover frequency, matching the performance of many of today’s advanced electronic digital processors.
Functional construction
Tour X dedicated vertical monitors are more than just another attempt at standard wedge design. The split baffle construction employs patent-pending SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) technology. A split baffle creates two very important benefits: moving the acoustic origins of the compression driver and woofer close together, and the split in the baffle becomes the port, allowing the entire enclosure to become much more compact. The result is “signal synchronized” with near perfect phase summation!
Key features:
· All-new ultra low distortion 500 watt continuous rated SMX woofers
· Road tested DH3 and ND2 compression drivers
· Unique Backbone Grille design for superior strength and distinct aesthetics
· Passive crossover designs with up to 36dB per octave slopes
· Super comfortable, ultra-sonically welded handles that are air and water tight
· Dedicated vertical wedge monitors with patent pending SST Technology
· 3/8-inch threaded suspension points (on top boxes) for simple installations
