RE: [SurfGuitar101] Speaking of Showmen: Tone Rings / Nebulas

Brian Neal (xarxas) - 30 Jul 2003 19:06:38

Thats a great story Dano...I'm glad it worked out for Eric. Does this guy
you know re-tolex for a living? Does he have a business or anything?
So its my understanding that tone rings let the speaker "breathe". If a
speaker is in a sealed cabinet, it has to work a lot harder to move because
of the air trapped in the cabinet. If you slap on tone ring on there, it
lets air in so the speaker can push out, and lets the air out so the speaker
can move in. Since the speaker in a tone-ring cab has an easier time, it
sounds better (or thats how it was explained to me).
So......how come Dual Showman cabinets don't have tone rings? They are
completely sealed up with no porting. At least mine is.
Thanks,
BN
